Immunological Memory Flashcards
When B cells encounter antigens and produce antibodies against them this is called
Active immunity
Immunological memory makes immune responses
Quicker after a second or subsequent exposure to an antigen than after the first exposure
When the antibodies are obtained from a serum of an immune human or animal donor it is called
Passive immunity
Infection; contact with pathogen
Naturally acquired/active
Antibodies pass from mother to fetus via placenta or to infant
Naturally acquired / passive
Vaccine; dead or weakened pathogens
Artificially acquired / active
Injection of immune serum ( gamma globulin)
Artificially acquired / passive
Immunity that results from antibodies passing from mother to a baby via breastfeeding is
Naturally acquired passive immunity
Immunity that results from injection of vaccine( dead or weakened pathogens) is
Artificially acquired active immunity
Immunity that results from receiving immunoglobulin after exposure to hepatitis
Artificially acquired passive immunity
Immunity that results from bacterial and viral infection; contact with pathogen( e.g having had chickenpox during childhood)
Naturally acquired active immunity
An autoimmune disease
Rheumatoid arthritis
Hypersensitive to antigens
Allergy
Is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus; mainly damage helper TCells
