Immunology Flashcards
antibody against a toxin , artificial passive immunity
antitoxin
join from lipopolysaccharide layer of cell, heat stable, gram - have these
endotoxin
toxin that affects the intestines
enterotoxin
toxin outside the cell from cell waste products heat label = cook your food
exotoxin
inanimate object is the vector
fomite
till antigen or half antigen
hapten
what does not stimulate the immune response
hapten
toxin that affects the nervous system , eg botulism tetanus
neurotoxin
purpose of ozonization = enhance phagocytosis
marks target for strike
opsonin
acellular protein denatures proteins
cannot be autoclaved
prion
inactivated toxin, active artificial immunity
toxoid
antibody that is in secretory and mucous membrane
mucosal and saliva tears breast milk gut
IgA
parasitic infections, allergic reactions, increases in Hodgekins
IgG
what increases in Hodgkins Disease
lymph ca
IgE
first to increase with 2nd exposure
IgG
most numerous and crosses placenta
IgG
first to increase with FIRST exposure
IgM
largest and heaviest
IgM
active form of IgM
pentamer shape 10 binding sites
chemicals produced by immune cells
interleukins
lymphocyte activating factor
interleukin 1
interleukin 1 is made by
macrophages for the brain and nervous tissue
T cell growth factor
interleukin 2
Interleukin 2 is made by
CD4 cells
T helper
directs immune response
