Adaptive immune system
Components of the adaptive immune system include: (2)
B-cells and T-cells
In addition to the B-cells and T-cells of the adaptive immune system, there also is a small number of genetically encoded proteins called antibody genes that produce:
Antibodies
Antibodies are capable of recognizing and destroying specific:
Antigens
What are some of the numerous tissues involved in the immune system
Lymphoid tissues, bone marrow, Kidney, spleen, intestines etc.
All of our cellular elements of the blood and immune system arise from _______ found in the bone marrow
Pleuripotent stem cells
What are some causes of diseases in humans?
DNA viruses, RNA viruses, bacterial infections, fungal infection, protozoan infection and worms
The early phase of the immune response is dependent on:
Innate immunity
During the early phase of immune response, there are a variety of innate resistance mechanisms used to:
Recognize and respond to the pathogen
What type of receptors does the innate immune system use?
Invariant receptors
What type of receptors recognize common features that are present on mostly all pathogens?
Invariant receptors
Where and when is the innate immune system present?
All individuals, all of the time
The thing that distinguishes the innate immune system from the adaptive immune system is that the innate immune system:
Does not increase its responsiveness with increased exposure
The innate immune system is able to distinguish between a group of related pathogens, but does not develop a specific response to:
Individual pathogens
What is the adaptive immune system responding to and by what?
Responding to the antigen by antigen-specific lymphocytes
The adaptive immune system involves the development of what type of memory?
Immunological memory
Adaptive immune responses involve _______ of lymphocytes
Clonal Selection
What is another name for adaptive immune response?
Acquired immune response
Lifelong protective immunity to reinfection by the same pathogen
Immunologic memory
Immediate innate immunity occurs within:
0-4 hrs
The first step of immediate innate immunity is categorized by
Infection
In immediate innate immunity the infection is recognized by: (2)
Preformed, nonspecific and broadly specific effectors
If the pathogen is not removed in the immediate response of innate immunity, the response will continue on to the ______ response of innate immunity.
Early induced
The early induced innate response occurs between:
4-96 hours
In the early induced innate response, what recognized within the infection?
Microbial associated molecular patterns
In early induced innate response, once the microbial-associated molecular patterns are recognized within the infection, what occurs? (2)
Inflammation recruitment and activation of effector cells
If the early induced innate response does not result in removal of the infectious agent, the immune response will proceed on to the:
Adaptive immune response
The adaptive immune response occurs after:
96 hrs
In the adaptive immune response phase, we have the transport of an antigen to:
Lymphoid organs
In adaptive immune response phase, following the transport of the antigen to the lymphoid organs, what occurs:
Recognition by naive B and T cells
In the adaptive immune response phase, once the antigen has been recognized by naive B and T cells, what occurs?
Clonal expansion and differentiation to effector cells
Major cells of the innate immune system: (5)
Macrophages, granulocytes, mast cells, dendritic cells, and Natural Killer cells
Major cells of the adaptive immune system: (4)
B-cells, T-cells, NK cells, and Plasma cells
What type of cell produces the antibodies and secretes them at large concentrations?
Plasma cells
The innate immune system includes cells from what lineage?
Myeloid
In the initial phase of infection triggering an immune response, bacteria trigger:
Macrophages to release cytokines and chemokines
What two things are accomplished by the release of cytokines and chemokines in an immune response?
- Increase in vascular dilation
- Increase in vascular permeability
In an immune response, the increase in vascular dilation leads to:
Redness
In an immune response, the increase of vascular permeability leads to:
Swelling
Why does the increase in vascular permeability cause swelling?
Because you are moving fluid from blood/lymph into the tissue
In an immune response, the increase in vascular dilation and permeability triggers ____ to transmigrate across epithelial cell layers
Neutrophils
In an immune response the neutrophils that migrate across the epithelial cell layer function to:
Gobble up the bacteria
In an immune response, the macrophages and dendritic cells reside reside where:
In the peripheral tissue
If the infection is not taken care of by the neutrophils, then what the next cells to come into play?
Immature dendritic cells
The immature dendritic cells called in after the neutrophils fail to control the infection, come from:
Peripheral tissues
The immature dendritic cells that also reside in our peripheral tissues, will grab ahold and _____ the invading microorganisms
Ingest
In an immune response, the immature dendritic cells migrate out of the _____ and through ______ and eventually into the _______.
Peripheral tissue, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes
Once the immature dendritic cells make it to the lymph nodes in an immune response, they will interact with _______, which will lead to their activation .
Naive T-cells
In an immune response once the naive T-cells have been activated by the mature dendritic cells in the lymph node, you then get activation of _____.
B-cells
In an immune response, when the T-cells activate the B-cells in the lymph node, this activation of the B-cells leads to :
Immune antibody resonse
What must infectious agent overcome in order to establish an infection?
Innate host defenses
because of the innate host defenses, infectious disease is generally:
Quite infrequent
