Q

This antibodies are produced by the body’s immune system against “self” antigen

A

Autoantibodies

17
Q

This antibodies are produced by the body’s immune system against “self” antigen

A

Autoantibodies

18
Q

This is a part of an antigen that reacts specifically with an antibody or T-cell receptor

A

Epitope

19
Q

This is the clumping of particulate antigens by antibodies specific for the
antigens

A

Agglunitation

20
Q

This is the s the tendency that an epitope has for combining with the antigen-binding site
on an antibody molecule.

A

Affinity

21
Q

This is the strength of the bond between the antigen and the antibody

A

Avidity

22
Q

This is the smallest amount of antigen or antibody that can be detected.

A

Sensitivity

23
Q

This is the ability of an antibody to bind to an antigen with complementary

A

Specificity

24
Q

These are glycoprotein substances secreted by antigen-stimulated B cells

A

Immunoglobulins

25
Q

It is the predominant immunoglobulin in secretions such as tears, saliva, sweat,
breast milk, and respiratory tract, genital, and intestinal secretion

A

IgA

26
Q

This exists as a monomer, and its function is unknown

A

IgD

27
Q

This is the is the predominant immunoglobulin in the adult. s. It is also the only
immunoglobulin that crosses the placental barrier, thus transferring immunity from
mother to infant

A

IgAIgG

28
Q

This is the largest of the immunoglobulins, existing as a pentamer. It is the first
immunoglobulin to be produced after exposure to an antigen

A

IgM

29
Q

This is the largest of the immunoglobulins, existing as a pentamer. It is the first
immunoglobulin to be produced after exposure to an antigen

A

IgM

30
Q

This is group of proteins synthesized in mononuclear phagocytes, hepatocytes,
fibroblasts, and some endothelial cells

A

Complement

31
Q

A small peptide formed during complement activation that causes
increased vascular permeability, contraction of smooth muscle, and release of histamine
from basophils and mast cells.

A

Anaphylatoxins

32
Q

A life-threatening response to an allergen characterized by the systemic
release of histamine

A

Anaphylaxis
