16
Q

antigens which are produced normally during the fetal development and would start to decline at birth; if it is still present in adult, it is malignant
+ example

A

carcinofetal antigens

ex: CEA/AFP

17
Q

t or f. carcinofetal antigens will elicit humoral or cell mediated response

A

false. since they were formed during fetal development, our body classify it as self antigens

18
Q

antigens which are produced normally during the fetal development and would start to decline at birth

A

spontaneous tumor antigens

19
Q

natural immunity

successfully used in cancer immunotherapy

A

activated macrophages

20
Q

natural immunity

affects the tumor vasculature to kill tumor

A

tumor necrosis factor

21
Q

natural immunity

antibodies wrap the tumor

A

direct cytolysis

22
Q

natural immunity

granulated lymphocytes; functions as immunosurveillance

A

NK cells

23
Q

T cell mediated

this cytokine activates the T cells, B cells, NK cells

A

IL-1

24
Q

T cell mediated

acute inflammatory cytokine that destroys tumor cells by necrosis/apoptosis

A

TNFa

25
Q

T cell mediated

this cytokine is produced by the T cells and the NK cells; stimulation of the anti-tumor immune response

A

interferon gamma

26
Q

T cell mediated

provide an effective anti-tumor immunity by directly lysing the tumor cells

A

cytolytic t-lymphocytes

27
Q

serves as good tumor markers

A

antibodies

normally present in very minimum amounts; elevated when there is cancer

A

glycoprotein

29

disease associated with AFP

A

viral hepatitis
cirrhosis
ulcerative colitis

37
Q

t or f. beta hcg is normal for males

A
