34
Q

fifth sign of inflammation

A

loss of function

35
Q
  • To mobilize and attract immune components to the site of injury
  • To set in motion mechanisms to repair tissue damage and localize and clear away harmful substances
  • Destroy microbes and block their further invasion
A

inflammation

36
Q

antibodies

A

b cells

37
Q

t cell receptor

A

t cell

38
Q

adaptive immune response?

A

??

39
Q

rapid response
fixed
limited number of specificities
constant during response

A

innate immunity

40
Q

slow response
variable
numerous highly selective specificities
improve during response

A

adaptive immuity

41
Q

Two Arms of the Adaptive Immune Response

A

humoral and cellular immune response

42
Q

antibody mediated and b cells

A

humoral immune response

43
Q

t cell mediated

A

cellular immune response

44
Q
  • do not destroy pathogens
  • binds to pathogens
  • molecular adaptors
A

antibiotics

45
Q

prevent pathogens from binding and inhibit their replication

A

neutralizing antibodies

46
Q

Antibodies bind to pathogens and cause their`

A

Inactivation or Destruction

47
Q

are the Diverse Receptors of Adaptive Immunity

A

immunoglobulin and t cells

48
Q

initially the ab response focuses on —-. next is to focus on —-.

A

speed, quality.

49
Q

improved binding by the V regions

A

somatic hypermutation

50
Q

improved effector function by the constant regions

A

isotope switching

51
Q

Occurs upon first exposure to antigen
There is a 3 to 5 day lag period
Maximum IgM production in about 7 days
Maximum IgG levels after 15 days

A

primary immune response

52
Q

distinct properties and
traits that enable it
to do so

A

AB isotope

53
Q

has same 4 phases as primary response

A

secondary response

54
Q

differences in secondary compared to primary

A

time - shorter lag phase, longer plateau, more gradual decline
type of antibody - IgG predominant
AB titer - higher titer, plateau 10 fold higher

55
Q

Faster, stronger, better than before
More rapid response – lag time is shorter
Last longer
Larger amount of IgG is generated
Ab’s produced have more affinity for the antigen

A

secondary

56
Q

an adaptive immune response mediated by specific cells of the immune system

A

cell mediated immunity

57
Q

primarily t cells, but also macrophages and NK cells

A

cell mediated immunity

58
Q

immunity that can be transferred from one organism to another by lymphoid cells, but not by serum antibodies

cell mediated immunity

59
Q

involved the destruction of antigen bearing cells by T cells

A

cell mediated

60
Q

involved in the use of AB made by b cells

62
Q

comparison of humoral and cell mediated immunity

Only recognizes Ag with MHC Class II

A

64
Q

Responsible for killing virally infected cells

Only recognizes Ag with MHC Class I

A

CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells

65
Q

Role of MHC-II proteins

  • –Found only on Ag-presenting cells (dendritic cells)
  • – Display only foreign (exogenous antigen)
  • –Stimulate the activation of helper (CD4+) T cells
A

Th cell recognition

66
Q

MHC-1 proteins

  • – Found on nearly all nucleated cells
  • – Display peptides produced by host cells or within host cells e.g.: viral infection
A

Tc cell recognition

67
Q

Binding of cytotoxic CD8+ cell to abnormal peptides on MHC-1

Co-stimulation via cytokines

A

Tc cell activation

68
Q

is represented by more than one genetic locus

A

each class of MHC

69
Q

HLA?

A

human leukocyte antigen

70
Q

HLA-A, -B, -C

A

MHC-I loci

71
Q

HLA-DR, -DQ -DP

A

MHC-II loci

72
Q

Comparison of Class I and Class II MHC Pathways

A
73
Q

Dysfunctions of immunity―two broad categories

A
  1. overly active/misdirected immune response

2. immunodeficiency

74
Q

Allergies/asthma
Autoimmune disease (e.g., multiple sclerosis,
Crohn’s disease)

A

overly active/misdirected immune response

75
Q
  • Primary (genetic) loss of immune function
  • Secondary (acquired) loss of immune function
  • Opportunistic infections (e.g., oral thrush) can occur in people with impaired immune responses
A

immuodeficiency

76
Q

where is majority of commensal bacteria

A

the colon

77
Q

can kill commensal bacteria

A

antibiotics

78
Q

gain a foothold and produce toxins that cause mucosal injury

A

pathogenic bacteria

79
Q

leak into gut between injured epithelial cells

A

red and white blood cells
