LEcture 3 Flashcards
What antibody response is not long lived?
IgM
Primary immune response, requires ________ post first exposure.
day/weeks
Period of time that you have a pathogen but no antibodies to defend against it.
Viral window, (infected with no antibodies to help) (innate can act though)
Why is HIV so devastating?
it takes out the traffic cop (CD-4 cells)
B cells do not make antibodies until they become ________ cells
Plasma
What type of reaction is an allergic reaction?
type 2, it can happen in minutes (IgE)
Secondary immune response- subsequent exposures requires _______ (length of time) to occur.
hours-days
Can an allergic response happen at first exposure?
no, it has to be at secondary exposure
Secondary response we see almost totally _____.
IgG
IN primary response we see some ____ and ____.
IgM and IgG
The body is actively mounting an immune response by producing antibodies. Requires exposure to infectious agent (antigen)
Active immunity
What part of active immunity is from an immunization with altered agent or its antigens?
Artificial
True/False: If you hear the word immunization or vaccination you can’t determine if its active or passive immunity until you know what they were immunized with.
True
What is where subject receives exogenous antibodies, (does not confer long-term immunity)
Passive immunity
Why would you give artificial passive to a patient?
When you need immediate protection. (Like anti venom.) (Antibody from a horse) (Hep B immunoglobulin- don’t have time for you to produce your own antibodies) (rabies- series of shots with antigens and antibodies, because 0% chance of survival with rabies) so you want short term and long term help
