Lymphatic System Part II Flashcards
Molecule that is recognized by cells of adaptive immune system
ANTIGENS
elicits a response from these cells
ANTIGENS
Soluble molecules (proteins or polysaccharides)
ANTIGENS
Proteins from the intact cell (bacteria, protozoa, or tumor cells)
ANTIGENS
small molecular domains of the antigen
ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS / EPIPTODES
IMMUNE RESPONSE TO ANTIGENS:
a. Cellular
b. Humoral
c. both
IMMUNE RESPONSE TO ANTIGENS:
in which lymphocytes are primarily in charge of eliminating the antigen.
Cellular
IMMUNE RESPONSE TO ANTIGENS:
in which antibodies are primarily responsible for the response
Humoral
a glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin family
ANTIBODIES
interacts specifically with an antigenic determinant
ANTIBODIES
isolated carboxyl-terminal portion of the heavy-chain molecules
FC REGION
CLASSES OF ANTIBODIES:
I. IgG ANTIBODY
II. IgA ANTIBODY
III. IgM ANTIBODY
IV. IgE ANTIBODY
V. IgD ANTIBODY
CLASSES OF ANTIBODIES:
Most abundant 75-85% in blood
IgG ANTIBODY
CLASSES OF ANTIBODIES:
Increased during infections
IgG ANTIBODY
CLASSES OF ANTIBODIES:
Highly soluble and stable (half-life> 3 weeks)
IgG ANTIBODY
CLASSES OF ANTIBODIES:
Crosses placental barrier into the fetal circulation
IgG ANTIBODY
CLASSES OF ANTIBODIES:
PASSIVE immunity against certain infections until the newborn’s own adaptive immunity is acquired
IgG ANTIBODY
CLASSES OF ANTIBODIES:
Present in almost all exocrine secretions
IgA ANTIBODY
CLASSES OF ANTIBODIES:
Dimeric form
IgA ANTIBODY
