Q

Proteins that appear on cell surfaces can be
used as markers to differentiate T cells and B
cells.

A

Surface marker

22

Panels of antibodies from different
laboratories were used for analysis, and antibodies reacting similarly with standard cell lines were said to define. As each antigen,, was found, it was assigned a number

A

clusters of
differentiation (CD)

34
T cell development
Double-negative thymocytes  Double-positive thymocytes  Negative selection  Mature T cell  Activated T cell  Sensitized T cell
35
Type of t cells
Types of T cells 1) helper T cells (CD4) 2) cytotoxic T cells (CD8) 3) suppressor T cells 4) memory T cells
36
B cell development
B cell development • Pro-B cell • Pre-B cell • Immature B cell • Mature B cell • Activated B cell • Plasma cell
37
A small percentage of lymphocytes do not express the markers of either T cells or B cells.
Nk cells
38
These lymphocytes are generally larger than T cells and B cells at approximately 15 μm in diameter, and they contain kidney-shaped nuclei with condensed chromatin and prominent nucleoli.
Nk cells
39
NK cells arise from the________ and differentiate into a ______
common lymphocyte precursor (CLP) T/NK cell that can become either a T cell or an NK cell
40
, which is a receptor for the fragment crystallizable portion, or nonspecific end, of the immunoglobulin molecule IgG.
CD16
41
Fate of Antigen after Penetration
A. Through the blood stream B. Through the Epidermal, Dermal or Subcutaneous Tissue C. Through the gastrointestinal or respiratory tract
42
Laboratory Identification of Lymphocytes
 Cell flow cytometry  Fluorescence microscopy  Other methods: Rosette test
43
– Involves the administration of vaccines to recipients.
ACTIVE IMMUNIZATON
44
Bacterial vaccines contain intact bacteria
Vaccine
45
– Prepared by killing cultured organisms with heat or chemicals but must preserve the immunogenecity of the preparation
Killed bacteria
46
– Prepared by frequent subculture on artificial media.
Live attenuated bacterial vaccines
47
– Prepared from capsule, pili or toxoids
Bacterial materials vaccine
48
Prepared by repeated subculture in tissue culture or by serial passage in various hosts.
◦ Live attenuated viral vaccines –
49
– Preparations are safer, but shorter immune state and require booster dose
Killed (Inactivated)
50
Bacterial vs viral vaccine
Read table lol
51
Involved in pasive immunization
PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION 1. Antitoxins – consist of toxin neutralizing antibodies that are specific for a given toxin: ◦ Commercial antiserum production ◦ Representative antitoxin 2. Gamma globulins 3. Specific Immune globulin
52
Routes of administration
Routes of Administration  IM and SC injection – most common methods of administration  ID – intracutaneous injection is used for revaccination  Oral administration – for OPV  Intranasal administration – for influenza vaccination
