M3 PART 2 Flashcards
can be antibody-mediated (humoral immunity), cell-mediated (cellular immunity) or both. An encounter with a microbial or viral agent usually elicits a complex variety of responses.
ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY
highly specific, has immunologic memory and can respond rapidly and vigorously to a second antigen exposure.
ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY
B lymphocytes develop in
BONE MARROW
can either be T-cell dependent or T-cell independent
B CELL ACTIVATION
TYPES OF B CELLS
produce immunoglobulins
ANTIBODY SECRETING PLASMA CELLS (APCs)
TYPES OF B CELLS
present antigens to helper T-cells that responds rapidly during reinfection
MEMORY CELLS
what type of immunity involves B cell
HUMORAL IMMUNITY
antibodies are produced by what type of cells
B CELLS
T cells are produced in
BONE MARROW
where does the T cells travel to mature
THYMUS
play a significant role in the adaptive immunity response
LYMPHOID CELLS
- effector cells that contain the CD4 proteins
- responsible for stimulating the B-cells to produce antibodies
- promote the development of delayed hypersensitivity and serve as a defense against intracellular agents.
HELPER T CELLS
effector cells that contain CD8 proteins and are mainly responsible for the destruction of cells in tissue grafts, tumor cells and virus-infected cells
CYTOTOXIC T CELLS
a protein produced by B-lymphocytes (plasma cells) in response to the presence of antigen and is capable of combining specifically with an antigen
IMMUNOGLOBULIN / ANTIBODY
substance that induces an immune response
ANTIGENS
can trigger the activation of immune response (release of antibody)
NON-SELF / FOREIGN ANTIGEN
small molecules that cannot trigger an immune response
HAPTENS
the chains of the Ig molecules are linked by
DISULFIDE BRIDGES
Antibody Structure
binds to the antigen
VARIABLE
Ig molecule is a ____ chain
POLYPEPTIDE
Antibody Structure
biologic functions, basis for distinguishing classes of antibodies
CONSTANT
Antibody Structure
fragments where antigen binding happens
FAB FRAGMENTS
Antibody Structure
fragments where biological activities happen
FC FRAGMENTS
- needs activation of B cell
- antigen will be introduced
CELL DEPENDENT
- does not need activation of B cell
- if encountered an LPS will be activated even without B cell
CELL INDEPENDENT
- Major class of immunoglobulin present in the serum
- The only immunoglobulin class to cross the placenta and is therefore the most abundant immunoglobulin in newborns.
- Also mediates opsonization of antigen through binding of antigen-antibody complexes to Fc receptors on macrophages and other cells
IgG
targets the capsule of bacteria
IgG 2
can activate the complement
IgG 3
- biggest (malaki)
- first to respond (mabilis)
- most efficient, has highest binding capacity (maaasahan)
- 10 binding sites
- short lived
IgM
kapag bumaba ang IgM levels, papalitan ni
IgG
- major immunoglobulin responsible for mucosal immunity
- It is the main immunoglobulin in secretions such as milk, saliva and tears and in secretions of the respiratory, intestinal and genital tracts.
- It protects mucous membranes from attack by bacteria and viruses
IgA
- An immunoglobulin bounded to the surface of mast cells, basophils and eosinophils where it acts as a receptor for the antigen that stimulated its production.
- It triggers allergic responses of the immediate (anaphylactic) type through the release of mediators like histamine and leukotriene.
- appears in external secretions and is also increased during helminthic infections.
IgE
- An immunoglobulin that acts as an antigen receptor when present on the surface of B-lymphocytes.
- It is present in trace amounts only in serum and its function is unclear
IgD
in the event of second encounter with the same antigen, the second antibody reponse is
MORE RAPID & GENERATE HIGHER LEVELS
in secondary response, the amount of IgM produced is
SAME
in secondary response, the amount of IgG produced is
higher
clump antibodies
AGGLUTINATION
enhance phagocytosis
OPSONIZATION
