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
