Q

Phase:
When re-exposed to the same antigen, these memory cells proliferate quickly to generate an immune response that is much faster and more robust than the first response to the pathogen

A

Memory (establishment of immunological memory)

7
Q

Essential in the process to induce an effective adaptive immune response
Are not able to recognize extracellular pathogens by themselves so they require an intermediate to present them the antigens found inside the body

Q

2 Parts of Immune System Communication

A

Lymphocyte Activation

Cytokine Networks

17
Q
  • involves many interactions with other immune cells, which will mediate the efficiency of the specific immune response
  • macrophage, dendritic cell, B-cell, helper T-cell, cytotoxic T-cells
A

Lymphocyte Activation

18
Q
  • coordinate appropriate immune responses and modulate the balance between humoral and cell-mediated immunity
  • are divided into various classes depending on their functions the structure of the receptor
A

Cytokine Networks

19
Q

5 Kinds of Cytokine Networks

A
  • Chemokines
  • Interleukins
  • Interferons
  • Tumour Necrosis Factor
  • Growth Factors
20
Q

B- T-cell Signalling Pathways (6 Steps)

A
  1. Peptide-MHC class II complex
  2. Signal 1: TCR-Peptide: MHC Complex
  3. Expression of Co-Stimulatroy Molecules
  4. Signal 2: Co-stimulation
  5. Signal 3: Cytokines
  6. Outcome of 3 Signals
21
Q

3 Components of Immune Synapse

A
  1. Signalling Molecules (cSMAC)
  2. Adhesion Molecules (pSMAC)
  3. Signal Regualtion Molecules (dSMAC)
22
Q

•induce chemotaxis
•call in cells to the region of infection or injury
•key role in
- inflammation’ wound healing
- cell-mediated and humoral immune responses
-hematopoiesis

A

Chemokines

23
Q
  • contain over 10 subfamilies
  • regulate immune & inflammatory responses
  • primarily affect the proliferation and differentiation of various hematopoietic and immune cells
A

Interleukins (IL)

24
Q
  • most common and well-known molecules are IFN-a, IFN-b, IFN-y
  • induce an antiviral state – inhibit the replication process of viruses
  • help regulate immune responses
A

Interferons (IFN)

25
Q
  • the most common and well-known are TNF-a & TNF-b
  • involved in systemic inflammation (septic shock)
  • involved in tumor regression
  • can cause apoptosis (cell death)
A

Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF)

26
Q 
•stimulate
- growth
- proliferation
- healing
- cellular differentiation
•regulate a variety of cellular processes such as immune responses
A

Growth Factors

27
Q
  • acquired by the fetus or newborn from the mother
  • placental transfer of antibodies during pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • short-lived immunity (~6months)
  • no immunological memory for the recipient
A

Natural Passive Immunity

28
Q
  • acquired by an injection of serum containing antibodies
  • immunity is temporary
  • no immunological memory for the recipient
A

Artificial Passive Immunity

29
Q

•acquired through infection by a pathogen
- possibly leading to symptoms/a disease state
•development of innate and adaptive immune responses
•immunological memory has a significant change of being developed

A

Natural Active Immunity

30
Q
  • acquired through vaccination
  • development of innate and adaptive immune responses
  • no symptoms/disease states present
  • immunological memory has a significant chance of being developed
A

Artificial Active Immunity
