Moldule 19 pt 2 Flashcards
This occurs when B cells encounter antigens and produce specific antigens against them
Active Humoral Immunity
What are the two types of active humoral immunity?
Naturally Acquired
Artificially Acquired
In this type of active humoral immunity, it is a response to a bacterial infection
Naturally Acquired Active Humoral
In this type of active humoral immunity, it is a response to a vaccine
Artificially Acquired
This occurs when B cells are not challenged, memory does not occur, is more a short term fix.
Passive Humoral Immunity
What type of passive humoral immunity are antibodies that deliver to a fetus via placenta or Infant milk
Naturally acquired Passive Humoral
What type of passive humoral immunity is an injection of serum such as gamma gobulin, protection is immediate but eventually it degrades in the body
Artificially acquired Passive Humoral
These are proteins secreted in response to an antigen and are able to bind to specific defected B cells
Antibodies or Immunogobulins
This is the region of each antibody that combine to form identical antigen binding sites
Variable (V)
This is the region of stem that determines the antibody class
Constant (C)
This antibody helps prevent entry of pathogens through mucus and other secretions
IgA
This antibody is the first released, it has potent agglutinating agent and fixes and activates complements
IgM
This antibody is active in some allergies and parasitic infections
IgE
This antibody is a monomer that attaches to the surface of B cells and functions as a B cell receptor
IgD
This antibody causes mast cells and basophils to release Histamine
IgE
This is 75% of the antibodies, it crosses the placental barrier
IgG
Antibodies cant destroy antigens themselves, so they can ___ them for destruction
Tag
This is a defense mechanism used by antibodies which is the simplest and it blocks the antigen sites on a viruses so they loose their toxic effect
Neutralization
This is a defense mechanism used by antibodies that cell bound antigens are crossed linked and make clumping, happens with wrong blood transfusions
Agglutination
This is a defense mechanism used by antibodies when soluble molecules cross link instead of cells and settle out in the solution
Precipitation
This is a defense mechanism used by antibodies where large amounts of cells attack a certain thing in the body using cell lysis
Complete fixation and activation
