MTAP FINALS Flashcards
It’s used for detection of specific infectious agent
Immunology and Serology
Defective immune response/system
Autoimmune disorder
Pertains to the variable region of the antibody
Idiotype
Lyse on the heavy chain structure immunoglobulins
Isotype
Sequence in the constant region
Allotype
It has 2 different chain
Light Chain
It has 22 chromosome
Lambda
Found between CH1 and CH2
Hinge Region
MHC means
Major Histocompatibility Complex
Dictated by several factors. Where antibody producing capability of the antigen when it is present .
Immunogenicity
It considered as a rich source of antigen
Graft Types
Self antigen that belongs to the host.
Autoantigen
Derived from individual’s body/ patient’s own body
Autograft
It’s responsible for the molecular weight of antigen
Carrier portion
Stable, the best and strongest antigen
Protein
Most common carrier is Albumin
Hapten
It can induce an immune response
Immunogen
It enhance the immune response; to have a greater immune reactivity
Adjuvants
Induces the hypersensitivity reactions
Allergen
The immune response is exaggerated that can be harmful to individual
Hypersensitivity
It must be recognized as foreign or non-self to induce immune response
Foreigness
It’s exist in unrelated plants/animals; either identical/closely related in structure
Heterophile antigen
It’s the most fatal (ex. Anaphylaxis/ Severe Asthma)
Type I Hypersensitivity Reaction
It’s the surface of antigens; ABO, Rh antigens
Glycoproteins
Least immunogenic; easily disintegrate in the circulation -> shorter circulation life
Nucleic Acids, Lipids and Amino Acids
It has constant amino acid sequence (constant region) allotype
Carboxyterminal
