Pathogens And The Immune Response Flashcards
When a B cell is stimulates two different pathways start, what are they?
What are Plasma cells?
Through somatic recombination, each B cell expresses an antibody with unique antigen-binding sites. What happens after this?
Explain Clonal expansion of B cells. What is required for this to happen? (Usually).
Explain the 5 steps in adaptive immunity.
Explain how antibodies function as immune effectors?
Inactivate toxins, act as opsonins. Activate complement, kill cell, clonal expansion. Neutralizing antibodies.
Overview question: describe the Immune response to bacteria.

Inflammation:
What induce inflammation?
What attract white blood cells?
What attract neutrophils?
Define vasodilation.
Define what cause edema
What else does inflammation stimulate.
What are the 3 phagocytes?
What are they promoted by?
What are innate opsonins? (2)
Answer question in red.
Where is this happening?
There are 3 important interactions in the stimulation of the adaptive immune response involving B cells. Name all 3
