the specific region of an antigen that is recognized by an antibody

24
Q

which isotype is the first to be produced in the primary response to an antigen?

A

IgM

25
Q

major function of dendritic cell

A

display a microbial antigen on its surface for transfer to lymph nodes where recognition by helper T cells will occur

26
Q

lysozyme helps to protect against pathogens by

A

breaking down peptidoglycan in bacteria cell walls

27
Q

which cell type is essentially the defining cell of the acute inflammatory infiltrate?

A

neutrophils

28
Q

an allergic reaction to a bee sting is an example of delayed hypersensitivity, true or false?

A

false

29
Q

a granuloma is a localized collection of

A

mononuclear phagocytes

30
Q

MHC I presents…

A

endogenous antigens

31
Q

Mononuclear phagocytes are the same as…

A

macrophages

32
Q

Penicillin

A

cell wall synthesis inhibitor

33
Q

Quinolone

A

DNA synthesis inhibitor

34
Q

Tetracycline

A

Protein synthesis inhibitor

35
Q

Sulfa

A

essential metabolite inhibitor

36
Q

Macrolide

A

protein synthesis inhibitor

37
Q

Amphotericin B

A

Ergosterol synthesis inhibitor

38
Q

different between latent and chronic infection, give example of each virus

A

latent is when virus is present in cells, but not replicating. Ex: Herpes
Chronic is when virus SLOWLY replicates causing minimal damage to host cells. Ex: Hep.B

39
Q

What is the end result of successful autoclaving called and what test would you use?

A

sterilization, use a spore test. Test spores of a bacillus or bacterium. Vial with spores is autoclaved then incubated in nutrient media. If spore can grow, then autoclave is not functioning properly and nothing can be assumed to be sterile.

40

sanitization
sterilization
antisepsis
disinfection

41

45
Q

I can have a cyst form to help me survive

A

46
Q

Why is it important to know the MIC of an antibiotic for a specific bacteria?

A

prevent toxicity, ensure adequate dosing intervals, attain adequate/effective levels over MIC

47

48
Q

breastfeeding

A

49
Q

tetanus anti-toxin

A

artificially acquired passive immunity

50
Q

What happens in hemolytic disease of newborn?

A

Mother is Rh-, father is Rh+. Fist pregnancy is baby Rh+, then the mom’s immune system develop anti-RH antibodies. Second baby is Rh+, then mom’s antibodies will go to baby and attack the cells.

Complement is involved ( Antigen and antibody) in cell lysis.
Type II hypersensitivity

51
Q

is memory a characteristic of the innate immune system?

A

NO

52
Q

define opsonization and give 2 examples

A

the coating of microorganisms to facilitate phagocytosis. Ex are c3b, antibody, CRP

53
Q

Describe the TB test and what positive result means

A

TB test is when PPD is injected IC and observed for redness and induration after 14/48 hours, shows you if the person has been exposed to the bacteria M. tuberculosis.
