Specific mechanisms of resistance Flashcards
specific host defence is what level of defence
third line of defence
this mechanism of resistance results from the production and activity of specific antibodies and cells when defending oneself against foreign antigen
acquired
humoral immunity involved
the production of antibodies
humoral immunity is initiated by
b lymphocytes
cell mediated immunity is initiated by
T lymphocytes
cell mediated immunity is activated by
granulomatous infection
the main difference between antibodies and cell mediated immunity is
CMI can go intracellularly
humeral mediated immunity is activated by
T- lymphocytes
this immunoglobulin is produced in the largest amount and associated with long term immunity
IgG
IgM is
produced early, only for short term immunity, pentameterq
IgA is
present in secretions, tears saliva, nasal secretion, breast milk, prevents reinvasion via mucous membranes
IgD
function is unknown
IgE
associated with allergic reactions
type I hypersensitivity is
anaphylactic shock
type II hypersensitivity involves
body cell death
