specific response Flashcards
recognition phase
when looking at an antigen and determining whether or not it is self or non-self (foreign)
surveillance is defined as??
the constant lookout for non-self antigen
when the immune system has memory of reacting against something what happens to the reaction speed when it encounters that same antigen?
it will react faster the next time
CMI involves a response to what kind of situations?
tumors, viruses, intracellular pathogens
Humoral involves a response to what kind of situations?
bacteria, toxins, extracellular antigens
both responses involve which cells?
Macrophages and helper T cells
humoral involves what kind of cells?
MAC, helper T cells, B cells, Plasma cells, and antibodies
CMI involves what cells?
MAC, helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, cytotoxic lymphokines
what are cytokines?
chemical signals produced by macrophages and lymphocytes and allow for communication between cells
generic category for chemicals produced by macrophages?
cytokine
what is a monokine?
specific category chemicals produced by macrophages
lymphokine
specifice category produced by a lymphocyte
basic sequence for CMI response
AG + MAC –> Helper T cell –> Cytotoxic T cells –> Lymphokines –> Memory cells
basic sequence for humoral response?
AG + MAC –> Helper T cell –> B cell –> Plasma cells –> Antibodies –> Memory cells
macrophages phagocytize what?
the antigen
macrophage breaks down the anitgen into?
epitope
processing is when?
the epitope is attached to MHC class 1 or 2
processed antigen is physically presented to ?
helper T cell (self)
