Test 1 chapter 8 Flashcards
rapid
nonspecific
short-lived
inflammatory response
slower
specific
long-lived memory
adaptive immune response
substances capable pf generating an immune response
“non self”
antigens
associated with the body fluids and due to the production of soluble proteins call antibodies
humoral immunity
associated with the development of “trained” armies of the T lymphocytes
cellular immunity
antibodies circulate in the blood and binds to antigens on infectious agents. this can result in direct or indirect response
humoral immunity
inactivates microorganism
direct response
activates inflammatory mediators that destroy pathogen
indirect
antibodies are responsible for protection against what
many bacteria and viruses
T cell differentiation which lead to direct, indirect or avoid attacking self
cellular immunity
cell mediated immunity protects against what
viruses and cancer
lymphocytes that downgrade the immune response and also provide tolerance to self
T regulatory cells
lymphocytes that are trained killer cells, they destroy host cells infected by bacteria/viruses and cancer cells
Cytotoxic T cells
have perviously encountered and responded to their antigen
memory T cells
react with antibodies/antigen receptors on B and T cells to induce immune response
antigens
