Types of Immunity and Immunoglobulin Classes Flashcards
What type of immunity is follows immunization or infection?
ACTIVE Immunity
What type of immunity is associated with rubella immunization?
Active Immunity
What type of immunity is associated with neonatal syphilitic IgG antibody titers?
Passive Immunity
What type of immunity is associated with MEMORY?
Active Immunity and Adaptive Immunity
What type of immunity is associated with immunizations?
ACTIVE immunity
What type of immunity is associated with ANTIBODY TRANSFER to an individual? (ex. injection of an antibody, like gamma globulin injections)
PASSIVE immunity
What type of immunity is associated with an individual PRODUCING an antibody?
ACTIVE immunity
What type of immunity is NOT associated with memory?
Passive immunity
What type of immunity is associated with placental transfer of antibodies?
Passive Immunity (Individual did not create antibodies but it was TRANSFERRED)
Which immunity is non-specific and does not require memory?
Natural/Innate Immunity
[Adaptive is specific and has memory!]
Which immunity is specific and has memory?
Adaptive/Acquired Immunity
Your skin and stomach acid is apart of what type of immunity?
Natural/Innate
Skin –> exogenous
Stomach acid –> endogenous
NK cells and PMNs are apart of what type of immunity?
Natural/Innate Immunity
T cells and B cells are apart of what immunity?
Adaptive/Acquired Immunity
What are two types of adaptive immunity?
Cellular and Humoral Immunity
What cell produces antibody?
B cell –> Plasma Cell
Cellular and humoral immunity are apart of what broader classification of immunity?
Adaptive immunity
What type of immunity is associated with VIRAL infections?
Adaptive Immunity –> CELLULAR immunity (primary defense against viral/fungal infections)
What immunity is the primary defense against viral/fungal infections?
Cellular immunity
What is the primary cell type associated with CELLULAR immunity?
T cells / Lymphokines
What type of immunity is associated with defense against BACTERIAL infections?
Humoral immunity
[Cellular immunity –> viral/fungal infections]
What type of immunity is associated with Hypersensitivity Types I, II, III?
Humoral Immunity
Which antibody fixes complement the BEST?
IgM
What antibodies are capable of fixing complement?
IgM (strongest complement fixer)
IgG
What antibody has the GREATEST plasma concentration? (~70%)
IgG
What antibody is the largest?
IgM
What antibody activates complement easily?
IgM
Where is IgA found?
SAliva, TeArs (body secretions)
What is the role of IgD?
Don’t know! But it is present on B cell surface.
What is the role of IgE?
Thing allerg-EE! (IgE)
Allergic response by mediating release of histamines from mast cells.
Type I hypersensitivity
What is the role of IgA?
Since you know this is found in body secretions, it’s primary role is defense against LOCAL infections at the MUCOSAL surface.
