Week 2- Adaptive Immunity Flashcards
Adaptive Immunity is
-More Specific
-Has Memory
Innate immunity works with adaptive by
introducing tings for adaptive to kill
General characteristics of adaptive:
Recognition of ____ (antigens)
non self
General characteristics of adaptive:
I ___ than innate but more ___
slower but more specific
General characteristics of adaptive:
Adaptive provides ____ term protection
longer
Clonal Diversity begins at birth and occurs primarily in primary____ organs
lymphoid
Examples of primary lymphoid organs
thymus, bone marrow
As B & T cells mature, they migrate to ____ lymphoid organs
secondary
Examples of Secondary lymphoid organs
spleen, lymph nodes, adenoids, tonsils, Peyer’s patches (intestines)
Clonal Selection requires
exposure of cell to antigen
Clonal selection: Antigen is processed then presented to immune cells by
Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs)
B cells turn into
Antibodies
T cells turn into
Effector Cells
Active immunity
-Produced after natural exposure to ANTIGEN
-Body Builds up own antibodies
Passive Immunity
Antibodies from somewhere or someone else introduced to body
Examples of Active immunity
Infection, Vaccine
Examples of Passive Immunity
Maternal antibodies, Monoclonal antibodies/IVIG
An antigen that can trigger an immune response
Immunogenic Antigen
Epitope
Part of antigen that binds
Paratope
Part of antibody that binds
Immunogenic capability depends on
how foreign, size, chemically complex, amount
antibody =
Immunoglobulin
Antibodies/Immunoglobulin are produced by
Plasma cells
IgG
Chronic inflammation/infex
