17
Q

Examples of Passive Immunity

A

Maternal antibodies, Monoclonal antibodies/IVIG

18
Q

An antigen that can trigger an immune response

A

Immunogenic Antigen

19
Q

Epitope

A

Part of antigen that binds

20
Q

Paratope

A

Part of antibody that binds

21
Q

Immunogenic capability depends on

A

how foreign, size, chemically complex, amount

22
Q

antibody =

A

Immunoglobulin

23
Q

Antibodies/Immunoglobulin are produced by

A

Plasma cells

24
Q

IgG

A

Chronic inflammation/infex

25
IgA
Secretory (immune function of mucous membranes)
26
IgM
Initial response
27
IgE
Allergic response
28
-Most abundant -Crosses placenta -Accounts for most of protective activity
IgG
29
-Secretory organs -Mucus, gut secretions -Located along glands, mucosal surfaces
IgA
30
-First responder produced during response to antigen
IgM
31
-Defends against parasite -Allergic reactions -Histamine release
IgE
32
What cells proves antigen from cite of inflammation
Dendritic Cells
33
Antigen processing and presentation requires what 3 things
1) Appropriate antigen type 2) Lymphocyte recognition 3) Appropriate presentation of antigen
34
When is IgM detectable in body after initial exposure
5-7 days (in body before that but not detectable)
35
Superantigens
-out of control inflammatory response --excessive production of cytokines
36
What cells provide peripheral tolerance to antigens (If we don't have -> autoimmune, cancer)
T regulatory lymphocytes
