Q

define what is tolerance in regards to the immune cells

A

the receptor for the antigene is generated during the development of the T and B cells

23
Q

what is the role of the T helper cells

A

to activate the B cells and the macrophages and mediate inflammation

24
Q

what is the role of the cytotoxic T cell

A

to kill the host cells that display a foreign antigen

25
What is the role of the APC
antigen presenting cells to the T cells. The Th cell will become acitvated and produce interleukin 2 and produces inflammation
26
What is the most common APC
dendritic cells
27
where are located the T and B cells
in the lymph nodes
28
Which one of T cells recognize the MHCI receptor on the APC
cytotoxic T cell
29
Which one of the T cells recognize the MHCII on the APC
the T helper cell
30
what does MHC stands for
major histocompability complex (MHC)
31
***what are the type of cells that have the MHCII
The APCs and the B cells. Can't be found in other cells.
32
what are the main type of professional APC
macrophages, dendritic cells and B cells
33
**what are the cells that express the MHCI
all cells that have been infected (viruse or intracell pathogens. The antigen comes from the inside.
34
what is the origin of the antigens in the case of B cells and APC cells presenting the MHCII
the antigens come from the phagocytosis of a microorganisms.
35
what does the Tc cells release to kill the cells that have the antigen on the MHCI complex
granzymes and perforins.
36
____ (Tc or Th) are very effective in the infection by viruses and intracellular pathogens
Tc
37
What are angry killer cells
activated macrophages that have an increased phagocytic activity and that produces much higher levels of hydrolytic enzymes
38
how are the B cells activated?
by the release of cytokines by the Th cells previously activated by APC cells in response to the presenting of antigen on the MHCII complex on the B cell
39
what happens when a B cell is activated by a Th cell
differnetiation into plasma cells (makes more antibodies) and production of memory cells (expression of the antibody at it's surface)
40
what are the two region of the antibodies
Fab : antigen binding region that is highly variable | Fc : macrophage receptor binding region that is constant
41
what is the other name of the antibodies
immunoglobulins
42
what is the major circulating antibody
IgG
43
T or F : the antibodies are only part of the adaptive defense system
false, can be part of the innate because it can help in the activation of the complement system
44
what is the antibody found in primarly in mucous and extracellular secretory body fluids
IgA
45
What is the antibody that is the first to appear and help in the early complement activation
IgM
46
What is the antibody that is the least abbundant and has the major role in food allergies
IgE
47
How can antibodies help in neutralizing the toxins
they bind the toxins and prevent it to come into contact with cells
48
What are opsonins?
any molecules are increase the phagocytosis
49
T or F : the antibodies acts as opsonins
true, opsonin = molecule that increase the phagocytosis
50
which one of the antibody is implicated in the primary response
IgM
51
which one of the antibody is implicated in the secondary response
IgG
52
what are the two types of adaptive (acquired) immunity
active and passive
53
what is the passive acquired immunity
involves the acquisition of antibodies or antigen reactive T cell (by milk from mother for natural or by injection of immune animal serum is artificial)
54
what is the active acquired immunity
involves the production of memory cells in response to antigenic stimulus
