med immunology 4

QuestionAnswer
What is other name of antibody? immunoglobulins
antibody is consisted of 4 ________, 2 of which are _______ and 2 of which are _______. polypeptide chains, heavy chains, light chains
antibody contains 2 identical fragments called ________ with ends that bind to specific antigen. Fab (hyper variable region)
________ binds to various cells and molecules of the immune system such as the complement system, macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, mast cells, basophils and lymphocytes. Fc fragment (constant region)
List 5 function of antibody activation of complement, stimulation of inflammation, neutralization of pathogens, opsonization, agglutination
For the function of neutralization of pathogens, antibody fills the surface of ________ on a virus or the _______ on a microbial enzyme to prevent it from attaching. receptors, active site
__________ are a special type of antibodies that neutralize a bacterial exotoxin. antitoxins
_______________ is the process of coating microorganisms or other particles with specific antibodies so they are more readily recognized by phagocytes. opsonization
_______________ is antibody aggregation; cross-linking pathogens or particles into large clumps agglutination
Among 5 classes of antibodies, which are free floating antibodies? IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE
Among 5 classes of antibodies, which are not free floating antibodies? IgD
Among 5 classes of antibodies, which is B-cell receptor? IgD
Among 5 classes of antibodies, which has a function of agglutination and neutralization and found in mucous membrane secretions including milk? IgA
Among 5 classes of antibodies, which triggers release of histamines from basophils and mast cells and found in serum, mast cell surfaces? IgE
Among 5 classes of antibodies, which induces complement activation, agglutination, opsonization, and neutralization and crosses placenta to protect fetus? It is found in serum or intercelluar fluid. IgG
Among 5 classes of antibodies, which induces complement activation, agglutination, and neutralization and takes its form in pentamer and found in serum? IgM
________ is an antibody that remains associated with the cytoplasmic membrane of a B-cell. BCR
Each B lymphocyte has multiple copies of a single type of ________. BCR
Each BCR is complementary to ______ __________. only one antigenic determinant
Body "edits" lymphocytes to eliminate any self-reactive cells to prevent antibody attacking normal self antigen. This is called __________. clonal deletion
___________ make up the majority of cells produced during B cell proliferation and secrete only antibody molecules complementary to the specific antigenic determinant. They are short-lived cells, but their antibodies and progeny can persist. Plasma cells
Each plasma cell secretes only antibody molecules complementary to the specific antigenic determinant, which is achieved by a precise genetic mechanism known as _____________. clonal selection
Lymphocytes use 500 genes to produce a tremendous variety of specific receptors while cloning. This theory is called clonal selection theory
____________ are produced by B cell proliferation and do not secrete antibodies. They are long-lived and available for secondary(anamnestic)response. memory B-cell
What is called the response after first exposure to an antigen? primary response
the highest dilution of Ab that can bind to particulate Ag and cause agglutination is called _______. Titer
At primary response, immune system produces ________ and a gradual increase in titer with the production of _________. IgM, IgG
What is called the response after second contact with the same antigen? secondary response(anamnestic response)
At secondary response, immune system produces a more rapid, stronger response by ________ due to memory cells. IgG
what is called that antibodies with genetic differences in the constant regions of their heavy and light chains of same class? allotype
What is called that antibodies with genetic differences in the variable regions of their heavy and light chains of same class of antibody? idiotype
Which antibody determines ABO blood groups? IgM
Which antibody determines Rh blood groups? IgG
Which antibody difference between mother and fetus can lead to HDN, and why? IgG. Because IgG is monomer and can cross placenta while IgM cannot cross placenta.
IgM is an ____________ which occur naturally in the body and react against incompatible RBC antigens. isohemagglutinin
