Immunology Test 3 Exam

QuestionAnswer
An adaptive response may not be triggered against every bacterial and viral infection. – True
Natural passive immunity generates strong memory response. – False
Th-1 is more effective than Th-2 in helminth infection. – False
The blood brain barrier can become more permeable during inflammation. – True
Example of natural passive immunity ___ mother to fetus
Example of fecal oral infection ___, Example of STI ___. Dysentery, Chlamydia
A person with septicemia is a ___ infection, a person with viremia has a ___ infection. Bacterial, viral
___ is an inflammatory molecule found on the surface of gram – bacteria. LPS
The expression of the MHC1 protein increases on ___. Cells of transplanted grafts
Which is or are elevated during parasitic infections ___. serum IgE and Eosinophiles
Important in immune response to bacteria – B-cells, Ab, Macrophages (extracellular),CD8 and NK (intracellular), Compliment with MAC, Cytokines, TLR’s on Macrophages and Dendritic cells with PAMPs like LPS
Immunopathologyis responsible for many of the signs and symptoms of viral infection – True
The less severe form of leprosy, the tuberculoid form, results from poor or absent T cell response. – False
Most human viruses enter the host cell with receptor mediated endocytosis or fusion of the endonucleus with the cell membrane – True
Dendritic cells are the best APC for extracellular bacterial pathogens, B cells are best APC for bacterial toxins. – True
Candida – opportunistic yeast infection
Chlamydia – Poor memory response due to IgA, STI
C. botulinum – causes flaccid paralysis, anti-wrinkle toxin
C. difficile – Spores not deactivated by hand gel sanitizer
C. Tetani – involves invasive neurotoxin, deep puncture wound
Cornynebac Diphtheriea – Causes throat infection, inhibits protein synthesis
E. coli – some strains involve shiga-like toxin, do not use antibiotics
H. pylori – stomach ulcers and cancer
N. fowlerii – makes a nest in the brain cavity, hard to treat
S. Aureus - contains super antigen, can produce cytokine storm
S. pneumonia – contains a capsule so it cannot be phagocytized
S. pyogenies – can cause necrotizing fasciitis
Most childhood vaccinations are not? – Theraputic
Important in immune response to viruses from 1-4 1. IFN 2. CD8 3. Neutralizing Ab 4. Compliment
Is present in cancer patients, but does not assist in getting rid of tumors – Macrophages
Cancer patients have large amounts of one type of epitope with specific Ab – Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Inactivated vaccine usually generate a better memory response than attenuated vaccines – False
The HPV and HBV vaccines are usually prophylactic – True
Plasmid DNA vaccines are more stable than conjugate vaccines – True
Some historical preparation of MMR vaccines have been defective – True
Name the two antigens of Influenze and what they do – Neuraminidase and Hemogglutinase
Difference between drift and shift – drift point mutation
Write type of vaccine and example 1. Unaltered – vaccinia 2. Attenuated – Influenza 3. Killed – Polio 4. Purified/Conjugate – Influenza 5. Recombinant – Hep B 6. DNA vaccine – Bird Flu
Most important in developing tolerance – T-reg
Tolerance to foreign antigen is easier to attain in newborns than in adults – True
Transplant patient cannot build tolerance to transplant and must be on immune suppressors for life – False
Exposure to high amounts of antigen over time can generate tolerance – True
Trophoblast and the uterus of pregnant woman contain IL10, IL4, TGFβ to suppress Th1 cells – True
Why is it not common practice to vaccinate newborn infants? May reactivate and give disease
Most tumors result from single point mutations – False
Most established tumors contain infiltrates of lymphocytes and other leukocytes. – True
Tumor cells often express low adhesion molecules B7.1, B7.2, so they are poor APCs – True
NK cells are effective in regression of established tumors – False
___ are more effective than ___ in killing tumor cells low in MHC1 expression. NK cells, CD8 TC cells
___ reaction can occur if mature immunocompetent cell transplanted with organs or grafts. Graft vs Host
___ is an immunosuppressant to treat transplant patients. Cyclosporin
A TH 1 cell dominated response would be more effective than TH2 cell in the helminth cells. FALSE
Natural passive immunity is passed from placenta to baby (that was my answer)
___ is fecal oral infection and ___ ___ is STI. Dyesntry, neisserie gonorrhea
Septicemia is systemic ___ ___infection and viremia is systemic ___ infection. gram – negative bacteria, viral
LPS LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE – is an inflammatory molecule found on gram negative bacteria.
Expression of MHC 1 increases on cells that are on transplanted graft cells.
____ and ____ are elevated in parasitic infection. Serum IgE and eosinophils
Less severe form of leprosy tuberculoid form results from poor or absent t cells. False
Present in cancer patients but not effective in eliminating cancer antibodies to tumor antigen.
Serum of person has large amounts of one type of epitope specific antibody multiple myeloma
HPV and Hep B vaccines may prove to be prophylactic cancer vaccines. False
Allograft - typical human transplant
Autograft - typical for human skin transplant
Carcinogen - agent that transforms cell into cancer cells.
CEA - retrogenic tumor associated to colon
HER 2 - breast cancer
Heperacute - rejection if recipient has Ab at the time of surgery
LAK - activated NK cells exposed to IL2
Langerhan cells - effective APC for skin graft
Oncogene - codes for protein involved in cell division
P53 - protein absent in tumor cells
Passenger cell - shed by transplanted tissue
PSA - concentration monitored in men with prostrate
Virokine - viral protein interfering cytokine signals.
Xenograft - pigs genetically altered
All transplant recipient must take immunosuppressant’s medication for the rest of their lives. False
___ is important for tolerance. Treg Cells
Most tumor cells transformed as a result of single mutation. False
