| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Antigens are: | Anything that provokes an immune response. |
| Incomplete Antigens must be: | Immunogenic (cause creations of antibodies)and Reactive (interact with lymphocytes and antibodies) |
| Incomplete Antigens (Haptens) are: | Small molecules that are not usually immunogenic. Cause hypersensitivities. |
| Self-Antigens are: | Not antigenic to self, but highly antigenic to others (as in organ transplants). |
| MHC protiens are displayed for what reason: | to differentiate between self and non self |
| Class I MHC protiens are found where: | displayed on all cells of the body, except when taken over by microbes |
| Class II MHC protiens display: | both self and pathogen protiens on Antigen Presenting Cells |
| The purpose of Class II MHC Protiens is to: | Bring captured pathogens to lyphoid organs so T-cells may be activated |
| Lyphocytes orginate in what color bone marrow: | red. |
| Lymphocytes that become T-cells are sent 'here'/ B lymphocytes remain 'here'. | Thymus/Bone Marrow |
| Three types of Antigen Presenting Cells: | Dendritic, Macrophages and B lymphocytes |
| Two Branches of the Adaptive Immune System | Cell mediated Immunity, and Humoral Immunity |
