🗑
Fab   section of immunoglobulin molecule that react with the antigen. Determine specificity of the Ig.  
🗑
Fc portion   site that binds to host tissues  
🗑
5 classes of antibodies   IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, IgD  
🗑
IgG   most abundant 85%, secondary resp, cross placenta, activates the classical complement pathway, small monomer molecule, long term immunity  
🗑
IgM   about 10% in serum, first antibody on site, primary & secondary resp., activates classical complement pathway, LG pentameter molecule  
🗑
IgA   hangs around IgM & IgG, helps antigen clearance and immune regulation, inhibits IgG in complement activation, activates alternative pathway  
🗑
IgE   allergic reactions, type 1 hypersensitivity reaction  
🗑
IgD   short 1/2 life 2-3 days, found on surface of cell membrane of B lymphs  
🗑
Natural immunity   innate immunity & Non-adaptive/non-specific  
🗑
Innate immunity   ability to resist infection by means normally present in body  
🗑
non-adaptive/non-specific   same for all pathogens, no specificity, no prior exp., resp. does not change  
🗑
role of innate immunity   recognition, phagocytosis, and inflammation  
🗑
Adaptive immunity   specific or acquired immunity, inv. production of antibodies by B lymphs and plasma cells, increased response upon repeated exposure  
🗑
What type of immunity has memory   adaptive immunity  
🗑
Cellular adaptive immunity targets what cells   infected cells, tumor cells, and non self cells  
🗑
What are the basic steps of the Immune system   inflammation, phagocytosis, antibody response, effector T-lymphocytes, removal of dying cells  
🗑
Primary response   response that occurs after a harmful antigen has been encountered for the first time  
🗑
secondary response   much quicker & more effective response that occurs after previous exposure  
🗑
Igm response 4 stages   lag phase, log phase, plateau phase, decline phase  
🗑
cellular immunity   cell mediated, direct cell to cell contact or soluble products secreted by cells, defense against viral and fungal infect.  
🗑
T-helper cells   key messengers, play major role in resp.  
🗑
humoral immunity   antibody mediated, associated with B cells, antibodies in serum  
🗑
Primary defense against bacterial infections   humoral immunity  
🗑
Paul Ehrlich   lock & key concept  
🗑
Active immunity   developed by natural exposure to antigen  
🗑
artificially acquired active immunity   intentional exposure to an antigen (vaccination)  
🗑
Passive immunity   administration of preformed antibodies, produced by recipients cells  
🗑
Aims of vaccination   Induce memory in T and/or B lymphs through infection of a non virulent antigen prep.  
🗑
vaccination   produces active immunity, resp. is similar to natural infection, memory is long lived  
🗑
Cells of the innate immune system are   Granulocytes and mononuclear cells  
🗑
apoptosis   programmed cell death  
🗑
1st cells to site of infection   neutrophils  
🗑
Natural killer cells   kills cells infected with certain viruses and cancer cells, part of innate immunity  
🗑
Neutrophils   phagocytosis & killing of microorganisms  
🗑
Eosinophils   killing of antibody-coated parasites through release of granule contents  
🗑
basophils   unknown  
🗑
monocyte   circulating precursor cell to macrophage  
🗑
Macrophage   phagocytosis & killing of microorganisms. Activation of T cell & initiation of immune resp.  
🗑
Dendritic cell   activation of T cells and initiation of adaptive immune responses  
🗑
mast cell   expulsion of parasites from body through release of granules containing histamine & other active agents  
🗑
Phagocytosis   cells that eat cells, most important function of innate defense system  
🗑
Opsonins   serum factors in the blood were formed in response to exposure to foreign substances  
🗑
Stages of Phagocytosis   chemotaxis, adherence, engulfment, phagosome formation & fusion, phagolysosome formation, digestion & destruction  
🗑
Inflammation   The body's response to injury or invasion by a pathogen  
🗑
What happens during inflammation   blood supply to infected area, inc capillary permeability, migration of WBC from capillaries to surrounding tissue, migration of macrophages to injured area  
🗑
Inflammatory response   rubor, calor, edema, dolor  
🗑
A phagolysosome is formed when   cytoplasmic granules fuse with the phagosome  
🗑
MHC   is a gene region located on chromosome 6, found on all nucleated cells  
🗑
lymphocytes of adaptive immunity   function cooperatively in cell-mediated or humoral immunity
