Term
Definition
Immunocompetence   ability of the body to react with countless foreign substances  
🗑
Antigens   foreign molecules that stimulate an immune response from B and T cells  
🗑
Specificity and Memory   2 features that characterize the specific immune response  
🗑
Specific Immunity   development and differentiation, antigen presentation, challenge of B and T cells by antigens, T lymphocyte response  
🗑
B Cells   mature in bone marrow  
🗑
T Cells   mature in thymus  
🗑
When Pathogens Cross The First Line Of Defense   macrophages migrate to site, pathogen ingested causing inflammatory response, antigen presented to T and B cells  
🗑
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)   one set of genes codes for human cell markers or receptors  
🗑
Class 1 Genes   code for markers on all nucleated cells, displays self, allow recognition of immune reactions  
🗑
Class 2 Genes   code for immune regulatory markers found on macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells involved in presentation to T cells  
🗑
T Cell   challenged with Ag, proliferate, and differentiate, and respond through an MHC molecule  
🗑
Memory T Cells   remember prior antigens  
🗑
Helper T Cells (CD4)   activate macrophages, assist B-Cell processes, and help activate cytotoxic T cells. use 2 MHC  
🗑
Cytotoxic T Cells (CD8)   lead to destruction of infected host cells and other foreign cells. use 1 MHC  
🗑
Regulatory T Cells (Tregs)   control T cell response  
🗑
MHC   required for T cell activation  
🗑
Immunoglobulin   means antibody when secreted, serve as antigen receptors of B cells  
🗑
Antigen Binding Sites   pockets in the end of the molecules fork highly variable in shape to fit a wide range of antigens  
🗑
Variable Regions   areas of extreme versatility from one clone to another  
🗑
Diversity   rearrangement of gene segments that code for antigen receptors on T and B cells  
🗑
Clonal Selection   mechanism by which the correct B or T cell is activated by incoming antigen  
🗑
Lymphocyte Specificity   preprogrammed, existing in genetic makeup before antigen has ever entered the tissue  
🗑
Clonal Expansion   rapid multiplication of B or T cell clones after activation by an antigen  
🗑
Haptens   small foreign molecules too small by themselves to elicit an immune response  
🗑
Alloantigen's   cell surface markers and molecules that occur in some members of the same species, but not in others  
🗑
Superantigen's   potent toxins that stimulate T cells, activate T cells at a rate of 100 times greater than ordinary signals  
🗑
Antigen Presenting Cells (APC's)   formally presented to lymphocytes, 3 types: macrophages, B cells, and dendritic cells  
🗑
T Cell Reactions   tell others what to do in immune system  
🗑
CD4 T Cells   critical in regulating immune reactions to antigens  
🗑
CD8 T Cells   kill infected cells  
🗑
Lack Specificity For Antigens   the first killer cells to attack cancer cells and virus infected cells, rogue don't need to be told what to do  
🗑
Activated B Cell   becomes a plasma cell and starts secreting antibodies  
🗑
Colostrum   the very earliest secretion during breast feeding, contains a high amount of IgA  
🗑
Titer   a concentration of antibodies  
🗑
Natural Immunity   immunity acquired through the normal biological experiences of an individual  
🗑
Artificial Immunity   protection from infection obtained through medical procedures such as vaccines and immune serum  
🗑
Active Immunity   receives immune stimulus that activates B and T cells to produce substances such as antibodies  
🗑
Passive Immunity   receives antibodies from another human or animal  
🗑
Vaccine   any immunity obtained by inoculation with selected antigens  
🗑
Whole Cell Or Virus Vaccines   live, attenuated cells or viruses, killed cells or inactivated viruses  
🗑
Conjugated Vaccines   subunits conjugated with proteins to make them more immunogenic  
🗑
DNA Vaccines   microbial DNA is inserted into a plasmid vector and inoculated into a recipient  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
