Question
Answer
defenses against any pathogen   innate immunity  
🗑
induced resistance to a specific pathogen   adaptive immunity  
🗑
eliminates harmful B cells   clonal deletion  
🗑
T-cell immunity   cellular immunity  
🗑
T cells mature in the   thymus  
🗑
2 types of T cells   helper T cells, cytotoxic t cell  
🗑
antibodies (Ab) interact with epitopes, or _________   antigenic determinants in antigens (Ag)  
🗑
property of behaving as an antigen is _________   antigenicity  
🗑
antibody = globular protein called _______   immunoglobulin  
🗑
the number of antigen-binding sites determines _______   valence  
🗑
amount of Ab in serum   antibody titer  
🗑
results when a person is challenged with an antigen that stimulates production of antibodies; creates memory, takes time, and is lasting   active immunity  
🗑
preformed antibodies are donated to an individual; does not create memory, acts immediately, and is short term   passive immunity  
🗑
acquired as part of normal life experiences   natural immunity  
🗑
acquired through a medical procedure such as a vaccine   artificial immunity  
🗑
antibody/ b- cell immunity   humoral immunity  
🗑
b cells mature where   in bone marrow  
🗑
b cell receptors (recognize) what   bacteria  
🗑
t cells produce what   cytokines  
🗑
type of t cell that binds to proteins on cell surface to initiate phagocytosis   t helper cells  
🗑
type of t cell that produces toxins to kill infected cells   cytotoxic t cells  
🗑
toxins used to kill infected cells   perforin and granzyme  
🗑
roles of B cells?   -produce plasma cells to kill infection -produce memory cells  
🗑
how are b cells activated?   b cells bind to antigen  
🗑
function of plasma cells   produce antibodies, then flag t cells to kill bacteria  
🗑
good antigens are ______ & _______   proteins; polysaccharides  
🗑
tip of antigen is called what?   variable region  
🗑
the correct b cell is selected because it has correct antibody for specific antigen   clonal selection  
🗑
when b cells dont replicate because they dont have the correct antibody   clonal deletion  
🗑
the right b cells keep producing plasma cells (to kill off infection)   clonal expansion  
🗑
roles of T cells?   -produce cytokines -lyse target cells -recognize intracellular pathogens  
🗑
what properties give better antigenicity?   higher foreignness, bigger size, shape, accessibility  
🗑
are proteins or lipids more antigenic? why?   proteins; lots of structures (good antigens)  
🗑
difference between antigens and epitopes?   epitopes: antigenic determinants antigens: contain lots of epitopes  
🗑
how is a hapten different from an antigen?   hapten molecules are very small  
🗑
what is antibody valence?   # of antigen-binding sites  
🗑
what do antibodies look like?   a "Y"  
🗑
bivalence; makes up 80% of antibodies; most abundant; activates classical pathway   IgG antibody  
🗑
protective mechanisms of binding antibodies to antigens:   -agglutination -opsonization -neutralization -(antibody-dependent cell-mediated) cytotoxicity -activation of complement  
🗑
What is the difference of antibody titer between the primary and secondary immune responses?   -primary occurs after initial contact (have to produce antibodies) -secondary (use memory cells): higher titer *more antibodies built up/faster*  
🗑
During vaccination, why booster shots are needed?   -primary response doesn’t last as long as secondary response -losing streak is slow  
🗑
Which type of immunity, active or passive, lasts longer? Why?   Active immunity; stimulates production of antibodies (unlike passive)  
🗑
primary organs   Thymus & bone marrow  
🗑
secondary organs   Tonsils, spleen, lymph nodes  
🗑


   

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.
