Elements of Innate and Acquired Immunity; Immunogens and Antigens

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
What is the term for the primitive form of immunity that provides immediate defense against an infection by recognizing generic factors on a pathogen?   Innate Immunity  
🗑
What form of immunity is highly specialized and has memory for the pathogen for the future?   Acquired or adaptive immunity  
🗑
What cells are apart of the innate immune system?   natural killer cells, mast cells, basophils and eosinophils, phagocytes, and antigen presenting cells  
🗑
What cells are apart of the acquired or adaptive immune system?   helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, B cells, memory cells  
🗑
What immune cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity?   Cytotoxic T cells, with activation by the Helper T cells (which were activated by antigen presenting cells)  
🗑
What cells are involved with humoral immunity?   B cells, which term into plasma cells (and B cells are activated by helper T cells, which were activated by antigen presenting cells)  
🗑
What happens when you get natural active immunity?   Infection causes CMI or antibody-mediated immunity and memory vs. future infections  
🗑
What happens when you get artificial active immunity?   Vaccination (small dose of antigen to activate adaptive immune system)  
🗑
What is the difference between natural and artificial passive immunity?   natural: get antibodies through placenta or breastmilk - artificial: get antibodies through anti-serum which is administration of antibodies  
🗑
What is the difference between an antigen and immunogen?   antigen is any substance that can prompt an immune response (self or non-self) - immunogen is an antigen that is foreign  
🗑
What are the two primary immune organs?   bone marrow and thymus  
🗑
What is the desired positive selection in regards to thymus schooling? What is the desired negative selection?   1) Positive selection – T cell responds to foreign antigen with high affinity 2) Negative selection – T cell does not respond to self antigens.  
🗑
What immune cells are schooled in the thymus?   T cells only  
🗑
How are T cells distinguished from other B cells or NK cells?   they have a T cell receptor (TCR) on their cell surface  
🗑
What specific protein do Helper T cells have on their cell surface?   CD4 protein  
🗑
What specific protein do Cytotoxic T cells have on their cell surface?   CD8 protein  
🗑
What cells shut down the CMI towards the end of an immune reaction and suppress autoreactive T cells?   Regulatory T cells (Tregs)  
🗑
Th1 Helper T lymphocytes stimulates what cell?   cytotoxic T cells  
🗑
Th2 Helper T lymphocytes stimulates what cell?   B cells  
🗑
What are the two main functions of B cells?   Make antibodies and serve as an antigen presenting cell  
🗑
What do antigen presenting cells do?   They phagocytose pathogens, break up their antigens, display them on their cell surface receptors, and present them to helper T cells.  
🗑
What are the three main types of APCs?   Dendritic cells, Macrophages, and B cells  
🗑
What are the six main ways the skin is a natural barrier to infection?   1) Stratified Squamous epithelium flaking off, 2) Higher salt concentration (antiseptic), 3) Sebaceous glands secrete acidic sebum, 4) Commensal bacteria prevent pathogen growth, 5) Lower temperature on skin, 6) APCs on skin surface to sample environment  
🗑
List the leukocytes.   NK Cells, Mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells  
🗑
Does the helper T cell become a Th1 or Th2 cell for an intracellular antigen? extracellular antigen?   Th1 cell for intracellular antigen, Th2 cell for extracellular antigen  
🗑
What cell makes antibodies?   plasma cells  
🗑


   

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.
