Question
Answer
specific immunity (adaptive/specific immunity)   Immune response to one molecule (antigen)  
🗑
Antigen (Ag)   Molecules that stimulate an immune response by B and T cells  
🗑
Classes of MHC - Class 2   Machrophages, dendritic cells, B cells -only on antigen presenting cells  
🗑
Classes of MHC - Class 2   Machrophages, dendritic cells, B cells -only on antigen presenting cells  
🗑
How does the immune system tell self from non self?   Clonal deletion - clones that react with self antigens in the bone marrow are eliminated  
🗑
TFH   T follicular helper cells - B cell differentiation  
🗑
T cytotoxic cell (Tc)   Binds and lyses infected cells and cancer cells CD8 receptor binds to MHCI  
🗑
B cell activation 2   Plasma cells - secrete antibodies  
🗑
Immunoglobulin structure   - Immunoglobulin (Ig) = antibody (Ab) - immunoglobulin has a variable end (unique for each Ig) that binds to the antigen  
🗑
Agglutination   Antibodies cross - link cells or particles into clumps - renders microbes immobile  
🗑
IgG   Only Ig to cross placenta  
🗑
IgM   First to be synthesized during primary immune response  
🗑
Secondary response   Re-exposure to the same immunogen (Anamnestic response) Antibody synthesis, titer, and length of antibody persistence is rapid and amplified  
🗑
Whole cell bacteria vaccines 1   Live attenuated: contain live organisms whose virulence has been lessened - these provide optimal immune response, but do not replicate and can be transferred to others  
🗑
acne   Follicle- associated lesion  
🗑
Impetigo   Caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes or a mixture of both  
🗑
Gas Gangrene 1   Bacterial infection - Clostridium perfringens  
🗑
Chickenpox (varicella) and shingles (zoster)   Human Herpesvirus 3  
🗑
Reye's syndrome   Auto immune disease sometimes seen following chicken pox and influenza  
🗑
Measles (Rubeola)   Complications - subacute sclerosis panencephalitis (SSPE)  
🗑
Meningitis 1   Haemophilus influenzae  
🗑
Encephalitis   brain inflammation  
🗑
west nile virus   -arbovirus - Infects many mammals, birds and mosquitoes - Transmitted by mosquitoes - flu- like symptoms - With or without encephalitis, it may be fatal  
🗑
furious rabies   Agitation, disorientation, seizures, twitching, muscle spasms leading to hydrophobia (due to inability to swallow)  
🗑
tetanus   Toxin causes high acetylcholine levels, resulting in prolonged muscle contractions  
🗑
Acute endocarditis   Causative agents - most common is staphylococcus aureus  
🗑
Early symptom of Lyme disease...   Characteristic Bulls eye rash or lesion  
🗑
Lyme disease causative agent   Borrelia burgdorferi  
🗑
Mononucleosis   Primarily a viral infection - Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)  
🗑
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)   Kills infected helper T cells resulting in severe immunodeficiency  
🗑
HIV therapy   integrase inhibitors prevent virus from becoming lysogenic  
🗑
Complications of streptococcal infections if not treated rapidly with antibiotics...   Rheumatic fever  
🗑
scarlet fever   erythrogenic toxin produced by the phage - causes a rash  
🗑
Diphtheria   Bacterial infection ( Corynebacterium diphtheria) Exotoxin ( produced by lysogenic phage) - kills epithelial cells causing pseudo membrane (false)  
🗑
Pseudomembrane formation on tonsils or pharynx may cause...   Respiratory blockage resulting in death  
🗑
whooping cough   Bordetella pertussis (tussis = cough)  
🗑
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)   Causes colds in most people More serious respiratory tract symptoms in children and susceptible individuals  
🗑
antigenic shift   (rapid change) involves gene exchange, which encode for viral glycoproteins, between different influenza viruses, thereby the new virus is no longer recognized by the human host  
🗑
A tubercle in the lung is...   A granuloma consisting of a central core of TB bacteria inside an enlarged macrophage, and an outer wall of fibroblasts, lymphocytes, and neutrophils  
🗑
Mycoplasma pneumoniae   Walking pneumonia  
🗑
mumps   Classic gopher like swelling of the cheeks  
🗑
H=   flagellar antigen  
🗑
E. Coli 0157:H7   Serious manifestations - hemolytic uremic syndrome  
🗑
Acute diarrhea with vomiting (food poisoning) caused by...   Staphylococcus aureus and clostridium perfringens  
🗑
Hepatitis A   Inflammation of the liver  
🗑
Trichinells spiralis   Transmitted by eating contaminated meat ( pork and wild game are major sources)  
🗑
neisseria ghonorrhea   - May lead to infection of the fallopian tubes or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)  
🗑
Syphilis   Bacterial infection: Treponema pallidum  
🗑
After chancre...   secondary syphilis develops, in which a skin rash forms on the trunk, arms, palms, and soles (rash is infectious).  
🗑
Herpes simplex virus 2   Infection remains latent, as the virus remains hidden in nucleus of nerve cells  
🗑
Bakers yeast fungus...   Saccharomyces cerevisiae  
🗑
aerobic fermentation   - Sugars broken down to produce carbon dioxide and water - leavening (CO2 makes the bread rise)  
🗑
Liquors distill fermentation product to obtain...   higher alcohol contents  
🗑
dairy products   Lactobacillus and Streptococcus lactis ferment milk producing acid • Acid coagulates milk protein, producing - Curd - the coagulated solid - Whey - watery liquid remaining on surface  
🗑
Lactobacillus acidophilus is often added after pasteurization to..   Benefit digestion and help maintain normal biota of the intestines  
🗑
