Q

Innate Immune Response.

antigen specific?

A 
Is not antigen specific.
Instead, recognizes “Pathogenassociated molecular patterns” (PAMPs)
that are shared by many different
microbes, and Damage-associated
molecular patterns (DAMPs).

20
Q

Adaptive Immune Response.

responses (2)

A

humoral response

cell mediated response

21
Q

Humoral response (1)

A

..Antibodies produced by B cells

22
Q

Cell-mediated response (2)

A

..Cytotoxic T cells (CTLs)

..Helper T cells

23
Q

Adaptive Immune Response.

time frame?

A

days/weeks before it is effective

24
Q

Adaptive Immune Response.

antigen specific?

A

Is highly antigen-specific.
Recognizes specific epitopes on
specific proteins of specific pathogens.

25
Q 
Adaptive Immune Response.
Functional genes encoding antigen
receptors are not present in the germ
line.
Instead,
A

functional antigen receptor genes are
generated by somatic recombination and
mutation of germ line genes during maturation
of B cells and T cells (prior to exposure to any
antigens)

26
Q

Adaptive Immune Response.

colonal selection?

A

Clonal selection and proliferation of B
and T lymphocytes specific for particular
antigens following exposure to those
antigens.

27
Q

Adaptive Immune Response.

self?

A

nonreactive

28
Q

Adaptive Immune Response.

memory?

A
  • Gives rise to immunologic “memory.”
29
Q

specificity

A

ensures that distinct antigens elict specific responses

30
Q

diversity

A

enables immune system to respond to a large variety of antigens

31
Q

memory

A

leads to enhanced responses to repeated exposures to the same antigens

32
Q

clonal expansion

A

increases number of antigen specific lymphocytes from a small number of naive lymphocytes

33
Q

specialization

A

generates responses that are optimal for defense against different types of microbes

34
Q

contraction and homeostasis

A

allows immune system to respond to newly encountered antigens

35
Q

nonreactivity to self

A

prevents injury to the host during responses to foreign antigens

36
Q

specific recognition of antigens

b lymphocytes

A

mediators of humoral immunity

37
Q

specific recognition of antigens

t lymphocytes

A

mediators of cell mediated immunity

38
Q

dendritic cells

A

initiation of t cell responses

39
Q

capture of antigens for display to lymphocytes

macrophages

A

effector phase of cell mediated immunity

40
Q

capture of antigens for display to lymphocytes

follicular dendritic cells

A

display of antigens to B lymphocytes in humoral immune responses

41
Q

elimination of antigens

t lymphocytes

A

activation of phagocytes, killing infected cells

42
Q

elimination of antigens

macrophages

A

phagocytosis and killing microbes

43
Q

elimination of antigens

granulocytes

A

killing microbes

44
Q

After lymphocytes activated by antigen, B & T cells migrate towards each other & meet at edge of follicle.
There,

A

helper T cells interact with and help B cells differentiate into antibody producing cells.

45
Q

overview

Early innate immune response (3)

A

Innate defensive mechanisms to keep out microbes
If defensive barriers are crossed
inflammation
antiviral mechanisms

46
Q
