Q

Who’s the killer ? Helper T cells ( CD4+ ) or cytotoxic T cells ( CD8+ )?

A

Cytotoxic T cells ( CD8+ )

17
Q

If someone kills CD4+, what is going to happen with CD8+?

A

You start dying, cause you don’t have the “ commander in chief “

18
Q

What’s the most famous virus that kills helper T cells? And starts?

A

HIV
Starts AIDS

19
Q

Activation of a T cell requires Antigen/MHC complex +, a second signal that can only be given by a ?

A

Professional APC

20
Q

What are professional APC ( antigen presenting cell )? Examples (3)

A

Dendritic cells
B cells
Macrophages

21
Q

B cells and macrophages must be what and by what in order to be professional APCS?

A

Must be Activated
By antigens

22
Q

What does MHC mean?

A

Major histocompatability complex

23
Q

T cells must recognize antigens that contain and cell surface protein called marker ?

A

Yes
Major histocompatibility complex

24
Q

Are MHC molecules unique to each person?

25
Does the MHC molecules tell the body what are their cells and what isn’t?
Yes
26
T cells can ONLY see antigen when displayed with MHC molecules?
YES ONLY!
27
How does helper T cells help out Activation of B cells?
MHC class 2 Activate T cells proliferation & secretes cytokines Helper T cell activate Bcells
28
CTLS is?
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes
29
CD8+ recognize antigen presented in associated with what class?
MHC class 1
30
What does CD8+ produce?
Perforin
31
What does perforin do?
A chemical that Lyses cells
32
What is primary immune response?(4) ( encounter with what? What’s first, and follows and finally makes ?)
First encounter with specific antigen IGM is first to be produced IGG next Memory cells are made
33
What is secondary immune response? And is responsible for
Repeat encounter with the same antigen ( naturally or artificially ) is responsible for memory
34
What does the secondary immune response promote? (3)
- stimulation of memory cells - increased levels of IGG - response stronger, faster and more specific
35
Intensity of the antibody mediated immune response can be measured by the?
Antibody titer
36
What is antibody titer?
Amount of antibody in serum
