antiG that INDUCES an immure response
Immunogen
molecule that BINDS to and is RECOGNIZED by an antibody or T cell
AntiG
Type of antiBs Passive immune system receives
Receiving PREFORMED antiB
RAPID protection: passive or active
Passive
Duration of passive antiB’s
SHORT duration—half life about 3 wks
Where can we get passive immunity?
IgA in breast milk or humanized antB
EXPOSED to foreign antiG
Active immunity
Slow or fast protection for active immunity
SLOW protection
Duration of active immunity
Long duration→ d/t memory lymphocytes
What causes active immunity?
Natural infection, vaccine
Toll like receptors or Nod-like receptors are what type?
Innate receptors
= Pattern Recognition Receptors
Innate
Innate receptor diversity:
-Limited diversity, non-clonal expression—meaning very little genetic diversity with simular recognition patterns
Adaptive receptors are:
Antigen Receptors
Type of Adaptive receptors
- T Cell ReCeptors (TCR)
- B Cell Receptors (BCR)
- Somatic recombination → DIVERSITY and clonal
Does the innate system have memory cells?
no
Type of immune cells adaptive immunity express?
clones of lymphocytes remain in body and will recognise and respond to antG more rapidly then first exposure
Type of vaccine:
PROS: strong/life long
CONS: may revert to virulent form
LIve Attenuated
Micro-org is modified—decreases pathogeniticy and see limited growth post injection
Induces: Cellular response= T Cells
Live Attenuated Vaccine
Path is Inactivated (heat/chemically) but retains IMMUNOLOGIC EPITOPE on surface
Inactivated Vaccine
What type of response does inactivated vaccine induce?
Induces: Humoral Response = B Cells
Pros/Cons of inactivated vaccine
Pros: Stable and safer then live
CONS: weaker immunity—need a booster
