Chapter 13 Flashcards
what are the two types of acquired immunity?
naturally acquired(passive and active) & artificially acquired (active and passive)
what are the examples of passive and active naturally acquired immunity?
Active- kid picks up smallpox from another kid(active b/c it’s stimulating the immune system
Passive- mother passes her antibodies to her child through breast-feeding
what are the examples of passive and active artificially acquired immunity?
active- antigens from vaccines stimulate the immune system
passive- bitten by a rabid animal
what kind of immunity does B cells aid in and where do they mature?
B cells aid in humoral immunity and they mature in the bone marrow
what kind of immunity does T cells aid in and where do they mature?
T cells aid in cell-mediated immunity, and they mature in the thymus
this gene is found in all nucleated cells (endogenous viral protein)
MHC1
this gene is found on macrophage/dendritic cells/B cells; antigen presenting cells; exogenous proteins
MHCII
CD8+T = Cytotoxic T cell recognizes
antigen from MHC1 complex
CD4+T cells = helper T cells recognizes
antigen from MHCII complex
How does the major histocompatibility complex work for MHC1?
an infected cell advertises to a cytotoxic T cell that it’s infected. T cell releases perforin, causing the cell to lyse.
How does the major histocompatibility complex work for MHC2?
infected cell advertises that it’s infected, Helper T cells come, recognize the fragments of the infected cell. This activates the B cells to release antibodies against the microbe. cell does not lyse.
this is referred to as antibody production by B cells
humoral immunity
this is referred to as the T cell response to foreign antigens
cell-mediated immunity
which two antibodies are on the surface of B cells?
IgM and IgD
this is the site on an antigen molecule to which an antibody molecule binds (epitope)
antigenic determinant
why can’t you mix up blood types?
you would get the antibodies that your body doesn’t need; therefore causing the cell to lyse.
these are markers that are in some members of a species but not in others
alloantigen
