What are the 2 types of specific defenses that the body has?
(1) antibody-mediated immune respones
(2) cell-mediated immune responses
Which specific defenses of the body is this:
defend primarily against antigens found traveling freely in intercellular and other body fluids
antibody-mediated immune respones
Which specific defenses of the body is this:
warriors are B cells (aka plasma cells)
antibody-mediated immune respones
Which specific defenses of the body is this:
weapons Y-shaped proteins called antibodies, neutralize and remove potential threats from the bod
antibody-mediated immune respones
Which specific defenses of the body is this:
protect against cellular pathogens or abnormal cells, including body cells that have become infected with viruses or other pathogens and cancer cells
cell-mediated immune responses
What is the difference between helper T cell (T cells), effector T cell(cytotoxic), and suppressor T cell?
helper T cell (T cells)-the “on” switch for both lines of immune response
effector T cell(cytotoxic)-Responsible for cell-mediated immune responses
suppressor T cell-The “off” switch for both lines of immune responses
Steps of the Adaptive Immune Response: Step 1: Threat Step 2: Detection Step 3: Alert Step 4: Alarm Step 5: Building specific defenses (colonial selection) Step 6: Defense Step 7: Continued surveillance Step 8: Withdrawal of forces
What happened during step 1?
foreign cell or molecule enters the body
Steps of the Adaptive Immune Response: Step 1: Threat Step 2: Detection Step 3: Alert Step 4: Alarm Step 5: Building specific defenses (colonial selection) Step 6: Defense Step 7: Continued surveillance Step 8: Withdrawal of forces
What happened during step 2?
macrophage detects foreign cell or molecule and engulfs it
Steps of the Adaptive Immune Response: Step 1: Threat Step 2: Detection Step 3: Alert Step 4: Alarm Step 5: Building specific defenses (colonial selection) Step 6: Defense Step 7: Continued surveillance Step 8: Withdrawal of forces
What happened during step 3?
- macrophage puts antigen from the pathogen on its surface and finds the helper T cell with correct receptors for that antigen
- macrophage presents antigen to the helper T cell
- macrophage alerts the helper T cell that there is an invader that “looks like” the antigen
- macrophage activates the helper T cell
the macrophage is an important type of ______-__________ _____ (___)
antigen-presenting cell (APC)
Steps of the Adaptive Immune Response: Step 1: Threat Step 2: Detection Step 3: Alert Step 4: Alarm Step 5: Building specific defenses (colonial selection) Step 6: Defense Step 7: Continued surveillance Step 8: Withdrawal of forces
What happened during step 4?
helper T cell activates both lines of defense to fight that specific antigen
Steps of the Adaptive Immune Response: Step 1: Threat Step 2: Detection Step 3: Alert Step 4: Alarm Step 5: Building specific defenses (colonial selection) Step 6: Defense Step 7: Continued surveillance Step 8: Withdrawal of forces
What happened during step 5?
antibody-mediated defense
cell-mediated defense
clonal selection
Steps of the Adaptive Immune Response: Step 1: Threat Step 2: Detection Step 3: Alert Step 4: Alarm Step 5: Building specific defenses (colonial selection) Step 6: Defense Step 7: Continued surveillance Step 8: Withdrawal of forces
What happened during step 6?
antibody-mediated defense
cell-mediated defense
plasma cells
antibodies
Steps of the Adaptive Immune Response: Step 1: Threat Step 2: Detection Step 3: Alert Step 4: Alarm Step 5: Building specific defenses (colonial selection) Step 6: Defense Step 7: Continued surveillance Step 8: Withdrawal of forces
What happened during step 7?
memory cells formed when helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, and B cells were activated remain to provide swift response if the antigen is detected again
Steps of the Adaptive Immune Response: Step 1: Threat Step 2: Detection Step 3: Alert Step 4: Alarm Step 5: Building specific defenses (colonial selection) Step 6: Defense Step 7: Continued surveillance Step 8: Withdrawal of forces
What happened during step 8?
once the antigen has been destroyed, suppressor T cells shut down the immune response to that antigen
What are antibodies?
Y-shaped proteins that recognize a specific antigen by its shape
What are antibodies?
Y-shaped proteins that recognize a specific antigen by its shape
Antibodies are also called ____________ (___)
immunoglobulins (Ig)
Antibodies are also called ____________ (___)
immunoglobulins (Ig)
What is the difference between active immunity and passive immunity?
active immunity- the body actively participates in forming memory cells to defend against a particular antigen
passive immunity- results when a person receives antibodies that were produced by another person or animal
______ ________ may occur when an antigen infects the body, or through vaccination
active immunity
a vaccination is also known as an ___________
immunization
True or False: passive immunity lasts a long time
False; passive immunity is short-lived
What are monoclonal antibodies?
identical antibodies that bind to a specific antigen
useful in research and in the diagnosis and treatment of disease
