1
Q

Humoral immunity

A

Immunity associated with formation of antibodies produced by plasma cells.

2
Q

Cell-mediated immunity

A

Immunity associated with population of sensitized lymphocytes.

3
Q

______ immunity is associated with the production of antibodies, soluble proteins of the immunoglobulin class. Antibodies circulate in the blood and body fluids and function by binding to and eliminating foreign material

A

Humoral

4
Q

B lymphosites are made in

A

the bone

5
Q

A lymphocyte that differentiates into plasma cells and is associated with humoral immunity

A

B lymphocyte

6
Q

Lymphocyte binding strength is random in many ways because

A

the ones strong enough to bind to our own HLA self destruct to prevent autoimmune disease, while the ones that can’t bind to anything self destruct. What’s left is the middle that can bind with a wide variety of antigens.

7
Q

Type 1 T cells effect

A

CD8+ = cytoxic

These effect viral cells and potentially cancer

8
Q

Type 2 T cells effect

A

CD4+ = Thelper

9
Q

Thelper 1 cells

A

mediate inflammation via the secretion of a number of pro-inflammatory cytokines, protect against intracellular pathogens, and play a role in the production of delayed hypersensitive reactions

10
Q

Thelper 2 cells

A

They provide aid for humoral Bcell mediated immunity and antibody production

11
Q

Natural killer (NK) cells

A

part of the innate immune system, but functions are regulated by the adaptive immune system. They make up 10% of circulating lymphocytes.

12
Q

Bcells gives rise to

A

plasma cells which secrete antigens

13
Q

Memory bcells are created

A

after second exposure to antigen

14
Q

Memory b cells make ____ cells faster then the first time

A

plasma cells

15
Q

Interferons are a type of ____ and act as a broud spectrum ____ ____

A

Cytokine

antiviral agent

16
Q

Any chemical messenger that takes part in any function of the immune system:

A

Cytokines
