Humoral Immunity Flashcards
(34 cards)
Effector Functions of Ig Classes

Most Abundant = IgG = workhorseIgD and IgE are rarest.
Immunity to fetus — IgG
IgM always expressed first
IgG expressed during memory response Mucosa is IgA
[Antibody] vs. Time After Immunization

IgM vs. IgG after First Exposure


IgG
Opsonization = IgG
Complement = IgM and IgG
Hypersensitivity = IgE FC Receptors = Mass Cells and Basophils express them
IgD

IgA = Respiratory tract
Anaphylaxis = IgE
IgG Convalescent patient
IgA is Breast feeding
Complement = IgG
Process of Opsonization?
Ig Class?

What Ig are involved in Opsonization?







Fraction of Adult Level of Serum Immunoglobulins

Affinity of IgM vs. IgG

Physiological Roles of Ag-Ab Interaction

Neutralization

FC Receptors

IgE Role in Allergies

Immediate Hypersensitivity

Antibody Isotype and Effector Functions

Affinity vs. Avidity

IgM vs. IgG Affinity vs. Avidity

Ag-Ab Complex Formation

Antibody Titer

What is the Antibody Titer?

This is a titer for 1:512
Elisa
Elisa Assay. You’re looking for antibody against organisms.
You coat the well with HIV protein.
Add Test Antiserum
