Question

Interferon protiens

Answer 1

Enhances immune cell growth Secreted by cells infected by a virus Accomplish three dif things: Signals nearby cells to stop producing protein If an interferon lands on a pathogen it will destroy itself Activates white blood cells

Answer 2

Second line of defense Stimulates phagocytes

Answer 3

Iron binding protiens Proteins that bind iron molecules to prevent pathogens from getting to them

Answer 4

Composed of a series of protein cascades Inflammation Formation of the membrane attack complex Punches a hole in the cell membrane so the cytoplasm leaks leadining to the lysis and death of the invading cell

Answer 5

B cells and T cells Called into action by the phagocytes and cytokines in the second line of defense

Answer 6

Make antibodies

Answer 7

Mature B cells make antibodies much more quickly

Answer 8

Interact directly with all the cells of the body

Answer 9

Work with all the components to help them work

Answer 10

A unique recognizable movie file that a lymphocyte recognizes is called an integer

Answer 11

Use their own receptor to show off their captured and destroyed bacterial prey

Answer 12

These cells make antibodies which interact with the pathogens Can be activated by interacting directly with pathogen but don’t directly fight the pathogens

Answer 13

``` Individual cells hve their own MHC (class 1) If they are infected with a pathogen, foreign antigens might show up in the MHC class 1, if not, the resented peptides would all be self ``` Have an average cell Produce protiens Break those up Put them onto MHC class 1, and expose them to outside world If there is a virus then that’s also being presented because it’s also put onto MHC class 1 but usually it’s just broken down protien

Answer 14

Memory T and T effectors memory B and B effectors They live in the lymphatic tissue and Wsit there until we encounter the same pathogen B CELLS PRODUCE antibodies

Answer 15

Interact with antigen presented by an antigen presenting cell activates a B cell

Answer 16

T cells are educated during fetal and infant development The process which takes place in an organ called the thymus. This process removes T Cells that cannot recognize MHC molecules Are specific for and will react against self protiens Defects can lead to self reactive T cells that wage war on your own cells leads to autoimmune disease

Answer 17

Things can be foreign but not pathogenic ``` T cells have no way of telling the difference Like pollen (not pathogen but foreign to body so it reacts the same way as to a virus ```

Answer 18

Cytotoxic Helper T cells- help everyone perform better by releasing cytokines rhat help other immune cells They activate B cells

Answer 19

Can interact directly with pathogen during activation | They need help from T cells

Answer 20

To make more susseptible to phagocytosis

Answer 21

Found in blood majority of antibodies made by plasma cells

Answer 22

First form created by B cells | Found in blood

Answer 23

Found in mucus and breast milk, most common in whole body

Answer 24

Babies at birth and breastfed babies recieve antibodies from mom resulting in passive immunity

Answer 25

Exposure to antigen/pathogens, overly sterile environments that contribute to allergies and asthma, important both to get sick to build immunity as well as to become immuno logically tolerant agents in our environment

Answer 26

It is a stress hormone, dampened the immune system Reduces production of cytokines, both in age and acquired immune response is compromised, promotes apoptosis of lymphocytes Cortisol can be used to suppress the immune system when necessary for example hydrocortisone poison ivy
