Q

Innate Immunity Characteristics

A

A non-specific protection you are born with that does not target a specific antigen, immediate, maximal response, does not lead to “immunological memory”

Q

Types of Innate Immunity Charcteristics

A

Skin (physical barrier), chemical barrier -pH 3-5, Mucous, fever (whole body response), inflammation, vasolidation, capillary permeability increased, increased fluids=swelling,

Leucocytes

A

group of cells involved in specific/adaptive/acquired immunity. bloodstream is only a subway, travel for short time to do their work for infections.

Q

Monocytes

A

moving into tissue
they become macrophages that
continue phagocytosis there that
neutrophils began
macrophage ingesting and digesting a pathogen
macrophages also mop up/heal by eating
dead cells

Q

Lymph System 2 function

Study These Flashcards
A

Defense:
B lymphocytes (B cells) are produced in bone marrow
- after maturing they move out to begin patrolling
- T lymphocytes (T cells) are produced in bone marrow also
- but they go to the thymus to mature before beginning to patrol
* Lymphocyte production:

17
Q

Types of Lymphocytes. (B cells)

Study These Flashcards
A

a principal cell of antibody-mediated immunity
- primary function is to make antibodies against antigens
- later provides immunity as memory B cells

18
Q

T lymphocytes (T cells)

Study These Flashcards
A
  • a principal cell of cell-mediated immunity
  • primary function is to kill virus-infected or tumor cells
  • later provides immunity as memory T cells
    2a) Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (Tc cells or Cytotoxic T cells)
    2b) Helper T lymphocytes (TH cells or Helper T cells)
  • aids antibody-mediated immunity (and cell-mediated immunity)
19
Q

Natural Killer cells

Study These Flashcards
A

also one of the parts of the nonspecific or innate immunity system

20
Q

Antigen

Study These Flashcards
A

any substance stimulating an immune response

21
Q

Antibody

Study These Flashcards
A

a y shaped protein in the globulin protein family, involved in an immune response (immunoglobulins)

22
Q

Immobilization

Study These Flashcards
A

as antibody binds to the surface of a bacterial
cell the bacterium is prevented from
moving where it can cause harm

23
Q

neutralization

Study These Flashcards
A

antibody binding to the surface of a toxin or
a virus prevents it’s operations from harming the body

24
Q

agglutination

Study These Flashcards
A

ab immobilizes pathogens by clumping them
together as it binds to the surface of more than one

25
opsonization
after ab binds to an ag surface it attracts/signals a phagocyte that ingests the ag/ab complex
26
Antibody
a protein produced by the immune system of vertebrates to detect and destroy invaders of the body
27
Cytokines
a protein messenger molecule, it can activate a response by the same cell that made it, ex. interleukin, interferon or it can activate a different cell that is either close by or farther away cytokines cytokines
28
Specific Immunity
A. Characteristics B. Leucocytes 1. Phagocytes – eating 2. Lymphocytes – non-eating C. Molecules, other cells Ag, Ab, MHC, APC, Cytokines
29
Antibody functioning
immobilization, neutralization, agglutination, opsonization, activation of complement protein
30
Antibody-mediated Specific/Acquired/Adaptive Immunity
also known as “humoral” immunity/humoral response (= “fluid”) - its focus is on extracellular invaders, in fluids of the body (interstitial fluids/blood), versus the focus of cell-mediated immunity inside cells
31
Activation Phase of Antibody-mediated specific acquired adaptive immunity
ag enters the body and an APC is there to confront it, the APC phagocytizes and displays pieces of that specific ag on its surface with its MHC (flagpole) these APC cells migrate from the site where the ag was encountered to 2o lymphoid tissue (ex. lymph nodes) there the APCs encounter TH cells, and the APC’s cytokines activate TH cells = APC
32
Effector phase
these multiplied TH cells that are specific to the invading ag now encounter B cells specific to the invading ag and bind to them 2. Effector Phase b) these TH cells then release cytokines that trigger these B cells that are specific to the invading ag to clonally expand All of these B cells will be specific to the ag that has invaded the body because they bound to and were triggered to multiply by a TH cell specific to the invading ag specific to the invading ag B cell thatB cell that matches thismatches this TTHH cellcell some of these B cells remain in the body’s system as memory cells ab will be made quick enough to deal with the ag before symptoms develop = immunological memory
33
Activation Phase
when a body cell becomes infected by a virus, it puts some of the foreign virus protein (ag) on its surface using its MHC protein (flagpole), the same way that it puts its own “self” protein there
34
Blood Group Antigens (ABO blood types)
ab is present in the blood for all foreign rbc ag, ab interaction with foreign ag causes dangerous clotting, blood types are named for the ag clotting
35
Blood Type A
Antigen present A, Antibody present Anti B, Blood Type Accepted A, O
36
Blood Type B
Antigen present B, Antibody present Anti A, Blood type accepted B, O
37
AB universal recipient
Antigen present A and B, Antibody present none, Blood type accepted A, B, AB, O
38
O universal donor
antigen present none, antibody present anti a & anti b, blood type accepted o
39
Rh factor
another separate ab-ag system of the blood, ag is either present (Rh)+, or absent Rh - on rbc
