Intro Flashcards
Which form of immunity is this: protection is transferred from other source
Passive
Which form of immunity is this: body makes protection
Active
Different components may be specific for molecules produced
by different classes of microbes but do not react against
noninfectious foreign particles
Innate Immunity
this type of immunity enhances adaptive immune responses against infectious agents
Innate
In _____ type of immunity, reside underneath barrier to kill off microbes before we activate adaptive immunity.
Innate; phagocytes
This type of immunity is slower but more effective
Adaptive Immunity
These express receptors that specifically recognize
antigens produced by microbes as well as noninfectious molecules
Lymphocytes
What are the receptors on B cells?
Immunoglobulin reeceptor (Ig) (antibody) or surface antibody (ab) receptors
What are the receptors on T cells?
P cell receptors (PCRs)
What trap specific Ag receptors on their surface?
lymphocytes
What is the first line of defense in innate immunity?
epithelial barriers and specialized cells and natural antibiotics present in epithelia - these all function to block the entry of microbes
What is the responding lymphocyte in humoral immunity?
B cells
What is the responding lymphocyte in cell-mediated immunity?
T cells
What do B lymphocytes do in humoral immunity?
they eliminate the extracellular microbes?
What do T lymphocytes do in cell-mediated immunity?
they activate macrophages to destroy phagocytosed microbes or kill infected cells directly.
____________ recognize many different types of molecules/antigens
including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids
Antibodies
_________ recognize only proteins
T Cells
only antibody that can cross the placenta
IgG
antibody that confers passive immunity to breastfed infant
IgA
Which type of T cells activate phagocytes to destroy
microbes that have been ingested by the phagocytes
into intracellular vesicles
Helper T cells (CD4+)
Which type of T cells kill any type of host cells that are harboring infectious microbes in the cytoplasm?
Cytotoxic T cells (CD8+)
Which type of immunity is short term?
Passive
What is a naive individual?
one who hasn’t encountered an antigen yet
Which response (primary or secondary) is more rapid and larger ?
secondary
