Q

example of a PRR that recognizes LPS

18
Q

innate cell gets triggered and leads to the production of inflammatory cytokines

A

IL-1, IL-6 and TNF

19
Q

fever caused by cytokines?

20
Q

host defenses mediated by the clonal expansion and differentiation of antigen-specific lymphocytes

A

adaptive immunity

21
Q

requires sensitization by antigen

A

adaptive immunity

22
Q

develops over days/weeks

A

adaptive immunity

23
Q

mediated by antigen-specific antibosies and produced by activated B cells

A

humoral immunity

24
Q

antibodies can be transferred to non-immune recipients by immune serum

25
adaptive immune response primarily involving antigen-specific T-lymphocytes
cell-mediated
26
first immune response to antibody
primary antibody response
27
increase in response to antibody due to memory
secondary antibody response
28
results in the expansion of antigen specific B and T cells clones
clonal selection
29
each specific lymphocyte is
specific for one antigen
30
if the antigen is exposed to B cell it will go through clonal selection leading to proliferation and producing
Clone of memory B cells and clone of plasma cells that secrete antibodies
31
antibody response are
polyclonal
32
the shape that the antibody recognizes and bind we call the
epitope
33
- bone marrow | - thymus
primary lymphoid organs
34
- adenoid - tonsil - lymph nodes - spleen - peyer's patches
secondary lymphoid organs
35
we have antigen-specific receptors for everything even if we have not been exposed of it?
YES!!
36
H-chains
heavy chains
37
L-chains
light chains
38
For a particular antibody, the H-chains are _______ and the L-chains are _______
identical for both!
39
N-terminal is
variable
40
C-terminal is
constant
