4)No cavities
5)Require high vitamin B and K since commensels produce this

190
Branches of the vertebrate immune system
1)Humoral->antibodies are secreted by B-lymphocytes
2)Cell mediated-> Cytokines are secreted by T-lymphocytes
191
E-cadherin
Intercellular junction protein
192
Disease caused by Francisella tularensis
Causes tularemia a disease which causes flu like symptoms and skin lesions after 2-10 days
193
tailors its attack to a specific antigen that was previously encountered. Its hallmarks are its ability to learn, adapt, and remember.
Specific immunity
194
Salmonella
host endosomal vesicles are associated with Salmonella effectors. Effector-positive vesicles continuously fuse with SCV and SIF membranes, providing a route of effector delivery by translocation, interaction with endosomal vesicles, and ultimately fusion with the continuum of SCV/SIF membranes
195
a type of virus that inserts a DNA copy of its RNA genome into the DNA of a host cell that it invades, thus changing the genome of that cell.
Retrovirus
196
Sources of undifferentiated lymphocytes
Bone marrow
197
Virus vs Virion
Virus:Replicated intracellular form
Virion:Extracellular infections particle
198
Limits on host range for a virus
1)Limited by the specific receptors available on the host cell
2)Non permissible for viral replication
199
How do you grow a virus in lab?
1)Embryonic chicken eggs are injected with virus
2)Cell culture mono layer derived from a specific cell type
200
An antibody generator known as an immunogen that is a foreign molecule that will elicit antibody production
Antigen
201
Primary vs secondary response of immune system
1)Primary has longer latent period allowing for full life time to occur
2)IgM response is less in the secondary response but IgG and total antibodies is significantly higher
3)Log phase is significantly steeper
4)Plateau phase is longer
202
a system used to classify viruses based on their manner of messenger RNA (mRNA) synthesis.
Baltimore virus system
203
Route of infection for listeria
1)Bacteria is ingested
2)Transported to intestine and crosses the intestinal barrier
3)Enters lymphatic system into the blood
4)infects and replicates in the spleen and liver
5)Jumps back into the blood stream and moves to the brain or placenta
204
a group of amino acids or other chemical groups exposed on the surface of a molecule, frequently a protein, which can generate an antigenic response and bind antibody.
Epitote
205
Features of IgE, ε
0.0005% of serum antibodies, last 2 days in the blood, binds to mast cells and activates them as well as fights parasites and worms by increasing gut motility
206
A general term used to indicate any soluble protein or glycoprotein release by 1 cell population that acts as an inter cellular mediator or signalling molecule.
Cytokines
207
Features of IgA, α
10% of serum antibodies, 6 days in the blood, secretion at mucous surfaces
208
Examples of physical barriers
1)Lactoferrin: an iron-binding glycoprotein found in human and bovine milk that has powerful immune boosting effect
2)Mucus associated lymphioid tissue(MALT) found in but and urogenic tracts
3)Mucocilliary elevator, traps microbes larger than 10um in hair and cillia
4)Mucocilliary blanket, traps microbes less than 10um in the lower respiratory system
209
Viral envelope
A lipid bi layer that surrounds the nucleocapsid derived from the host plasma membrane, ER, or golgi
210
Category A bioterrosim agents
Easily disseminated or transmitted person to person with high mortality rate, potential for major health impacts, causes public panic and social disruption and requires action for public prepardness
211
Nonspecific barriers to potential pathogens
1)Physical barriers
2)Chemical barriers
3)Phagocyotisis
212
Mast cell
Cell packed with histamines and other pharmacologically active substances
213
Purpouse of Diarrhea for pathogens
Spreads the virus into the enviroment
214
DNA sequence that contains 1 or more strucutral genes that encode for the regulation of a gene
Operon
215
A type of granular white cell
Lymphocytes
