1st Ab detected after primary infection
IgM
1st Ab detected after exposure to Ag
IgM
Ab best at agglutination and complement fixation
IgM
Enhance of phagocytosis by coating of foreign particles with serum proteins
opsonization
a cell that secretes Ab
B cell
involves interaction between soluble Ag and soluble Ab
precipitation
normal flora of the mouth
Viridans streptococci
increases in parasitic infections and allergies
eosinophils
defect in oxidative or respiratory burst
chronic granulomatous disease
true or false:
null cells are lymphocytes
true
B cells can be distinguished from other lymphocytes by the presence of __ in their surface
surface immunoglobulins
variable region of Ig are found in the:
amino terminal end, Fab portion
Ig that can activate classical complement cascade
IgM and IgG
Ig in the surface of B cells
IgM and IgD
Ab predominant in secretions
IgA2
Ig that can cross placenta
IgG
optimal ratio when most Ab is precipitated by least amount of Ag
zone of equivalence
Ig in greatest amount and rises later in infection
IgG
IgM molecule is a___
pentamer
In indirect antiglobulin test, how many times must the mixture be washed with saline?
3 times
what causes false negative in agglutination reactions?
inadequate washing of cells in AHG test
Ig assoc. with type 1 hypersensitivity reaction
IgE
amount of Ag binding sites of IgM
10
a cell notable when there are helminth infections
