(106 cards)
Antibody-Mediated Immunity
HUMORAL IMMUNITY
Humor
fluid
Antibody production
HUMORAL IMMUNITY
processes of HUMORAL IMMUNITY
- Activation of B cells
- Proliferation
- Differentiation
Proteins secreted un response to contact with antigens
ANTIBODY
ANTIBODY Moves to the
GAMMA of globulin
Protein migration:
Cathode to Anode
ANTIBODY STRUCTURE
FAB FRAGMENT
Fc FRAGMENT
o 1 light chain
o Half of heavy chain
o Binds to antigen
FAB FRAGMENT
o Crystallizable at 4C
o Half of heavy chain
o Binds to cell or phagocyte
Fc FRAGMENT
MECHANISM OF ACTION: ANTIBODY
- AGGLUTINATION AND PRECIPITATIOMN
- OPSONIZATION
- TOXIN NEUTRALIZATION
- STERIC HINDRANCE
- ACTIVATION OF COMPLEMENT
- ANTIBODY DEPENDENT CELLULAR CYTOXITY
Reaction between a SOLUBLE antibody and a PARTICULATE antigen
AGGLUTINATION
Clumps the antigens together to facilitate phagocytosis
AGGLUTINATION
Reduces number of infectious units to be dealt with
AGGLUTINATION
reaction between a Soluble antibody and SOLUBLE antigen
PRECIPITATION
Coating antigen with antibody to enhance phagocytes
OPSONIZATION
Causes inflammation and lysis; Serum proteins
ACTIVATION OF COMPLEMENT
Binding on cell surface before the antigens
STERIC HINDRANCE
Antibody-antigen complex initiates
COMPLEX FIXATION
Formation of MAC complex; Cell lysis
COMPLEX FIXATION
Antibody attached to target cell cause destruction by macrophages, eosinophils and NK cells
ANTIBODY DEPENDENT CELLULAR CYTOXITY
Cells in CELLULAR IMMUNITY
- Macrophages
- Antigen Presenting Cells
- T cells
Induce immune response by Tcells
Antigen Presenting Cells/Dendritic cell
types of T-HELPER CELLS
T-Helper Cells (A. Memory T cells; B. Cytokines)
T- Cytotoxic Cells
