UNIT 3 Flashcards
(131 cards)
belong to the host
○ Can be a tolerogen since it belongs to the
host
autoantigens
from other members of the host’s
species
alloantigens
from other species
heteroantigens
hetero ags that exist in
unrelated plants or animals but are either identical or closely-related in structure so that ab to one can
cross react w/ ag of the other.
heterophile antigens
antigens that can be tolerated by the
immune system; it could be an autoantigen
(self-antigen)
tolerogen
Substance administered with an immunogen that
increases and hastens the immune response
adjuvants
Ag capable of stimulating the IR
immunogens
Are antigens that can be recognized and should be
reacted by immune system, eliciting a response
immunogens
Generation of immune
response against an immunogen
immunogenecity
All immunogens are antigen; but not all antigens are
immunogen
TRUE
best immunogens
proteins
Present in the pathogen
PAMP
This is the pattern recognized by
PRR and deemed foreign, eliciting
response
PAMP
This recognizes damaged patterns
and considers it foreign therefore
removed from the immune system
DAMP
the ability of the APR to
degrade the antigen to smaller pieces;
smaller pieces are easier to lyse
degradability
antigen still remains present in the APR until
communicated with T Cell (must remain
stable to be detected by T cell pag pinasa ni
APR)
stability
MHC Class I
TC
MHC Class II
TH
CD8+ / All nucleated cell / red
cell
MHC Class 1
APC (dendritic, Macrophage /
Monocyte, B cell)
MHC Class 2
Any cell which utilizes MHC______ communicates with T cytotoxic or T suppressor cells
Class I
but in certain times,
specially _______ there is a chance
for them to use class 1 molecules.
dendritic cells
is the most potent
APC because it effectively uses
both Class II (CD4+ T helper) and
Class I (CD8+ T8 cytotoxic) MHC
DC
small substances that are
non-immunogenic in itself.
Complexed to larger molecule (carriers) to be
immunogenic
