Q

what are the 3 types of antigens

A
  • exogenous antigens: outside the cell being engulfed by cell
  • endogenous: proteins produced due to a virus produced inside
  • autoantigens: normal cells, but are not recognized by our cells

24
why are antibodies called immunoglobulins
their structure is globular and function in immune response
25
why are antibodies monospecific
only act on the stimulating antigen | **one antibody for every one antigen
26
why are antibodies bivalent
two forks
27
describe the structure of antibodies
Y shaped
28
antibodies are composed of two ____________chains and two ___________chains
- light | - heavy
29
how many antigenic sites are there
2
30
what are the functions of antibodies
- neutralization - opsonization - agglutination - antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity(NK cells)
31
toxin/ pathogen. function blocks attachment
neutralization
32
antibody attaches to receptors along with the antigen is has, so the pathogen is stuck. phagocyte swallows pathogen
opsonization
33
antibody bind pathogen together forming a clomp. phagocyte comes and swallows clump.
agglutination
34
Nk cells release toxins that poke holes in the membranes and lysis the cells
antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity
35
what are the 5 classes of antibodies
- igM - igG - igA - igE - igD
36
smallest, long-lived, most common in blood, crosses the placenta to protect fetus, 85% blood. which class antibody is this?
igG
37
Largest, produced 1st in immoral immunity(5sites), complements activation, agglutination, and neutralzation, 1st produced and synthesizes the rest, short lived
igM
38
agglutination and neutralization (crying, milk secretions)
IgA
39
triggers release of histamines from basophil, mast cells
igE
40
unknown <1% blood. what class of antibody is this
igD
41
this antibody is present at high concentration in the serum is the ____________
igG= long lived antibodies
42
what is the major histocompatibility complex of MHC
-cell surface glycoproteins coded by a region in the DNA of human chromosome #6
43
what is the function of MHC
to hold and position antigenic determinate for presentation to Tcells
44
class 1 MHC or MHC1 binds to _______________ and is found ________________
CD8 in cytotoxic T cells | all human cells except rbcs
45
class 2 MHC or MHC2 binds to _________________ and is found on _______________
CD4 in helper T cells | B cells and macrophages
46
exogenous antigens are bound by what MHC which are contained in the __________
MHC2, golgii apparatus
47
what happens to the antigens during antigen presentation
they are processed for MHC proteins to display epitopes
48
endogenous antigens are presented by ___________
MHC1
49
exogenous antigens are presented by _________
MHC2
50
what is the function of plasma cells?
produce antibodies
51
what is the function of memory B cells
transform, then produce antibodies
52
which cells are long-lived? short-lived?
memory, active
53
immune response against antigens encountered in daily life.
natural acquired immunity
54
response to antigens introduced via a vaccine
artificial acquired immunity
55
active response to antigens via humoral or cell mediated responses
active immunity
56
passively receive antibodies from another individual
passive immunity
57
what are examples of natural active immunity
exposed to infection or free antigen
58
what are examples of natural passive immunity
vaccine with killed or attenuated pathogens or their product
59
what are examples of artificial active immunity
acquisition of transplacental or breast milk antibodies (flu vaccine)
60
what are examples of artificial passive immunity
administration of immune serum (common)
61
what are the 4 types of hypersensitivities (allergies)
- type 1 (igE= medicated) - typeII : human blood cells involved - typeIII (immune-complex mediated) - typeIV (delayed or cell mediated)=T cells * 1-3= humoral
62
what are examples of hypersensitivity type 1
urticaria (hives) astrima allergic rhinitis (hay fever) anaphylactic shock (fatal in some cases)
63
in type II hypersensitivity cell surface __________ of RBC react with the __________causing hemolysis
antigens, antibodies
64
what are examples of type II hypersensitivity
hemolytic disease of neonates (Rh factors)-present in blood | transfusion reactions
65
what caused type III hypersensitivity
-antigen-antibody complexes persist in circulation -complexes initate blood clotting mechanisms A. disseminated intravascular coagulation B. failure of vital organs -complexes deposit in skin, joints, kidneys A. rashes, joint pain
66
give examples of hypersensitivity III
hypersensitivity pneumonitis | glomernlonephritis
67
what are examples of hypersensitivity IV
- TB skin test - leporsy - leisnmaniasis - herpes simplex - contact dermatitis (poison ivy) - graft rejections
