What's the difference between immunoglobulins and antibodies? |
|
Definition
immunoglobulins are b cell receptors, antibodies are secreted soluble forms of b cell receptors |
|
|
Term
Name the genes that create the chains of the T cell receptor. |
|
Definition
the beta chain is from V,D, and J chain segments. The alpha chain is from V and J chains. |
|
|
Term
Name the genes that create the chains of the B cell receptor |
|
Definition
heavy chain is by V, D, and J chain segments. light chain is by the V and J chains |
|
|
Term
Where is the adaptive immune response initiated? |
|
Definition
secondary lymphoid tissues (BALT, Peyers patches, lymph nodes, etc.) |
|
|
Term
How does the pathogen get to the secondary lymphoid organ? |
|
Definition
pathogen undergoes endocytosis by the dendritic cell and then the dendritic cell migraes to lymph vessel |
|
|
Term
Dendritic cells travel to the secondary lymphoid tissue to activate what naive cell? |
|
Definition
T cells and B cells ! (the cells go from naive cells to effector cells) |
|
|
Term
MHC I degrades ________ pathogens and then presents them to _________. |
|
Definition
intracellular; cytotoxic t cells |
|
|
Term
MHC II degrades _______ pathogens and then presents them to ________. |
|
Definition
extracellular; helper T cells |
|
|
Term
How is a cytotoxic T cell activated? |
|
Definition
MHC molecule on infected cell binds with both CD8 and T cell receptor (CD8 is co-receptor) |
|
|
Term
How are helper T cells activated? |
|
Definition
interact with MHC II complex on either B cell or macrophage with TCR and CD4 (CD 4 as co receptor) |
|
|
Term
Name two ways in which helper T cells help other cells fight infection |
|
Definition
1) activate macrophages by direct contact or cytokines, 2) induce B cells to make antibodies |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Activated cytotoxic T cells leave lymphoid tissue and arrive at infected tissue via... |
|
Definition
lymph vessels or blood stream |
|
|
Term
Instead of secreting antibodies, a small percentage of B cells can combat infection by ______________. |
|
Definition
migrating to the site of infection, directly binding to the pathogen, and thereby target pathogen for macrophage |
|
|
Term
Unlike T cells, B cells can directly recognize an antigen. WHat do they do with this antigen? |
|
Definition
bind pathogen, receptor-mediated endocytosis, pathogen degraded and MHC II displays pathogen peptides on B cell surface. B cell remains in lymph node |
|
|
Term
What happens when B cells present antigen to helper T cells? |
|
Definition
helper T cells secrete cytokines that induce B cell to proliferate, differentiate, and produce antibodies |
|
|
Term
Name the five isotypes of antibodies. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Naive, circulating B cells express which classes of antibody? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
THe first antibody to be secreted is of which class of antibodies? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
What are the main isotypes of antibodies in body fluids? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Where is IgA transported to bind pathogens and toxins? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
when antibodies bind to two cells and thereby crosslink the cells. This hinders ability of microbes to spread. |
|
|
Term
How do antibodies neutralize infections? |
|
Definition
they bind to toxins (thereby preventing toxins to binding to human cells) Then macrophage recognizes Fc portion of antibody and endocytose and degrades toxin |
|
|
Term
Macrophages can endocytose pathogens that are tagged with either ________ or _______. |
|
Definition
IgG via constant region (Fc) OR C3b deposited on bacterial surface |
|
|
Term
Antibodies work with eosinophils by... |
|
Definition
recognizing and binding to parasitic worms so the eosinophil can kill the worm |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Introduces nucleotide substitutions in variable regions of rearranged IgH and L chains. Then you can select for antibodies that bind more tightly to the pathogen |
|
|
Term
How long does it take to get a primary immune reponse? A secondary immune response? |
|
Definition
primary- 1-2 weeks; secondary 3-4 days |
|
|
Term
It is important that T and B cells exhibit central immunological tolerance so that they.... |
|
Definition
don't kill your own cells |
|
|
Term
How do allergens cause inflammation? |
|
Definition
IgE mediated degranulation of mast cells |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay |
|
|
Term
Immunoblotting is also known as __________. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
What type of lymphocytes are involved in humoral immunity? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
What type of lymphocyte is involved in cell mediated immunity? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
The part of the antigen bound by a B or T cell receptor is called the ______. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
molecules that are recognized by receptors on lymphocytes |
