Term
Adaptive/Acquired Immunity
Definition
Long-term response to specific antigens
Term
Antigen are typically -- and occasionally-- base.
Definition
Typically protein, occasionally sugar-based
Term
Antigens are -- meaning foreign/non self and cause:
Definition
immunogenic- cause immune response
Term
Small pieces that are recognized as antigens?
Definition
Epitopes
Term
Function of Adaptive immunity:
Definition
Antibody release: extracellular inactivation (toxins and/or microbes)
Identify and kill infected cells (intracellular pathogens)
“Memory” for next exposure
Term
Why don't lipids and nucleic acids make good antigens?
Definition
they dont have good recognizable shapes
Term
Two parts of the adaptive immune system?
Definition
1. Humoral or antibody and 2. Cellular
Term
Where are the two parts of the adaptive immune system
Definition
Humoral or antibody is Extracellular
Cellular is intraceullular
Term
How do antigens bind?
Definition
Epitopes have a specific tertiary structure.
slide 3
Term
Epitopes # of AA
Definition
8-12 amino acids
Term
-- binds antigens
Definition
B and T lymphocytes
Term
B cells have -- binding with --
Definition
Direct binding with B-cell receptor
Term
B cells function:
Definition
Antibody producers (plasma cells)
Memory
Term
T cells function:
Definition
Helpers
Killers (cytotoxic)
and regulators (ignored)
Term
T cells have -- binding with --
Definition
Must be cell-bound with Tcell receptor
Term
Antibodies have # chains- which are made up of --.
They have a -- antigen binding region made --.
Another region -- is for --
Definition
4 chains (2 light, 2 heavy)
variable
randomly
Constant region functionality and recognition
Term
slide 4 examples tegrity
Definition
Term
Antibodies are apart of the -- immunity
Definition
humoral/antibody immunity
Term
Antibodies can be secreted into -- and --
Definition
Secreted into bloodstream (Ab) or cell-bound (immunoglobulin =Ig)
Term
# of classes of antibodies and names:
Definition
IgG, M, A, D, E
Term
Functions of Antibodies:
1. doesn't happen much, just in lab:
2. Nk bridge
3. Complement
4.
5.
Definition
Agglutination/precipitation (doesn’t happen much, mostly in lab)
Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (NK bridge between innate +adaptive) (fc receptors ADCC)
Classical complement (bridge between innate + adaptive)
Initiated by antibody bound to the outside of the invader
Neutralize (block function)
Very important for vaccination (bonus activity)
Ab that bind to neuroaminadase- req for flu to cut free into the environment. Ab can bind to NA and block the function. Makes the flu harder to infect more cells.
Memory response can make these Ab come out the next time they’re infected.
Opsonize (phagocytosis)
Term
What is the first stage of humoral immunity
Definition
B cells are roaming. They are naive (never exposed to antigen)
They are waiting for antigens
Term
2nd step of humoral immunity that happens randomly
Definition
B cells bind with B cell receptors called IgM complex
Term
3rd step of humoral immunity: After binding-
Definition
matching antigen to antigenic epitope
endocytosis
clonal selection (mitosis)
Antigen presentation via MHC2
Term
What is clonal selection?
Definition
mitosis increases the population of the B-cell that matched to an antigen
Term
After clonal selection-
Definition
B cells differentiate into Memory or Plasma cells
Term
Memory B cells go-
Definition
to bone marrow/lymph node and wait for next exposure
Term
Plasma cells from B cells go-
Definition
to antibody factories to have T cells help make antibodies to fight infection
Term
If a cell is lacking MHC1, what happens?
Definition
signals NK to kill it.
Term
T cells only recognize-
Definition
presented antigens on the MHC
Term
MHC=
Definition
Major hisocompatibility complex
Term
MHC 1 is in
Definition
All nucleated cells. Antigens that are made in cytoplasm by INTRAcellular pathogens
Term
MHC2 is in-
Definition
WBC
Usually phagocytized antigens (dendritics cells, macrophages, B cells, extracellular pathogens.
Term
example of intracellular pathogen=
Definition
viruses (WN, influenza) or S. typhirium, plague N. pestus (plague)
Term
examples of extracellular pathogens-
Definition
V. collera, O157, C. perfringens, S. pyogenes, etc.
Term
What binds to MHC1
Definition
Cytotoxic T cells (“CD8+” Tc) and the antigen
Term
what binds to MHC2
Definition
T-helper cells (“CD4+” TH) and the antigen
Term
Th0 can differentiate into:
Definition
Th1 or Th2
Term
Th1 favors:
Definition
cell-mediated “intracellular” immunity
Term
Th2 favors:
Definition
favors humoral/antibody “extracellular” immunity
Term
B and T cells meet
Definition
in lymph node
Term
If its an extracellular pathogen it will prefer : -- meaning:
Definition
Humoral
APC/MHC II activate TH0 cells
TH0 cells → TH2 cells
TH2 cells activate B cells
Make antibodies
Term
In its an intracellular pathogen what will happen?
Definition
APC/MHC II activate TH0 cells
TH0 cells → TH1 cells
TH1 cells activate macrophages and cytotoxic T (Tc) cells
