Cards

Term
Streptococcus Pneumonia
Definition
Can change its Polysaccaride layer before the host can fully kill the bacteria.
Has the ability to produce proteins that can bind to the Fc Region of antibodies. uses this as camouflage.
Term
Influenza A
Definition
Antigenic proteins: H: Hemaggulutin, N: Neuraminidase
Can use antigenic drift and Shift to evade the host
Term
Antigenic Drift
Definition
When pathogen such as influenza A has small point mutations changing how it presents itself to the host.
Term
Antigenic Shift
Definition
When two viruses share genetic information forming a new virus that presents radically different from either of the two "parent" viruses
Term
Trypanosomes
Definition
Parasite
Uses gene rearrangement of Variant specific glycoproteins (VSG)
Similar to B and T Cell development
Term
Herpes
Definition
HSV 1 & 2
Hides in the trigeminal Ganglion
Other members: Epstein-Barr and Cytomegalovirus
Term
Staph
Definition
Has the ability to produce proteins that can bind to the Fc Region of antibodies. uses this as camouflage.
Term
Salmonella & Enterobacteria
Definition
Form a capsule (O antigen) that prevents antibody binding
Term
Mycobacteria & Listeria
Definition
Live in vesicles and cytoplasm. Prevent phagocytosis (hide)
Term
Bordetella pertussis
Definition
Produces a toxin
Term
Tuberculoid leprosy
Definition
Less severe, Illicits a TH1 response (correct response) cell mediated.
Term
Lepromatous lepresy
Definition
More severe, TH2 response (incorrect), Produces antibodies when T-cells are needed.
