Term
Two types of host defense mechanisms
Definition
Innate & Adaptive Immunity
Term
First line of defense; always present; nonspecific
Definition
Innate
Term
Specific or acquired defense that takes longer to develop but is more effective and has memory
Definition
Adaptive Immunity
Term
Two major classes of lymphocytes that participate in the adaptive immune response.
Definition
B & T cells
Term
Lymphocytes population that is more responsible for the clearance of extracellular microbes.
Definition
B cells
Term
Lymphocytes populations that is more responsible for clearance of intracellular microbes.
Definition
T cells
Term
Classes of T cells
Definition
Helper, Cytolytic, Regulatory
Term
Substance, usually foreign, that reacts with an antibody.
Definition
Antigen
Term
Substance, usually foreign, that elicits an immune response.
Definition
Immunogen
Term
Lymphocyte populations that secretes antibodies
Definition
B cells (plasma cells)
Term
Lymphocytes populations that directly kills infected cells
Definition
Cytotoxic T cells
Term
Lymphocyte populations that helps B cells make antibodies and activates macrophages
Definition
T helper cells
Term
Active immunity that is naturally acquired.
Definition
Recovery from infection
Term
Active immunity that is artificially acquired.
Definition
Vaccination
Term
Passive immunity that is naturally acquired.
Definition
Placental transfer of antibody (IgG)
Term
Passive immunity that is artificially acquired.
Definition
Injection of immune globulin
Term
Maturation stage of a mature lymphocyte that has not yet engaged antigen.
Definition
Naive lymphocyte
Term
Maturation stage of a mature lymphocyte that has been activated by antigen.
Definition
Effector lymphocyte
Term
Maturation stage of a mature lymphocyte that is long-lived and ready to rapidly respond to antigen on the second/subsequent exposures.
Definition
Memory lymphocyte
Term
Secondary lymphoid tissue where the response occurs to blood-borne antigens.
Definition
Spleen
Term
Secondary lymphoid tissue where the response occurs to tissue-borne antigens.
Definition
Lymph nodes, MALT, GALT, BALT
Term
3 major cell types of innate immunity
Definition
Granulocytes, macrophages, NK cells
Term
Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
Definition
Granulocytes
Term
Primary lymphoid tissue
Definition
Bone marrow, thymus
Term
Anatomic location where stem cells reside
Definition
Bone marrow
Term
Anatomic site of B cell maturation
Definition
Bone marrow
Term
Anatomic site of T cell maturation
Definition
Thymus
Term
Cells that capture and present peptides to T cells
Definition
Antigen-presenting cells (APC)
Term
Professional antigen presenting cells
Definition
Dendritic cells, macrophages, B cells, FDC
Term
Response to first exposure to an antigen
Definition
Primary immune response
Term
Response to repeat encounters with the same antigen
Definition
Secondary immune reponse
Term
Major antibody produced in serum during primary immune reponse
Definition
IgM
Term
Major antibody produced in serum during secondary immune reponse
Definition
IgG
Term
Anatomic location of T cells in lymph nodes
Definition
Paracortex
Term
Anatomic location of B cells in lymph nodes
Definition
Follicle
Term
Anatomic location of T cells in spleen
Definition
Periarteriolar sheath
Term
Specialized venules in lymph nodes where T cells enter
Definition
High endothelial venules
