Term
What happens once a virus enters a cell?
Definition
it multiplies itslef and the cell busts and try to take over other cells
Term
Once a cell bursts and viruses are released, they need to be killed by white blood cells called _____.
Definition
leukaocytes
Term
What are the two types of leukocytes?
Definition
T cells and B cells
Term
When a cell has viruses inside of it, it puts a _____on the outside of the cell to warn other cells of the viruses.
Definition
display antigen
Term
What do macrophages do?
Definition
eat viruses
Term
What happens when a macrophage eats a virus/
Definition
it takes an antigen from the virus and displays it on its surface
Term
What is the protein called where an antigen lies on the surface of the macrophage?
Definition
MHC protein
Term
where will the macrophage eventually go?
Definition
into a lymph node
Term
What are inside lymph nodes? What does a macrophage do once iside a lymph node
Definition
t cells and b cells; bumps into the t cells and b cells
Term
The T cells have ______that are supposed to match up to only one _____on the macrophage.
Definition
receptors; antigen
Term
When the macrophage binds to one antigen, what happens to the T cell?
Definition
it is activated and clones itself
Term
What are the three types of T cells?
Definition
memory, killer, and helper
Term
What do memory T cells do?
Definition
they stay in the body for the rest of a lifetime to make sure you never get sick again
Term
What do killer T cells do?
Definition
they go around the body and bump into cells and eventually finds a cell that matches its receptor and sprays the cell with a chemical called perferin which kills the cell and all viruses inside
Term
Killer t cells are also called_____
Definition
cytotoxic T cells
Term
What does a Helper t cell do?
Definition
it goes around the body and sprays a chemical called cytokines which cause a cell to multiply and spray white blood cells
Term
What do helper T cells help increase?
Definition
the immune response
Term
helper t cells are the cells that _____infects.
Definition
hiv virus
Term
There are still viruses that need to be killed that macrophages didn't get. Which is more difficult to activate B cells or T cells?
Definition
b cells
Term
What two things must happen in order for a B cell to be activated?
Definition
a virus must go into a lymph node and bump into B cells and eventually finds a cell that matches its receptor and the helper t cell has to come into the lymph node and spray the B cell with cytokines and then the B cell is activated and clones itself
Term
What are the two types of B cells?
Definition
memory b cells and plasma b cells
Term
How do plasma b cells create the ultimate weapon against a virus?
Definition
there are y shaped receptors that are released and float away. these y shaped receptors are made by plasma b cells and they are called antibodies
Term
What do antibodies do?
Definition
they stick to antigens on viruses and when many antibodies start to stick on a virus, they form one virus stuck together called an agglutination
Term
What happens to a virus when it becomes an agluttanation?
Definition
it can't infect anything
Term
What happens to the agglutunations?
Definition
they are eaten by a macrophage
