T-Cell Characteristics
Definition
-cell-mediated immunity against virus-infected cells and cancer cels
-produced in bone marrow, mature in thymus
Term
How are T-Cells activated?
Definition
1) A phagocyte eats a bacteria
2) parts of the bacteria (antigen) goes to the surface of the phagocyte
3) The phagocyte presents the antigen to a helper T cell
Term
Antigen presents on class II is from the _______.
Definition
-outside
Term
Function of Helper T-Cell
Definition
-helps B cells become active
-secrete cytokines that help many immune cells function/become activated
Term
Cytotoxic T-Cells Function
(KILLER T CELLS)
Definition
-will secrete a toxin (granzyme & perforin "pokes holes in cell membrane of infected cell")->causes cell to lose integrity
-Granzyme is secreted in to kill the cell
Term
Apoptosis
Definition
-coordinated/programmed cell death
-no bystanders
Term
Immunity
Definition
-the ability to combat diseases and cancer
-can be brough about naturally through an infection or artificially through medical intervention.
-two types active/passive
Term
Active immunity
Definition
-the indiv. body makes antibodies against a particular antigen
-primary exposure is shorter lived and slower to respond while a secondary exposure is a rapid, strong response long lasting
-depends on memory B and T cells
Term
Passive Immunity
Definition
-an indiv. is given prepared antibodies against a particular antigen
-short lived immunity
-mother to child immunity passage
Term
Primary Response
Definition
-after first exposure to an Ag immune system produces antibodies that gradually increase
Term
Secondary Response
Definition
-after second contact with the same Ag, immune system produces a more rapid, stronger response due to memory cells
Term
Compare and contrast capsules, surface proteins, and exotoxins.
