Cards

Term
Difference between Ig and Ab
Definition
Ab is an Ig that is made in response to and binds to a particular antigen
Term
Ig in descending order of concentration
Definition
Ig G A M D E
Term
Two fragments that Ig will split into if digested by papain
Definition

Fab - fragment, antigen binding

Fc - important in complement activation

Term
difference between isotype and idiotype
Definition

isotype = IgG and IgA

idiotype = one IgG molec and another IgG molec (perhaps from a different B cell)

Term

Name that Ig!

 

Found in serum, great at neutralization

opsonization

complement activation

crosses placenta

Definition
IgGGGGG
Term

Name that Ig:

 

pentamer, first formed in initial immune response, great at neutralization, complement activation, does not cross placenta

Definition
Ig M
Term

Name that Ig:

 

dimer, has a secratory component, neutralization, present in breast milk

Definition
IgA
Term

Name that Ig:

 

Low in serum, mediates allergic reactions, defends against parasitic infections

Definition
IgE
Term

Name that Ig:

 

low levels in plasma, found on b cell surface, antigen receptor

Definition
IgD
Term
What Ig are present on the surface of a mature B cell before isotype switching
Definition
IgM and IgD
Term
Characteristics of T dependent antigens
Definition
require antigen processing, require the assistance of CD4 Tcells (type 2)
Term
Th1 induces which isotype switching in which Ig?
Definition
IgG2
Term
Which cytokine induces growth and isotype switching to IgG1 and IgE
Definition
IL4
Term
Which cytokine enhances differentation of B cells into plasma cells?
Definition
IL5
Term
Which cytokine shares functions with IL 4
Definition
IL13
Term
What Ig is the first to respond in a primary T dependent Ab response?
Definition
IgM
Term
characteristics of secondary Ab response
Definition
more rapid, more intense, more prolonged, IgM is not first Ab produced, affinity maturation
Term
characteristics of t independent antigens
Definition

usually carbohydrates, dont need to be processed, bind directly to Ig receptors

 

no memory cells formed, only IgM is produced

 

children under 2 have poor response
