1
humoral cell response
B cells recognize a specific antigen with BCR and produce antibodies
can take a while
2
cell mediated response
MHC 1 presents antigen to CD8 T cells that are then activated and stimulate apoptosis
3
antigen
molecules recognized as non self
4
antibody
immunoglobulins that have 2 antigen binding sites and are made of 2 heavy and 2 light chains
5
function of macrophages
undergo phagocytosis
6
function of dendritic cells
capture and present antigens to T cell
express MHC 2
7
function of FDCs
trap antigens to hold for B cell interaction
8
function of B cells
recognize antigen in many forms and dont require MHC
produce antibodies
9
MHC class 1
on all nucleated cells
signal to CD8 cells
have a heavy alpha chain and beta-2-microglobulin chain
10
MHC class 2
on all pro APCs
signal to CD4 cells
two peptide chains of more equal size
11
function of IgG
neutralizes toxins and opsinizes bacteria
can cross placenta
makes up 70-80% of plasma
12
function of IgM
pentamer
first after immunization
helps with antigen recognition and activation
13
function of IgA
in mucosa, tears, sweat, bile, breast milk
stops bacteria and viruses from entering epithelium
14
function of IgE
releases histamine and leukotrienes and recruits eosinophils
fights parasitic infections
involved in hypersensitivity
15
function of IgD
helps with antigen recognition and activation
16
primary lymphoid tissue
bone marrow and thymus
17
secondary lymphoid tissue
lymph nodes, spleen, and malt
18
function of T lymphocytes in cell mediated immunity
CD8 T cells secrete cytokines that directly kill the infected cells
CD4 cells release cytokines that help stimulate B cells to make antibodies
