Antibodies may coat a pathogen to allow white blood cells to more easily
phagocytose it. This process is known as...
opsonization
All cells have a "barcode" of proteins on their surfaces that are unique to that cell
type. Our immune system can instantly recognize some of these barcodes as
indication of a potentially pathogenic cell. These pathogenic barcode proteins are
called...
Note: This is asking about the proteins, not the receptors that detect them.
MAMPS
____-like receptors can recognize pathogen proteins on the outside surface of the
cells, while ____-like receptors can recognize similar proteins inside the cell.
toll/NOD
Which type of white blood cells nonspecifically seek out cells with abnormal
MHCI signatures. Once detected, they are destroyed by poking holes in the
membrane.
Natural Killer Cells
Peyer's patches house this type of cell that can sample bacteria from the lining of
the gut.
M cells
What is the term for a substance that will induce a fever response?
pyrogens
What is the target of lysozymes?
cell walls
