QUESTIONS SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ aka immunoglobins, these are specific glycoproteins found in serum
or plasma produced by B-lymphs when body detects harmful substances
called antigens.
Answer: antibodies
◉ aka immunogens, these large molecules found on surface of cells,
viruses, fungi, bacteria, pollen, chemicals, foreign particles causing body
to produce antibodies against it; can be formed in the body with bacterial
toxins or tissue cells.
Answer: antigens
◉ portions or fragments of an antigen that REACT with antibodies and
lymph receptors.
Answer: epitope
◉ very small molecules that can bind to a larger carrier molecule and
behave as an antigen.
Answer: hapten
◉ molecule that when coupled with a hapten, renders the hapten
immunogenic.
, Answer: carrier
◉ main function is to recognize microbes as being either self or nonself.
Answer: immune system
◉ defense, homeostasis, surveillance.
Answer: 3 functions of immune system
◉ first line of defense, natural (innate) immunity, acquired (adaptive)
immunity.
Answer: 3 types of immune response
◉ defense mechanism that body uses immediately after exposure to a
microbe; it is non-specific and nonadaptive.
Answer: natural immunity
◉ components include phagocytic cells along with mast cells, neutros
and macrophages.
Answer: cellular component
◉ components include complement proteins, lysozymes, interferons.
Answer: humoral components
