Different Types of Protective Mechanisms vs Bacteria Intact skin and mucosal surface (structural barriers)
Accute phase reactants (C-reactive protein) activates complement system and
promotes phagocytosis by macrophages
Adaptive immune response produces antibodies directed against bacterial
antigens or exotoxins
Dilution for Bleach if Cavicide is not available 1:10 or 10% (needs confirmation)
Precipitation Curve Prozone - antigen combines with only one or two antibody molecules, no
cross-linkage
Zone of Equivalence
Postzone - small aggregates are surrounded by excess antigen, no cross-links
