ONS Immunotherapy Study Guide Questions/Answer
Graded A+ 2025/2026
Agranuloyctes are - T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, monocytes
What two type of immunity make up the immune system? - innate and adaptive
What line of defense is innate immunity? - first
What is the role of innate immunity? - is to mount a non-specific response to a non-self
entity that does not retain memory of the entity
What types of things does innate immunity respond to? - skin, mucous membranes,
normal flora of the skin and gut as barrier or bacterial protection against foreign
substances AND cellular components such as phagocytes, natural killer cells,
granulocytes, and macrophages
If innate immunity proves to be insufficient, what is mobilized? - adaptive immunity
Adaptive immunity leads to what? - immune system memory related to a pathogen or
foreign substance
What are the three parts of adaptive immunity? - humoral immunity, cell mediated
immunity, regulatory t-cells
What is humoral immunity made up of? - b lymphocytes, memory b cells, and plasma to
produce immunoglobulins or antibodies
What is cell mediated immunity dependent on? - cytotoxic t-cells, helper t-cells and their
cytokines
What are regulatory t-cells also known as? - supressor t-cells
What do regulatory t-cells do? - regulate the immune response to prevent autoimmune
reactions and limit inflammatory responses
What are cytokines? - cytokines are secreted by lymphocytes with the intention of
stimulating macrophages and cytotoxic t lymphocytes to identify and kill pathogen
infected cells or tumor cells
What do proto-oncogenes do? - regulate normal cell growth and division.
What are proto-oncogenes? - they are a large family of genes that code for proteins and
enzymes that turn on the cell cycle
