version question and all CORRECT ANSWER 2024-2025
Accessory cells - CORRECT ANSWER a cell, such as a macrophage or dendritic cell,
that does not express clonally distributed receptors for antigens but participates in
initiating T lymphocyte responses to protein antigens
active immunity - CORRECT ANSWER immunity that develops as a result of natural or
deliberate exposure to an antigen
adaptive immunity - CORRECT ANSWER the form of immunity that is mediated by
lymphocytes and is stimulated by exposure to infections agents
alternative activation - CORRECT ANSWER cytokines activate macrophages to
promote tissue remodeling and repair
antibody - CORRECT ANSWER Protein that is produced by lymphocytes and that
attaches to a specific antigen.
antigen - CORRECT ANSWER Any foreign molecule that is specifically recognized by
lymphocytes and elicits an immune response
antigen-presenting cells - CORRECT ANSWER cells that capture microbial and other
antigens, display them to lymphocytes, and provide signals that stimulate the
proliferation and differentiation of the lymphocytes
autoimmune diseases - CORRECT ANSWER the immune system loses tolerance for
self and turns against certain molecules of the body
b lymphocyte - CORRECT ANSWER a lymphocyte derived from bone marrow that
provides humoral immunity
b lymphocytes - CORRECT ANSWER only cells capable of producing antibodies;
mediators of humoral immunity
basophils - CORRECT ANSWER a type of WBC that promotes inflammation and
participates in allergic responses.
CD25 - CORRECT ANSWER component of the receptor for the T cell growth factor IL-
2
CD4 - CORRECT ANSWER helper T cells
CD40 ligand - CORRECT ANSWER a ligand on T cells that triggers B-cell proliferation
, CD8+ - CORRECT ANSWER Cytotoxic T cells
cell-mediated immunity - CORRECT ANSWER type of immunity produced by T cells
that attack infected or abnormal body cells
chemokine - CORRECT ANSWER large family of structurally homologous cytokines
that stimulate leukocyte movement and regulate the migration of leukocytes from the
blood to tissues
chemokines - CORRECT ANSWER cytokines that determine where B and T cells
reside in the node
classical activation - CORRECT ANSWER cytokines activate macrophages to become
efficient at killing microbes
classical dendritic cells - CORRECT ANSWER dendritic cells in the skin, mucosa, and
organ parenchyma and respond to microbes by migrating to lymph nodes where they
display microbial protein antigens to T lymphocytes
colonal selection hypothesis - CORRECT ANSWER a fundamental tenet of the
immune system stating that every individual possesses numerous clonally derived
lymphocytes, each clone having arisen from a single precursor and being capable of
recognizing and responding to a distinct antigenic determinant
colony-stimulating factors - CORRECT ANSWER Protein that stimulates the growth
and proliferation of white blood cells (granulocytes).
cytolytic t cells - CORRECT ANSWER lyse cells that produce foreign antigens
dendritic cell - CORRECT ANSWER Antigen-presenting cell. Shows T and B cells
what to attack
dendritic cells - CORRECT ANSWER antigen-presenting cells in the skin
diversity - CORRECT ANSWER enables immune system to respond to a large variety
of microbes
Edward Jenner - CORRECT ANSWER Developed a vaccine for smallpox in 1796
effector cells - CORRECT ANSWER the cells that perform effector functions during an
immune response, such as secreting cytokines, killing microbes, killing microbe-infected
host cells, or secreting antibodies
