acquired immunity is - ANS-specific- recognizes a particular invader that has been
present once before and mounts an augmented response against that specific invader
activated NK cells can produce - ANS-interferon gamma and other cytokines
activated t cells interact with - ANS-b cells through action of cytokines
activation occurs when NK cells contact - ANS-bacterial cell walls or virus infected cells
active artificially induced immunity - ANS-vaccines (host's production of
antibodies/cellular immunity in response to agent's artifical inoculation)
adaptive immune system has - ANS-memory
adaptive immunity is - ANS-custom
later, highly specific
remembers infection
antibody producing cells - ANS-plasma cells (activated B lymphocytes)
antigen presenting cells - ANS-dendritic cells
macrophages
B lymphocytes
helper T cells
artificially induced immunity - ANS-medically introduce antigens or preformed antibodies
into a person's system to boost immunity
b lymphocytes are responsible for - ANS-humoral immune response
b lymphocytes are responsible for - ANS-humoral response (production of antibodies)
causes of inflammation - ANS-external- enviornmental, UV radiation, chemical agents,
biological agents
internal- immunological, enzymatic, prostaglandins
, cd8 cells act to - ANS-destroy virus infected and tumor cells via several cytotoxins
which stimulate intracellular events that lead to apoptosis
CD8 cells act to destroy virus infected cells via cytotoxins such as - ANS-perforin and
granulysin
cells in waiting - ANS-memory B cells
monocytes
naive B cells
Tc
complement system is when a group of proteins - ANS-produced in the liver, circulate in
the bloodstream to the tissues and interact with invading organisms to cause lysis and
death
constant region differs according to - ANS-Ig class
cytokine functions - ANS-b cell activation and differentiation
cytokine is a general term for - ANS-large and diverse group of soluble messenger
proteins
cytokines are proteins released from - ANS-macrophages and other WBCs while
activated by the immune response
they carry signals to other cells and molecules
