Content preview
Cellular and Molecular Immunology1. Innate Immunity: Protection against infection that relies on mechanisms that
exist before infection, are capable of a rapid response to microbes, and react
in essentially the same way to repeated infection
2. Adaptive Immunity: Form of immunity that is mediated by lymphocytes and
stimulated by previous exposure to infectious agents; also known as acquired
immunity
3. Cytokines: Proteins that are produced and secreted by many different cell
types and mediate inflammatory and immune reactions
4. Chemokines: Large subset of structurally related cytokines that regulate cell
migration and movement
5. Humoral Immunity: Type of adaptive immune response mediated by
antibodies produced by B lymphocytes
6. Effector Mechanisms: Antibodies are specialized and may activate different
mechanisms to combat microbes
7. Cell-Mediated Immunity: Adaptive immunity mediated by T lymphocytes
8. Active Immunity: Immunity induced by exposure to a foreign antigen
9. Passive Immunity: Immunity conferred on an individual by transferring serum
or lymphocytes from a specifically immunized individual
10. Immunogens: Substances that stimulate immune responses; antigens
11. Opsonization: Process by which an immune serum enhances the
phagocytosis of bacteria by coating the bacteria
12. Cardinal features of Adaptive Immunity: Specificity and diversity, memory,
clonal expansion, specialization, contraction and homeostasis, non-reactivity
to self 13. Determinants/Epitopes: Parts of antigens that are specifically
recognized by individual lymphocytes
14. Tolerance: Immunological unresponsiveness
15. Autoimmune Disease: Disorder caused by abnormalities in the induction or
maintenance of self-tolerance, which leads to immune responses against self-
antigens
16. Principal Cells of the Adaptive Immune System: Lymphocytes, antigen-
presenting cells, and effector cells
17. B Lymphocytes: Only cells capable of producing antibodies; recognizes
extracellular and cell-surface antigens and differentiates into antibody-
secreting plasma cells (humoral)
18. T Lymphocytes: Cells that recognize the antigens of intracellular microbes
and either helps phagocytes destroy microbes or kills infected cells; restricted
specificity for antigens
