3531325800innate immunityprotect without prior exposure skim muscosal surface lysozyme, hostile acidity, cough Antimicrobial peptide Toll-like receptor phagocytosis complement mediated0
3531362749adaptive immunityrequires previous exposure1
3531365058TLRdetect Pamps2
3531368231PAMPSLPS, flagellin, peptidoglycanm dsRNA3
3531373275antimicrobial peptides(+) charge, in gut released by Paneth cells, pro proteins digested by trypsin to make mature protein (+) charge, allowing them to insert into the cytoplasmic membrane of pathogens and create a hole4
3531381651Phagocytosisextravasation of phagocytes from capillaries to site of infection -endocytosis of bacterium, bacteria in phagosome -phagosome and lysosome fuse lysozyme digestive enzyme5
3531410898ROS affectlipids, Fe-S cluster, Protein, DNA6
3531413777Complement mediate killing of bacteriastimulated by LPS (bacterial) cascade of proteins result: cell lysis7
3531419008Accquired immunity: humoral immunitypathogens release "antigens" proteins, polysacchar, lip recognized as fortein -antigens are recognized by binding to specific host receptors called antibodies or Igs8
3531432612Antibody2 identical heavy chain, 2 light variable regions shared by N termini of chain -constant region -exist before infection9
35314637605 diff constant regionsIgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, IgE10
3531467714IgMpentameric, at early stages of immune response11
3531470266IgAsecreted in tears, GI tract, milk, secreted by Transcytosis12
3531473379Primary responsemostly IgM- weaker binding affinity but many binding sites13
3531477370Secondary exposureusually IgG14
3531481230Antibody responseprior to infection, antibodies located on surface of B cells during infection, few B cells with useful antibodies divide and differentiate --> plasma cells: secrete large amount of IgM, IgG, IgA --> memory cells: ensure faster response during future infections -Macrophage capture antigen and put on outside -T helper cell (CD4 cell) evaluate antigen and if it is a threat, takes antigen to B cell and find the match -memory cells make response faster15
35315126494 ways antibodies protect host1) neutralization- impedes binding of pathogen to host membrane 2) agglutination- antibodies bind 2 or more antigens and results in large aggregates of antibodies and antigens that can be cleared from the body 3) antibody binding to surface of pathogen stimulates engulfment by phagocytosis 4) complement mediated lysis -complement cascade stim by antibodies bound to bacteria -result in pore formation in bacterial membrane16
3531707974Cell-mediated immune system-antibodies are ineffective against intracellular pathogens -infected cells of any type can alert cytotoxic T cells they have been infected -antigens from within the infected cell are degraded to peptides -peptides bind to MHC proteins and present on cell surface -recognized by T cell receptor of cytotoxic T cell -cytotoxic T cells respond by releasing proteins that kill infected cell17
3531741561Natural activeantigens enter body and induces antibodies18
3531749989Natural passiveantibodies pass from mother to fetus via placenta (IgG) or from breastfeeding (IgA)19
3531756437Artificial activevaccines body produces antibodies20
3531767649Artificial passivepreformed antibodies in immune system are injected21
3531774376Artificial Passive Immunity: Antitoxinstoxoid injected into animal or person ( toxin made harmless with formaldehyde) -protection is short lived -repeated doses give less protection, risk of introducing pathogens like HIV and Hep22

Need Notes?

While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
