|
Immunization (vaccination) |
Injecting antigen to cause immunity by inducing a immune response against specific immunogen |
|
|
Immunology |
Study of host reactions when foreign substances are introduced |
|
|
Serology |
study of noncellular components in blood (ag/ab) |
|
|
Immunogen |
Foreign substance that induces a response |
|
|
Antigens |
Foreign substance that is capable of inducing a response (harmful or harmless) |
|
|
Antibody (immunoglobulin) |
Glycoprotein, created in response to antigen |
|
|
Epitope |
Antibody binding site, single antigen site |
|
|
Immunity |
Resistance to infection which often follows recovery from an initial exposure |
|
|
Cell-mediated immunity (specific) |
mediated by T lymphs and products intracellular |
|
|
how adaptive immunity is passively induced |
antibodies are made externally by another conferred by transfer of antibodies from an actively immunized person/animal |
|
|
Primary immune response (memory) |
Response to 1st exposure to antigen mediated by naive lymphs |
|
|
Clonal selection |
Activation, proliferation, differentiation interaction with ag stimulates lymphs |
|
|
Natural/innate immunity |
Born with it nonspecific first line of defense |
|
|
Secondary immune response (memory) |
anamnestic response result of memory lymphs subsequent encounters with same ag |
|
|
Acquired/adaptive immunity |
Induced, specific, adapts to defend |
|
|
Humoral immunity (specific) |
mediated by antibodies produced by B lymphs extracellular |
|
|
how adaptive immunity is actively induced |
antibodies made by host infection or vaccination |
|
|
characteristics of innate/natural immunity |
antigen nonspecific rapid response (minutes) no memory (splinter story) |
|
|
characteristics of adaptive/acquired immunity |
antigen specific slow response (days) memory |
