General term for substances that stimulate adaptive immunity responses.
Antigens
Antigens introduced from outside the body
Foreign Antigens
Overreaction of the immune system to foreign antigens such as pollen, animal hairs, food, and drugs.
Allergic Reactions
Molecules produced by the body that stimulate an immune system response; stimulate autoimmune disease.
Self-antigens
Lymphocytes that produce proteins called antibodies
B cells
Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity and involved in regulating cell-mediated and antibody-mediated immunity.
T Cells
Immunity produced by antibodies in plasma; humoral immunity.
Antibody-mediated immunity
Location where pre-B cells are processed into B cells.
Red Bone Marrow
Location where pre-T cells are processed into T cells.
Thymus
Small groups of identical lymphocytes produced during embryonic development.
Clones
Part of the antibody that combines with the antigen
Variable Region
Part of the antibody that activates complement or attaches to cells such as macrophages, basophils, and mast cells.
Constant Region
Other terms used for antibodies
Immunoglobulins or Gamma Globulins
Antibody binds to antigen or antigens and inactivates them
Direct Effects
Macrophages attach to constant region and phagocytize the antigen; complement is activated; inflammatory chemicals are released by mast cells.
Indirect Effects
Results from the first exposure of a B cell to an antigen
Primary Response
Lymphocytes taht produce antibodies
Plasma Cells
Lymphocytes responsible for the secondary (memory) response.
Memory B Cells
Response to an an antigen that is faster and produces larger quantities of antibodies
Secondary, or memory response
Cells responsible for the cell-mediated immunity response; foreign antigen stimulates these cells to lyse virus-infected cells, tumor cells, or tissue transplant cells.
Cytokines
Chemicals that are relased by cytotoxic T cells and attract macrophages, or activate additional T cells.
Cytokines
T cells that provide a secondary response and long-lasting immunity.
Memory T Cells
Results from natural exposure to an antigen that causes the body's immune system to respond against the antigen
Active Natural Immunity.
Results when an antigen is deleerately introduced into a individiual to stimulate his immune system; also called vaccination
Active Artificial Immunity
Results from the transfer of antibodies from a mother to her child across the placenta
Passive Natural Immunity
Results when antibodies are removed from a human or another animal and injected into an individual requiring immunity.
Passive Artificial Immunity
Gerneral term used for antibodies that provide passive artifical immunity.
