which ig is expressed first

IgM
which region of antibodies is different?
constant
these are also called immune receptors
b cell antigen receptors
incomplete antigens that can become good/whole if they attach to a carrier protein
haptens
these antigens dissolve body fluids
soluble
venom, plant extract, food molecules are examples of which kind of antigen
soluble
cell parts like pili, flagella, pollen spores are examples of which type of antigen
particulate
bacterial cells, protozoans, worms, transplant cells and cancer cells are examples of which type of antigen
whole intact
the part of antigens recognized by immune system
epitope
these types of tcells regulate immune reactions, active macrophages, improve opsonization
helper t cells
this ig helps control worms
IgE
this ig crosses the placenta, found in mucus, milk, sweat, saliva
IgA
this ig is the most predominant in numbers
IgG
this ig protects newborns from GI infections

IgM
monomer *hint: 3
IgD, IgG, IgE
this ig is expressed first
IgM
switching from making IgM to another ig that keeps same variable site so entire body is covered
class switching
immunological memory
primary response sends attack, develops t and b cells; secondary response remembers the pathogen from before and attacks tremendously
MCHII presents to
t4 lymphocytes (CD4)
MCHI presents to
t8 lymphocytes (CD8)
MCHII is found only on
macrophages, dendritic cells and b cells (apc's)
antigen presentation steps
apc loads epitope on MHCII presents to CD4, interleukins from Thelper sent to APC; divides into antibody-making plasma cells and memory cells
antibodies cover the
viral particle and neutralize it so it can't enter host cell; opsonize by adding atbys to it; easier for macro to engulf and activate complement system
APC
dendritic, macro, b cells
where do apcs hang out
in extracellular tissue
apcs must wait for this before mounting immune response (their 'permission')
interleukins
deletion of self-receptor lymphocytes so we won't attack them with antibodies is called
clonal deletion
antibodies that we made
active immunity
we received these antibodies
passive immunity
this immunity comes from daily life infection
natural active
this immunity comes from vaccination

neutrophils
these clean up the mess that neutrophils leave behind
macrophages
this inhibits multiplication of temp-sensitive microbes

reduces iron, so it impedes bacteria; increases metabolism, stimulates immune reactions/protective processes
fever
this substance resets hypothalamus to increase body temp

lymph fluid
this plasma-like liquid is made of water, dissolved salts, 2-5% proteins and transports wbcs, fats, cellular debris, infections agents
lymph fluid
this is an alternative route for returning extracellular fluid to circ system; drain off for inflammatory response
lymph system
this system renders surveillance, recognition, collection of foreign material (nodes)

fecal-oral route of transmission
oral contact with fecal-infected material (flies, utensils, tables) usually by poor hygiene

thru this transmission, the pathogens can survive in air, be inhaled, survive in dust
airborne
3 modes of drug resistance
change what drug targets, remove/exclude drug once it has entered, acquire enzymes that inactivate/destroy drug (like beta lactamase that cuts ring in pcn, inactivating it)
