Adaptive Immune Response
Protein markers
antigens
located in small intestinal wall
Peyer's patch
Passed from non-human hosts to humans; infects the brain
Rabies
Cytokines activate these
T-cells
Two types of cells used in this immune response
Memory cells and B-cells
Where do macrophages travel?
lymph nodes
Considered a vestigial structure in lymphatic system
appendix
Causes lockjaw
Tetanus
main goal of cell-mediated immune response
destroy pathogens
The 2 subtypes of humoral immunity
Active and passive (acquired/temporary)
What do helper t-cells release?
cytokines
These are located in the back of the throat
tonsils
Commonly caused by improperly canned foods
Botulism
T-cells use these to pop cell membranes
perforins
Two ways that active immunity is attained
infection and vaccination
Where lymphocytes are stored
lymph nodes
proteins released by infected cells
interferons
The bacteria that causes Typhoid
Salmonella
T-cells travel directly to?
the site of infection
Where does passive immunity initially come from?
mother to infant
These block antigens
antibodies
part of the brain that regulates body temperature
hypothalamus
The virus that causes mono
Epstein-Barr
Cytokines work with these to activate T-cells
Helper T cells
How long does passive immunity last?
up to 6 months
