IgG Types & Antibodies
This is the most abundant antibody in the blood.
What is IgG?
These white blood cells are first responders in bacterial infections.
What are Neutrophils
The four classic signs of inflammation include redness, heat, swelling, and this.
What is pain
HIV primarily targets and destroys these immune cells.
What are CD4 T-helper cells?
Immunity developed after vaccination is this type.
What is active immunity?
This immunoglobulin is the first antibody produced during a primary infection.
What is IgM
This type of immunity is specific, has memory, and improves with repeated exposure.
What is adaptive (acquired) immunity
This life-threatening systemic inflammatory response can lead to organ failure.
What is sepsis
A CD4 count below this number meets the clinical definition of AIDS.
What is 200 cells/mm³?
Immunity gained by receiving antibodies from another source is this type.
What is passive immunity?
This antibody is responsible for allergic reactions and parasitic defense.
What is IgE
These cells mature in the bone marrow and produce antibodies.
What are B cells (B lymphocytes)?
This chemical released from mast cells causes vasodilation and increased capillary permeability.
What is histamine
This systemic autoimmune disease can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, and heart, and is often diagnosed with a positive ANA (antinuclear antibody) test.
What is systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)?
Receiving Rhogam during pregnancy is an example of this type of immunity.
What is artificial passive immunity?
This antibody is found in mucosal secretions such as saliva, tears, and breast milk.
What is IgA
These T cells directly destroy virus-infected or cancer cells.
What are cytotoxic T cells (CD8 cells)?
During acute inflammation, this vascular change allows plasma proteins and leukocytes to move into injured tissue, causing localized swelling.
What is increased capillary permeability?
In this type of disorder, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues, causing chronic inflammation and tissue damage.
What is an autoimmune disease?
A patient receives a tetanus booster. Their immune system recognizes the antigen and produces antibodies, providing long-term protection. This type of immunity is called:
What is active artificial immunity?
List the cells that are made in the Lymphoid Line
What is T cells, B cells, NK cells
A patient receiving high-dose corticosteroids is at increased risk for infection primarily because these medications suppress this type of immunity.
What is cell-mediated immunity?
Activation of this plasma protein cascade results in opsonization, chemotaxis, and formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC).
What is the complement system?
a type of hypersensitivity reaction is immediate, IgE-mediated, and can result's in ________ after second exposure to allergens
A patient is exposed to hepatitis B and receives hepatitis B immunoglobulin to prevent infection. This immunity is:
What is artificial passive immunity?
