Is there antibody out there?
Cell that produces and releases antibody
Plasma cells
An antigen presenting cell
Macrophage
IgE Mediated Hypersenitivity
Type I
What is complement?
Series of proteins that act in a casade to enhance inflammation
Ability of an agent to produce disease
Pathogenicity
The predominant antibody of a typical secondary immune response
IgG
Releases histamine to begin inflammation
Mast cell or Basophil
This type of hypersensitivity is mediated by immune complex formation
Type III
Classical
Ability of pathogen to invade and multiply in the host
Infectivity
Antibody produced first after antigen exposure
IgM
Predominant phagocyte of early inflammation
Neutrophil
Hypersensitivity reactions that do not involve an antibody response
Type IV
Complement proteins interacting with the surface of antigens (like bacterial cells) can activate which complement pathway?
Alternate
Capacity of a pathogen to cause severe disease
Virulence
This antibody is present in our mucous membranes
IgA
Cell that can kill cancer or virally infected cells all by itself
Natural Killer Cell
An example of this type of hypersensitivity reaction is poison ivy (skin rash the next day after exposure)
Type IV
What is a complement particle that can used for opsonization?
C3
Ability to spread from one individual to others and cause disease
Communicability
This antibody can cross the placenta
IgG
What surface proteins do antigen presenting cells use to present antigen?
MHC (Major Histocompatiblity Complex)
This type of hypersensitivity reaction is tissue specific
Type II
What complement proteins starts the MAC complex?
C5
Cell changes seen in virally infected cells
Cytopathic Effects
