Concept explainers
To draw: An antigen-antibody complex.
Introduction: Immunity specifies the defense mechanisms carried out to protect the body from pathogens and other foreign substances that could harm the body by causing the disease or capable of altering the normal function of the system. There are two types of immunity, namely innate immunity (that is inherited from the parents) and acquired immunity (that is gained over lifetime).
To describe: The three ways in which antigen-antibody complexes affect the pathogens.

- Briefly describe three ways that antibody diversity is increased.arrow_forwardGive typed full explanation Introduction of induction of specific protective antibodies in a susceptible person or animal or the production of cellular immunity in such person or animal.arrow_forwardDescribe the difference between (A) ‘naked antibodies’ and (B) conjugated antibodies in the context of using humanized monoclonal antibodies for tumor killing.arrow_forward
- Describe how using cells is an important link between the innate immunity and adaptive immunity is formed. Please explain and make some examples.arrow_forwardDifferentiate among antibody classes using structuralcharacteristics, distribution patterns, and functional roles.arrow_forwardExplain the multifaceted role of interferons as first responders to viral infection: Identify important target ISGs. Discuss the general mechanisms by which interferon induced genes block virus replication.arrow_forward
- Distinguish between the innate and adaptive immune systems in terms of cell types used, how they recognize pathogens, and how they protect animals from infection. Predict how perturbations in immune cells or immune responses influence innate immune system function. Predict how perturbations in immune cells or immune responses influence adaptive immune system function. Explain how traditional and mRNA vaccines work using the terms: antibody, antigen, B-cells, helper T-cells, plasma cells, and memory B-cells. Predict whether an infection or perturbations in B- and T- cell development might predispose someone to develop an autoimmune disease.arrow_forwardExplain the multifaceted role of interferons as first responders to viral infection: What types of interferons are activated by viruses at the earliest stages of infection? How are interferons activated? What types of stimuli activate interferons at the earliest stages of viral infection.? Identify the receptors to which interferon binds and how their activation affects gene expression?arrow_forwardHow are antibodies unique? Please discuss the structure of an antibody. What are the V and C regions? Discuss how the few hundred genes involved are capable of making endless amounts of antibodies. Besides medical treatment what is another way antibodies can be used?arrow_forward
- Correctly order the steps in cellular Immunity. Below is a sequence of events. Place them in the order they should occur, number 1 being the first item. Select the step number from the drop down next to each item. Items to order: a) .Cytotoxic T cell (CTL) recognizes the infected host cell b) The CTL secretes perforin and granzyme, causing apoptosis c) The CTL interacts with epitope presented by MHC-I on the dendritic cell d) The helper T cell activates the CTL cellarrow_forwardplease give all four answers asaparrow_forwardWhat is the chemical basis for the specificity of binding of an immunoglobin antibody to a particular antigen?
