Q

interferons are

A

proteins produced by cells infected by the virus, it diffuses to nearby cells to make a protein that ubferes with viral reproduction

Q

what is an aspect of inflammation that can cuase further harm then good

A

inflammation makes the the blood cappillaries permeable cuasing fluid to leak into other surrounding tissue leading to potential damage to other areas

Q

fevers come in response to

A

bacteria and viruses

24
Q

fever stimulates

A

lymphocytes to divide and phagocytes activity

25
fever produces what that does what
interleukin(It-1) which raises the internal temp in the hypothalamus trigger the spleen and liver to hide the iron from the blood
26
why would the body hide iron from the blood during a fever
iron is needed for bacteria and viruses for thier normal metabolism
27
each T and B cells will bind to
bind to specific antigens
28
cell mediated immune response is when
antigens trigger an immune response activating t cells and or B cells
29
what are the three major types of T cells
cytotoxic t cells helper T cells suppresor T cells
30
cytotoxic t cells are
killer t cells
31
helper t cells do what
they stimulate T and B cell responses
32
suppressor T cells do what
slows immune responses down to inhibit or moderate immune responses
33
describe class 1 MHC
-found in all nucleated cells -made continuesly -if the nucleated cell becomes abnormal or viral proteins T cells will activate and the cell will be destroyed ex: doner tissue rejection
34
class 2 mhc are found on
lymphocytes and antigen presenting cells
35
antigen presenting cells are
phagocytic cells (monocytes and macrophages they wear what they killed like a billboard
36
cytotoxic T cells find
taget antigens and kill the cells
37
what the three ways cytotoxic t cells kill cells
-rupture the cells with perforins -secrete a poisen(lymphotoxin that ruins the function of the cell -activate genes so the cell self destructs
38
memory cytotoxic cells when meeting antigen agian
will imediatly become cytotoxic
39
inactive t cells have receptors that recognize
mhc1 and or mhc 2 and also has receptor sites for specific antigens
40
what cell has CD3
all t cells
41
cd 8 is found on
cytotoxic t cells and are activated by mhc 1
42
cd4 is found on
helper t cells and are activated by mhc2
43
how does costimulation act as a safety feature
makes it where the the t cells need another protein on the cell in order to activate and kill all the antigens
44
colony stimulating factors stimulate
the bone marrow to produce B cells
45
interforons block
viral reproduction
46
interferons stimulate
macrophages to come and engulf viruses B cells to produce antibodies and atack cancer cells
47
interleukins control
lymphocytes differention and growth
48
tumour necrosis factor cuases what
-stops tumour growth -cuases fever that come from bacterial infections -stimulates lymphocytes differentiation
49
what are the 5 immunoglobulins
G E D M A
50
immunoglobin G is the
largest most diverse 80% found in plasma tissue fluids -provides resistance to viruses,bacteria and toxins
51
immunoglobulin E
atach to basophils and mast cells inflammation and allergic responses appear in exocrine secretion along with ig A
52
Ig D
found on B-cells antigen receptors, plays an important role in activating B cells
53
Ig M
6% of the antibodies. first to be secreted -forms large complexes of 5 antibodies
54
IG A
13% -found in singles or in pairs ends up in exocrine surfaces
55
name six ways antibodies elimate antigens
neutrolization aglutination and precipitation activation of a complement opsinization chemotaxis stimulate inflammation
