IMMUNOLOGY (TEST 1) Immune
System Questions and Answers
Process of being protected against foreign antigens - <CORRECT ANSWER >>immunity
Aka immunoglobins, these are specific glycoproteins found in serum or plasma produced by B-
lymphs when body detects harmful substances called antigens - <CORRECT ANSWER
>>antibodies
Aka immunogens, these large molecules found on surface of cells, viruses, fungi, bacteria,
pollen, chemicals, foreign particles causing body to produce antibodies against it; can be
formed in the body with bacterial toxins or tissue cells - <CORRECT ANSWER >>antigens
Portions or fragments of an antigen that REACT with antibodies and lymph receptors -
<CORRECT ANSWER >>epitope
Very small molecules that can bind to a larger carrier molecule and behave as an antigen -
<CORRECT ANSWER >>hapten
Molecule that when coupled with a hapten, renders the hapten immunogenic - <CORRECT
ANSWER >>carrier
Main function is to recognize microbes as being either self or nonself - <CORRECT ANSWER
>>immune system
Defense, homeostasis, surveillance - <CORRECT ANSWER >>3 functions of immune system
First line of defense, natural (innate) immunity, acquired (adaptive) immunity - <CORRECT
ANSWER >>3 types of immune response
, Defense mechanism that body uses immediately after exposure to a microbe; it is non-specific
and nonadaptive - <CORRECT ANSWER >>natural immunity
