PREPARATION
,Who discovered vaccination, how did he do it? -ANSWER✅✅✅In 1796 Edward Jenner
realized milkmaids who had contracted cowpox (mild disease symptoms compared to
smallpox) were not susceptible to smallpox, so he used fluid from a cowpox pustule
would induce immunity to smallpox and tested theory on 8 yr old boy- inoculated boy
with fluid from cowpox pustule then later injected the boy with smallpox. The boy didn't
contract smallpox.
What are some gram - bacteria to know for this class? -ANSWER✅✅✅• E. Coli
• Pseudomonas
• Salmonella
PES
What are some gram + bacteria to know for this class? -ANSWER✅✅✅• Vacilles
• Streptococcus
• Staphylococcus aureus
• Mycobacterium
VSSM
What antigen is found on the surface of those classes of gram - bacteria? -
ANSWER✅✅✅LPS (lipopolysaccharide) out membrane
What antigen is found on the surface of those classes of gram + bacteria? -
ANSWER✅✅✅Membrane is glycoteichoic acid
Are all bacteria in your body bad? -ANSWER✅✅✅No commensal bacteria is not bad
for your body
What is commensal bacteria? -ANSWER✅✅✅Over 1000 microbial species are in
human gut (normal flora)
And they do not cause harm to the host
"commensal" = eat at the same table
What happens during inflammation? -ANSWER✅✅✅•During inflammation, blood
supply to the area increases, heat in the area will slow the microbe reproduction,
macrophages are there to help stop the pathogen
•The innate immune response starts first (this is determines by the genes you inherited
from your parents
-Adaptive cells (T and B change the genes for their receptors)
-Innate response consists of two parts
-Recognition
-Recruitment of effect mechanisms (cells)
Innate Immune system -ANSWER✅✅✅•Is the first line of defense against infections
,•It works rapidly
•Gives rise to the acute inflammatory response
•Has some specificity for microbes
•Uses different receptors to recognize pathogens
Adaptive Immune system -ANSWER✅✅✅•Takes longer to develop (~7 days)
•Is highly specific for antigens, including those associated with microbes
•Uses one type od receptor to recognize many different pathogens
•Primary immune response = first time the adaptive immune response is activated
against a pathogen.
•Secondary immune response = any time the adaptive immune response is activated
against a pathogen that it has been exposed to before
•Remembers that it has encountered a microbe previously
•(i.e. shows memory)
Both Innate and Adaptive systems work together through? -ANSWER✅✅✅•Direct cell
contact
•Interactions involving chemical mediators
•Cytokines and Chemokines
Many of the cells of the innate immune system are the? -ANSWER✅✅✅Same cells
used by the adaptive immune system
Vaccinations require that the innate immune system is? -ANSWER✅✅✅Engaged in
order to provide memory.
Adaptive response lymphocytes? -ANSWER✅✅✅B and T
Innate response lymphocytes? -ANSWER✅✅✅NK cells
Lymphocytes are considered? -ANSWER✅✅✅Leukocytes
What are 3 Granulocytes? -ANSWER✅✅✅Basophils- less than 1%
Eosinophils- 1-6%
Neutrophils- 40-75%
Gram negative is what color? -ANSWER✅✅✅Pink
Gram positive is what color? -ANSWER✅✅✅Purple
And example of fungal infection is? -ANSWER✅✅✅candida albicans which causes
thrush
What is the first line of external defense against infection? -ANSWER✅✅✅Skin
, Defensins do what? -ANSWER✅✅✅Poke holes in the pathogen
When the skin and mucosal barriers are breached what happens? -ANSWER✅✅✅The
immune system responds
Inflammation has what 3 parts? -ANSWER✅✅✅Increases blood supply to the area
Increased heat in the area will slow the microbe reproduction
Macrophages are there to help stop the pathogen
Complement is apart of the innate or adaptive system? -ANSWER✅✅✅Innate
The adaptive immune system is more? -ANSWER✅✅✅Variabile
Vaccinations require that the? -ANSWER✅✅✅Innate immune system is engaged in
order to provide memory.
A single lymphocyte will have a receptor with a? -ANSWER✅✅✅Single specificity.
One cell may have many receptors (~120,000) but all will recognize the same epitope.
Generally takes about a ___________ before the benefits of a primary immune
response are realized. -ANSWER✅✅✅Week
An antigen can have? -ANSWER✅✅✅Multiple epitopes
On the BCR the peritope binds to the? -ANSWER✅✅✅Epitope
Affinity is the? -ANSWER✅✅✅Strength that it binds
The peritope will get better with time and will have a higher? -ANSWER✅✅✅Sffinity to
bind to the epitope
Lymphoid cells - -ANSWER✅✅✅20-50% of white blood cells (not in tissue)
T cells, B cells, and NK cells
Mononuclear phagocytes - -ANSWER✅✅✅Monocytes that circulate in the blood and
Macrophages found in tissues
Granulocytic cells - These are called granulocytes -ANSWER✅✅✅Neutrophils
Eosinophils
Basophils
-based on morphology and cytoplasmic staining characteristics
Dendritic cells - -ANSWER✅✅✅Main function is the presentation of antigen to T cells
