1
New cards

when does the adaptive immune system respond?

days after being exposed to a microbe

2
New cards

what shows antigens to the cells of the adaptive immune system?

antigen presenting cells of the innate immune system

3
New cards

Two forms of an adaptive immune response: ??

humoral immune response and the cell-mediated immune response

4
New cards

Humoral → _ ____ activation → antibody production

B cell

5
New cards

Cell-mediated → ______ __ __________ activation → infected host cell
destruction

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte

6
New cards

Proteins that are found on the surfaces of cells that help immune system cells
recognize foreign substance

MHC proteins

7
New cards

All human cells (except red blood cells) have ______ on their cell surfaces

MHC l

8
New cards

Immune cells like macrophages, dendritic cells, and lymphocytes (B and T cells) have both _____ and ______

MHC-I and MHC-II

9
New cards

Antigens loaded onto MHC-I have an _________ (endogenous) origin

intracellular

10
New cards

_________ antigens are made by viruses and intracellular bacteria that grow
within the cytoplasm of the host cell and become attached to MHC-I
molecules on the ER surface

Endogenous

11
New cards

MHC-I only binds to what?

CD8+ receptors on cytotoxic T cells

12
New cards

what triggers a cell-mediated response?

MHC-l binding to CD8+ receptors on cytotoxic T cells

13
New cards

Antigens loaded onto MHC-II have an _______ (exogenous) origin

extracellular

14
New cards

_______ antigens are made from phagocytotic cells breaking down
microbial cells that are causing infection outside of human cells

Exogenous

15
New cards

When Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) phagocytose and ________
microbes and produce antigens, those antigens get loaded onto MHC-II
proteins

break down

16
New cards

MHC-II of APCs present antigen to naïve ….

CD4+ helper T cells

17
New cards

What triggers those helper T cells differentiate into Type 1 or Type 2

helper T cells, which will go aid in activating Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes or B

cells, respectively?

MHC-II of APCs present antigen to naïve CD4+ helper T cells

18
New cards

_____ _ _____ aid in activating the side of the adaptive immune system (Humoral or Cell- mediated) will predominate in response to a particular antigen

Helper T cells

19
New cards

APCs will show naïve helper T cells their antigens and will release chemicals in the form of ______ to trigger the helper T cells to differentiate into either TH1 Cells or TH2 Cells

cytokines

20
New cards

This class of helper T cells aid in activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes for a cell mediated response

th1 cells

21
New cards

TH1 Cells release cytokines in the form of IL-2 to stimulate the _____ _____ necessary for Cytotoxic T lymphocyte activation

third signal

22
New cards

what activates the Cytotoxic T cell into an Activated Cytotoxic T
lymphocyte to go and find the human cells that have that infection to
destroy them?

th1 cells releasing cytokines in the form of IL-2 to stimulate the third signal

23
New cards

This class of helper T cells aid in activation of B cells for a humoral
response

th2 cells

24
New cards

TH2 cells will bind to the______ on B cells

MHC-II

25
New cards

B cell MHC-II will be presenting the _____ antigen match that the
APC cell showed to the naïve helper T cell to trigger differentiation in to a TH2 T cell

same

26
New cards

what will allow for the th2 cell to bind to the MHC-ll?

the B cell MHC-ll presenting the same antigen on the B cell

27
New cards

presentation of antigen on the B cell will allow for the TH2 cell to bind to the MHC-Il

signal 1 of activation

28
New cards

_____ on the B cell binds to CD40L on the TH2 cell (signal 2 of activation)

CD40

29
New cards

what activates the B cell to undergo antibody class switching and produce plasma cells and memory cells?

CD40 on the B cell binds to CD40L on the TH2 cell

30
New cards

when does cell-mediated immunity begin?

when an APC presents an antigen on its MHC-I to an inactive cytotoxic T cell

31
New cards

Histocompatibility Complex Interaction – MHC 1 on APC binds and shows
antigen to the matching CD8 T cell receptor of the CTL

signal 1 activation

32
New cards


Co-Stimulation – molecular interaction between CD28 on the T cell and the B7 molecule on the APC

signal 2 activation

33
New cards


Chemical Cytokine Signaling – the activated CD4 TH1 Helper T cell releases the cytokine IL-2 to finish the CTL activation

signal 3 activation

34
New cards

the cytotoxic T cell will proliferate and become an Activated Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte (CTL)

final step

35
New cards

The ____ will leave the lymph node and will travel to the infection site and kill any cell bearing the same peptide-MHC-I complex that triggered the activation

CTL

36
New cards

Human Cell Death by CTL

  • A CTL binds to an infected human cell via ____

MHC-l

37
New cards

Human Cell Death by CTL

The CTL makes a _______ ____ into the human cell so it can push granzymes
into the target human cell

perforin pore

38
New cards

Human Cell Death by CTL

The _________ trigger cell damage in the form of mitochondrial, DNA, etc. and
eventually triggers the human cell into apoptosis

granzymes

39
New cards

Antibodies belong to the family of proteins called __________

immunoglobulins

40
New cards

Antibodies consist of 4 polypeptide chains – two heavy chains and 2 light chains – this forms a _ shape structure

41
New cards

This Y shape allows for ____ antigen binding sites, but only one type of antigen
