2. the production of antibody molecules against pathogens
3. a set of barrier defenses that adapts to specific pathogens after repeated exposure
4. a generalized set of defenses against a variety of pathogens that lacks immunological memory.

- This week you learned about the role that macrophages, neutrophils, and cytokines play in the innate immune response and looked at how they contribute to the development of inflammation and the inflammatory and the acute phase response. In certain bacterial illnesses, particularly lung infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a physician may not treat the patient with antibiotics (which will kill the microorganisms), but rather give the patient anti-inflammatory medications. Why might a physician choose to inhibit inflammation in the case of an infection? What types of damage might the inflammatory response do to the surrounding tissues, not just the bacteria it was designed to combat?arrow_forwardWhat are the two phases of the inflammatory response? Question 6 options: Innate and adaptive Complement and coagulation Bacterial and viral Cellular and vasculararrow_forwardWhich conditions may result from immunoglobulin IgE antibodies on mast cells reacting with antigens?

- The innate immunity system clears about what percentage of the invading pathogens? 0.90% 50% 0 10% 0 1%arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between non-specific and specific defenses? Contrast the two methods of defense, why are they important ?arrow_forwardJohnny has just been infected and needs your help in letting him know how his body is fighting the infection. To do so, describe how the innate and adaptive immune systems work together. You should address the following: 1. define adaptive and innate immunity; 2. Describe the role of natural killer cells (how do they work); 3. what are antigen presenting cells and what is their function, what are MHCs?; 4. describe the role of the complement system; 5. what is the role of interferons?; 6. How do helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells and B lymphocytes work make sure you address adaptive immunity memory?; 7. Define HIV, which cells do they attack and why do some individuals develop persistent lymphadenopathy (swollen or enlarged lymph nodes)?arrow_forward
