Introduction:
The immune system is defined as the group of cells or tissues or organs that functions against the foreign substance to provide the immunity. The immunity is classified into two categories, innate and adaptive. The innate are non-specific defense mechanism, which acts immediately after the exposure of antigens or foreign substances on the body. The adaptive are antigen-specific immunity that adapts the immune system by formation of immune cells or memory cells for specific antigen.
Adaptive immunity acquires either be actively or passively, when person exposed to microorganism or foreign substances. The active and passive acquired immunity cab be obtained by natural or artificial ways. Based on this, the adaptive immunity is categorized into four types.

- Explain the complement system under the following headlines: 1. Types 2. Activation 3. Complement fixation testarrow_forwardMatch the hypersensitivity to the description. Туре 1 [ Choose| [ Choose] Memory T helper cells release cytokines that recruit and activate macrophages. Antibodies bound to antigens that cause mast cell and PMN degranulation. Туре 2 against cell surface antigens, such as in blood transfusions. IgE mediated and can manifest as eczema or asthma.

Drag answer here Drag answer here Drag answer here Drag answer here temporary rise in oxygen consumption and toxic oxygen species production a notable rise or reduction of plasma proteins in response to IL-6 cellular suicide characterized by DNA fragmentation stimulates inhibition of viral replication migration of neutrophils into inflamed tissuesarrow_forward
- Name two cytokines that are thought to be involved in the inflammatory response to viruses (cite your source). Describe a component of the innate immune response to viral infection (name it and explain how it works. Be sure you are talking about something that protects you from viruses.)arrow_forwardTrue or False: In non-disseminated infections, Mycobacterium species are restrained by type-1 responses which increase macrophage phagocytic activity, NK and T cell activation. True or False: The low-affinity Fcε receptor (FcεRII/CD23) on mast cells will bind to IgE in tissues in the absence of antigen.arrow_forwardComplement is an integral part of the innate immune response to bacteria . One of its mechanisms of action is to behave as an anaphylatoxin Describe the anaphylatoxic effects of complement identifying which components are activated.arrow_forward
- Correctly order the steps in cellular Immunity. Below is a sequence of events. Place them in the order they should occur, number 1 being the first item. Select the step number from the drop down next to each item. Items to order: a) .Cytotoxic T cell (CTL) recognizes the infected host cell b) The CTL secretes perforin and granzyme, causing apoptosis c) The CTL interacts with epitope presented by MHC-I on the dendritic cell d) The helper T cell activates the CTL cellarrow_forwardWrite the main components of type 3 hypersensitivity reaction. Why phagocytic cells cannot phagocytize the formed complexes? And why are tissues damaged during the reaction?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT an example of non-specific (innate) resistance mechanisms interacting directly with specific acquired immunity mechanisms? what option below is the answer? Antibodies binding to bacterial surface antigens, coating (opsonizing) the bacteria and enhancing their phagocytosis by leukocytes Macrophages and dendritic cells presenting antigens to lymphocytes None of the other four answers (All are examples of interaction between innate and acquired resistance) Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity Complement being activated by antigen-antibody bindingarrow_forward
- Write TRUE is the statement is True, otherwise write FALSE and explain why the statement is False. The complement system involves a set of genes that distinguish foreign cells from body cells. The alternative complement activation pathway involves the cleavage of C5 to form C9. The type of interferon present late in an infection is gamma interferon. Interferons cause muscle aches, chills, and fever. Toll-like receptors act to cause phagocytic chemotaxis. Lymphocytes are large agranulocytes. Opsonization occurs when a phagocyte’s pseudopods surround a microbe and fuse to form a sac. Defensins are antimicrobial peptides of the first line of defense.arrow_forward1) According to the video, what is another name for the innate immune sys and what does this system do? 2) According to the video, what causes inflammation and what cells cause it? 3) According to the video, what happens to neutrophils after they consume a pathogen? 4) According to the video, natural killer cells; what do they do? 5) The adaptive/acquired immune system can tell the difference between types of pathogens: true or false? 6) According to the video, helper t- function: 7) According to the video, cytotoxic t cells function: 8) According to the video, memory cells function:arrow_forwardStrep throat is commonly caused by group A Streptococcus bacteria. A common symptom of strep throat is the presence of swollen lymph nodes in the neck. This symptom usually peaks about 2–4 days after the onset of the infection, and is due to: Damage to the pharyngeal epithelium by the bacteria Release of bacterial PAMPs leading to inflammatory cytokine production Trapping and activation of antigen-specific lymphocytes in the lymph nodes of the neck Recruitment of neutrophils to the lymph nodes of the neck Recruitment of circulating macrophages to the lymph nodes of the neckarrow_forward
