Resource summary
Biology - Infection and response
MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES
produced from a single clone of cells
all cells have markers (antigen), microbial antigens seen as 'foreign'
able to target specific cells
inject antigen into mouse
collect spleen cells (where antibody)
fuse spleen cells w/ myeloma cells (cancerous cells)
culture (produce large amounts)
isolate them (chromatography, filtration)
pregnancy tests, produce HCG bind to m. antibodies
anticancer drug to m. antibody for cancer cell antigen
drug only affect cancerous cells no damage to rest of body
too many side effects
diagnosis HIV, herpes, blood hormone levels
HUMAN BODY DEFENCE
1st line of defence: physical + chemical barriers (skin, eyes: antiseptic liquid)
2nd line of defence: phagocytes, engulf pathogens, break down w/ enzymes
3rd line of defence: lymphocytes produce antibodies+ antitoxins
memory lymphocytes: remember anitbody produced, very quickly
1st response, takes long time to produce antibodies for infection,
2nd response more antibodies produce over short period of time
(after reinforcement of booster)
herd immunity
vaccinate 80& of population, less chance coming in contact w/ disease
vaccinations: weakened, live/ genetically modified microbes
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
infectious
transmitted through ...
food
water
air (sneezing,coughing)
touch
virus not alive, only reproduce in cells
fungui
athletes foot
virus
HIV, zika, ebola
bacteria
tuberculosis, MRSA, ringworm
pathogen: a microbe causing disease
DRUGS AND DEVELOPMENT
antibiotics
kill/slow down growth of pathogen
not virus
antifungal
antivirals
prevents viral infections
antibacterial
come under antibiotics, only affects bacteria
paracetamol
antigesic
relieve pain/ awareness of pain
painkillers
antipyretic
reduces temp
aspirin
antiflammatory
bark of willow tree
broken down in liver, damage liver
test on human/animal cell - safe for human body
small no of healthy patients, test for toxicity + monitor side effects
small dose, if no problems more testing
small no of sick patients, test for efficacy
large no of patients, test for dosage (too small: no effect, too much: could be fatal) + side effects
where double blind trials start to happen
some given placebo some given active drug
patients + health care professionals don't know who has what, revealed afterwards
morphine, heroin,tramadol
opiate analgesics
