Immunology/Microbiology Physiology :)

What is MHC III presented on?

[blank_start]B[blank_end][blank_start]7[blank_end]-[blank_start]C[blank_end][blank_start]2[blank_end][blank_start]8[blank_end] is known as the co-stimulatory response. It is an interaction between T Helper cell and the [blank_start]dendritic[blank_end] cell that assists with T4 helper cell [blank_start]maturation[blank_end].

The classical complement cascade is only triggered during bacterial infections.

[blank_start]C[blank_end] [blank_start]reactive[blank_end] [blank_start]protein[blank_end] is a PAMP raised only in bacteria that helps with complement binding.

Complement encourages platelet agglutination.

Unmethylated DNA can be considered a PAMP.

What are the hematopoietic organs of the body?

Hypersensitivity is a form of immunodeficiency.

Which of these are central lymphoid organs?

Thymus increases in size as one grows from childhood to adulthood.

What are secondary lymphoid organs?

The spleen is found anatomically in the [blank_start]upper[blank_end] [blank_start]left[blank_end] [blank_start]quadrant[blank_end], between ribs [blank_start]9[blank_end]-[blank_start]11[blank_end]. spleen filters out blood cells every [blank_start]120[blank_end] days. In the case of anemia, red blood cells are [blank_start]stored[blank_end].

The spleen is at danger of

The splenic artery comes from the [blank_start]celiac[blank_end] [blank_start]trunk[blank_end].

[blank_start]Metazoa[blank_end] are multicellular parasites. [blank_start]Protozoa[blank_end] are unicellular parasites. [blank_start]Helminths[blank_end] are specifically worms, a type of parasite.

Viruses are metabolically active.

Label the parts of a virus?

What is often a therapeutic target for drugs?

Viral testing: If you want to know whether one has had a viral action before or is currently having one: [blank_start]PCR[blank_end] ([blank_start]polymerase[blank_end] [blank_start]chain[blank_end] [blank_start]reaction[blank_end]) and [blank_start]Antibody[blank_end] tests. An example of such a test is a [blank_start]COOMB's[blank_end] test, which checks whether something is due to an autoimmune reason or a virus reason. An [blank_start]oxidative[blank_end] [blank_start]burst[blank_end] test checks for neutrophil functionality.

Ebola is a [blank_start]hemmavirus[blank_end] and hence, causes a [blank_start]hemmorhagic[blank_end] [blank_start]fever[blank_end] and which will lead to the patient bleeding out.

Parts of a bacteria?

What are the types of bacteria?

Bacteria are classified according to their response to antibodies.

Gram staining: staining of the [blank_start]bacteria[blank_end], specifically of the [blank_start]cell[blank_end] [blank_start]wall[blank_end]. Process: 1. Wash bacteria with [blank_start]purple[blank_end] dye 2. Wash dye out 3. Wash bacteria with [blank_start]pink[blank_end] dye 4. Wash dye out

Gram staining can result in: Gram [blank_start]negative[blank_end] LPS ([blank_start]lipopolysaccharide[blank_end]) color [blank_start]Pink[blank_end]/Red [blank_start]Thin[blank_end] outer wall [blank_start]Outer[blank_end] and [blank_start]inner[blank_end] membranes these bacteria generally live in dry places Atypical, or aka [blank_start]Acid[blank_end] [blank_start]Fast[blank_end] Gram [blank_start]positive[blank_end] [blank_start]Lipoteichoic[blank_end] [blank_start]Acid[blank_end] (LTS) Color [blank_start]Purple[blank_end]/Blue [blank_start]Thick[blank_end] outer wall [blank_start]Inner[blank_end] membrane these bacteria live in wet places

[blank_start]Bacteriophages[blank_end] are viruses that only infect bacteria.

[blank_start]Fungi[blank_end] are important opportunistic infections and indeed, the [blank_start]immunosuppressed[blank_end] often get these type of infections.

Parasites are very [blank_start]metabolically[blank_end] similar to humans.

[blank_start]Anti[blank_end]-[blank_start]D[blank_end] [blank_start]immunoglobulin[blank_end] [blank_start]treatments[blank_end] (ex: Rhogam) are given to women at risk of Rhesus disease.

[blank_start]Molecular[blank_end] [blank_start]mimicry[blank_end] is the body's antibody response once it is exposed to an antigen.

Packed Blood still contains some plasma.

The possibility of creating antibodies is seen with...
