The complete immune response overview from entry of antigen to
the activation of various cells through the immunological
crosstalks are explained in the pictures above.
Respond to the following:
An acquired immune response necessitates exposure to an antigen.
This initial exposure does not always elicit a leukocyte attack but
does program central memory and effector memory T-cell. The innate
system is responsible for triggering an adaptive response; the
reduction of antigens terminates the immune response. As the
infection is eliminated, the quantity of antigens begins to
decline. This creates competition between lymphocytes and reduction
of new lymphocyte differentiation. Expression of inhibitory signals
like CTLA-4, PD-1,...
Describe the graph of the primary and secondary response to an
antigen by the human humoral (B cell-mediated) immune system; what
is would the X-axis be labeled and what would the Y-axis
labeled?
Describe two arms of the immune response, types of recognition
proteins utilized by the immune system, and elaborate on how an
antibody molecule achieves high specificity for its antigen
Antigen processing would involve which of the following for antigen
-presenting cells?
The immune cells take peptides 8 - 10 amino acids long
directly from which organelle in the cytosol?
How does the immune system recognize that a cell is infected
with a virus?
