Is adaptive immunity engaged during both a primary and a secondary immune response? What about innate immunity? In other words, what is the relationship, if any, between innate/adaptive and primary/secondary immune responses?

Adaptive and innate immunity are engaged in both the primary and secondary immune responses

Which of the following statements about DAMPS and PAMPS is false? A. DAMPS only come from self-structures, not pathogens B. PAMPS come from pathogens or foreign structures C. Recognition of DAMPS helps clear dead and dying host cells D. Both can result in inflammation E. None of the above is false

E

True or false: Primary lymphoid organs are where lymphocytes develop and become activated.

False: Lymphocytes develop in the thymus and bone marrow. Once developed the lymphocytes travel to the primary lymphoid organs to become activated.

What endogenous molecules are produced or released from a damaged cell?

Where do B and T cells develop?

activation of innate immune system produces

signal molecules called cytokines

innate immune system organs

specialized white blood cells that patrol the body searching for antigens that produce infections

secondary lymphoid organs

spleen and lymph nodes

Basophils

A circulating leukocyte that produces histamine.

Neutrophils

A type of white blood cell that engulfs invading microbes and contributes to the nonspecific defenses of the body against disease.

First Responder" cells involved in the early stages of an innate immune response are more likely to come from which of the following cell types? A. Common myeloid progenitor (CMP) B. Common lymphoid progenitor (CLP) C. T-cell progenitor D. B-cell progenitor E. First responders are equally likely to arise from any of the above progenitors.

A: CMPs play an important role in host defense, they are osteoclast precursors. They can differentiate into other types of cells depending on what pathogen is present in the body at that time.

monocytes

An agranular leukocyte that is able to migrate into tissues and transform into a macrophage.

Based on shared versus unique properties, which two categories of pathogen do you think might be treated most differently by the immune response? A. viruses and intracellular bacteria B. viruses and extracellular parasites C. extracellular bacteria and extracellular parasites D. fungi and extracellular parasites

B Because viruses are found inside of the body whereas extracellular parasites are found outside of the body (on surfaces like skin and mucous membranes). Since these two pathogens are located in different places different types of immune responses would be present. For example, viruses would use an adaptive immune response whereas the extracellular parasites would use a more innate immune response.

Three main types of cells

B lymphocytes T lymphocytes NK cells

According to the hygiene hypothesis (see Box 1-3), the absence of early exposure to which specific group of infectious agents is most associated with future allergic responses? A. viruses B. bacteria C. fungi D. parasites

D The hygiene hypothesis states that children who are more exposed to different germs and certain parasites during development have a more equipped immune response to other allergens later in life.

True or False: Innate immunity involves soluble products and is a part of humoral immunity, whereas adaptive immunity involves the work of B and T cells, or cell-mediated immunity.

False Cell-mediated immunity uses T cells to detect and destroy foreign/unknown antigens. Humoral immunity utilizes antibodies B cells.

memory cells

General term for lymphocytes that are responsible for immunological memory and protective immunity.

Secondary Immune Response

Immune response after the body has already been exposed to a specific antigen. Response is faster, of greater magnitude, and more prolonged.

primary immune response

Immune response the first time the body is exposed to a particular antigen. Does not peak until 10-17 days after exposure.

PAMPs (pathogen-associated molecular patterns)

Molecules associated with groups of pathogens that are recognized by cells of the innate immune system.

light chains

One of the two types of polypeptide chains that make up an antibody molecule and B cell receptor; consists of a variable region, which contributes to the antigen-binding site, and a constant region.

spleen

Organ near the stomach that produces, stores, and eliminates blood cells

True or False: Secondary lymphoid organs are involved in both primary and secondary immune responses, whereas primary lymphoid organs are not.

True

True or False: All the members of the CLR family of PRRs bind to carbohydrate ligands.

True: CLR molecules act as PRRs in which they detect host molecules for pathogens. Where most of the CLR molecules bind to carbohydrate ligands in a calcium-dependent fashion, using carbohydrate recognition domains. CLRs are important in the detection and capture of pathogens in the body.
