Acquired (Learned) Immunity

-develops as a result of exposure to an antigen -relies on the recognition of specific foreign antigens -divided into two mechanism *the cell- mediated response--> involving T-cell activation *the effector mechanism --> involving B-cell maturation and production of antibodies -both are active acquired immunity, when the immunologic defenses are developed by the person's own body and passive temporary immunity is transmitted from a source outside the body that has developed immunity through previous disease or immunizations -vaccinations or Immune globulin injections

Pruritus and hyperirritability of the skin are the most consistent features of _______?

immune-complex type III hypersensitivity reaction

Serum Sickness is an ________ hypersensitivity reaction

False

T/F Interferons modify the immune response by suppressing antibody production and humoral immunity.

False

T/F Most immune responses to antigens involve either humoral or cellular responses, not both.

True

T/F Natural immunity provides a nonspecific response to any foreign pathogen, regardless of the pathogen's composition.

True (stopping immune response)

T/F Suppressor T-cells have the ability to decrease B-cell production.

True

T/F lymph nodes are the centers for immune cell proliferation.

True Rationale: The body accomplishes recognition using lymph nodes and lymphocytes for surveillance. Lymph nodes continuously discharge lymphocytes into the bloodstream. These lymphocytes patrol the tissues and vessels that drain the areas served by that node.

T/F: The recognition stage of the immune response is dependent on the actions of lymphocytes and the lymph nodes.

False Rationale: Results of laboratory blood studies provide supportive data for various diagnostic possibilities; however, they are not the major criteria for the diagnosis of allergic disease. Accurate diagnosis usually involves skin testing, RAST, or provocative testing.

T/F: Most allergic diseases can be diagnosed through laboratory blood studies.

D. Humoral immunity Rationale: Immunization prompts the production of antibodies, which is a function of the humoral immune response. Inflammation, phagocytosis, and cellular immunity do not play central roles in this protective mechanism.

The protective effects of a vaccination are a result of what immune process? A. Inflammation B. Cellular immunity C. The phagocytic immune response D. Humoral immunity
