NUTR 513 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Immunoglobulin G, Prostaglandin, Autoimmunity
Document Summary
Individual variability exists between persons" stress responses: strategies: relaxation, distraction, and biofeedback. In place to respond to antigens that break the first line: four components: inflammatory response, pyrogens, interferons, and complement proteins. Igg: 80-85% of plasma antibodies, major antibody found in fetal blood, main defense against bacteria, tells you if you are immune to something b. Igm: largest immunoglobulin, first ig produced during the initial response to an antigen if you have a current or recent infection, body secretions like breast milk c. Ige: allergic reactions or parasitic infections, primary and secondary response, primary, when antigen first enters body ii. Igm levels: secondary, anamnestic immune response ii. Involves the destruction of a target cell by an antibody-directed, cell- surface antigen. Inflammation and antigen destruction: examples: tuberculin skin testing, transplant reactions, and contact dermatitis. Dna: the dna then becomes integrated into the cd4 cell"s dna, hiv infectious process takes three forms immunodeficiency, autoimmunity, and neurologic dysfunction i.
