Document Summary

Damage is due to leukocytes and fluids coming into the central nervous system. Igg opsonizes the (cid:272)apsulated pathogen (cid:271)e(cid:272)ause (cid:271)efore they (cid:272)ouldn"t. (cid:272)an"t opsonize (cid:271)e(cid:272)ause even if the anti(cid:271)odies (cid:271)ind to the (cid:272)apsulated pathogen, the phago(cid:272)ytes. Fcr (cid:272)an"t get pass the (cid:272)apsule to get to fc portion of the anti(cid:271)ody. Opsonisation is better than complement only a larger scale because they can present pathogenic antigens and because it does not cause inflammation. Carbohydrate antigens can not be presented therefore some immune cells can not be made. They can be crosslinked by bcrs, the b cell will take it in through endocytosis plasma cells will make igm (no memory cells) If the t-independent antigen is a protein like flagella, the b cell can present the peptide on. Igm are part of the innate immune system. It has 10 binding sites so it can grab many cells at one time.
