Document Summary

Have a good understanding of the following terms . Antigen: a toxin or other foreign substance that induces an immune response in the body, blood cells that have surface proteins, allows body to identify these cells as self or of the body . Antibody: white blood cell produced in response to a foreign antigen, responds to an antigen. Histamine: a compound that is released by cells in response to injury and in allergic and inflammatory reactions, causing contraction of smooth muscle and dilation of capillaries. Auto-immune disease: cause abnormally low activity or over activity of the immune system, the body (antibodies) attacks and damages its own tissues, decrease the body"s ability to fight invaders, causing vulnerability to infection. Interferon: a protein released by animal cells, usually in response to the entry of a virus, that has the property of inhibiting virus replication.

MATCH the terms with the definitions and/or examples. Someresponses are used twice while others may not be used at all.

A acquired immunodeficiency

B type IV hypersensitivity

C autoimmune disease

D primary immunodeficiency

E type I hypersensitivity

1.a condition that is present from birth when a patient can'tmount a proper immune response due to a genetic or developmentaldefect

2.the end result of HIV infection

3.a localized or systemic allergic response that results fromthe production of IgEs and the release of histamines fromsensitized granulocytes when an antigen is encountered

4.a condition that occurs when the immune system producesantibodies or cytotoxic T cells that attack normal body cells

5.a type of allergic reaction that develops 12 - 24 hours afterexposure to the antigen, caused by the migration of antigenpresenting cells and T-cells to the site of exposure to theallergen

6.Graves' disease, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupuserythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and pernicious anemia

7.SCID: "Bubble Boy" Disease
