How many types of “foreign molecules” (use the proper term where needed) does each cell recognize? On the pathogen side – what molecules will be recognized by these immune cells? (no need for specific names, just a few examples of pathogen molecules that will trigger an immune response) Bloodwork indicates that a patient who has pneumonia is actively secreting different forms of antibody against Streptococcus pneumoniae. Explain how the patient can respond to this pathogen by secreting more than one antibody.

The Adaptive Immune Response Is a Specific Defense Against Infection Identify the components of cellular immunity, and define their roles in the immune response.
Macrophages and neutrophils both contribute to extracellular pathogen protection. Describe their common characteristics, differences in structure and function, and if one were eliminated from the innate immune response, explain which one would be more detrimental to the body and why.
Immunity can be acquired in an active or passive way, and it can be natural or artificial. For this discussion describe passive and active immunity and how each can be natural and artifical. What is an example of natural immunity acquired passively?
In your own personal understanding, why are complements important in cellular and humoral mediated immunity? please answer in a minimum of 5 sentences.
Emil has fallen and scratched a wound on his knee. After a while, the knee swells and aches at the same time as it was pushing out of the wound. One week later, the wound has healed and the swelling is gone. Explain what happens in the comic strip below, from Figure 1-6. The following words should be used in the descriptive text; phagocytosis, pattern recognition receptors, pathogen associated molecular patterns, antigen presenting cell, migration, neutrophil, antigen, antibody, opsonization, MAC complex, mechanical barrier, microorganism, lymphatic vessel, memory T cell, helper T cell, B cell, memory B-cell, blood vessel, cardinal sign, lymph node, MHC, T-cell receptor, cell clone, complement, specificity, dendritic cell, macrophage, opsonin, plas
Although the complement cascade can be initiated by antibodies bound to the surface of a pathogen, complement activation is generally considered to be an innate immune response. This is because: Two of the three pathways for complement activation are initiated by constitutively produced recognition molecules that directly interact with microbial surfaces. When the complement cascade leads to the formation of a membrane-attack complex, the pathogen is killed. Several of the soluble products generated by complement activation lead promote the inflammatory response. Complement proteins bound to the pathogen promote uptake and destruction by phagocytic cells. The C3 convertase is only produced when complement activation is initiated by antibody binding to a pathogen.
What cells are involved in cell mediated and the humoral immune response? Explain the major outcome of both mechanisms.
Two BMI2607 students are studying for the May/June exam, when they reach a learning unit on the body’s defensive systems. One of them insists that complement is part of the nonspecific second line of defense, but the partner insists that complement is part of an antibody immune response in the third line of defense. As the third person to join them, discuss how would you explain to them that they are both correct?
Explain the meaning of an immune response. List two general components of the immune system. Discuss the role of T-cell and B-cell lymphocytes. Differentiate between an antigen and an antibody. Name examples of lymphoid tissue. List some cells and chemicals that enhance the function of the immune system. Discuss the function of the complement cascade. Name three types of immunity, describing how each develops. Discuss techniques for detecting immune disorders. Describe the role of the nurse when caring for a client with an immune disorder.
Opsonization of pathogens by both antibodies and complement proteins (C3b) leads to uptake and destruction of the pathogen by phagocytic cells that express both Fc receptors and complement receptors. Which of the following in the figure below is the most efficient form of dual opsonization of the pathogen by antibody and C3b to maximize phagocytosis?
What is the function of mucus in preventing infections? Group of answer choices To stimulate the complement system when pathogens are present To trap pathogens so that they cannot penetrate deeper into the tissues To inhibit growth of microbes by having a highly basic pH To make antibody-antigen binding more efficient
What will happen to the human immune system when a microorganism invading the body lacks the inherent ability to activate complement or bind to phagocytes?
