Exam 15: Adaptive, Specific Immunity and Immunization

Which process involves a more rapid synthesis and greatly increased titer of antibody when the immune system is subsequently exposed to the same antigen?

The differences in the classes of immunoglobulins are due primarily to variations in the Fc fragment.

Edward Jenner's work involved

Cody is 4 months old and is given a DTaP injection by his pediatrician as part of the routine immunization schedule. What type of immunity will develop as a result of this?

Sam works in construction and stepped on a sharp nail. He can't remember the last time he had a tetanus shot. What type of immunity is the most important for him to receive?

Gamma globulin can be given as immunotherapy to confer artificial passive immunity.

Antibody molecules can act as enzyme to directly destroy an antigen.

The monomer subunit of immunoglobulin molecules has all the following, except

Superantigens are

Which sequence of events is correct for a specific immune response?

Killed or inactivated vaccines are prepared by

Vaccinia virus is often used in the technique to make

The immunoglobulin class that has a dimer form found in mucus, saliva, colostrum, and other body secretions is

All of the following are advantages of attenuated vaccines over inactivated vaccines except

Lymphocytes

The molecular fragment on an antigen molecule that a lymphocyte recognizes and responds to is called a/ an
