Part 4 The Immune Response (extra credit)
Go to http://www.biology.arizona.edu/immunology/tutorials/immunology/main.html
History of Vaccinations
1. Who is credited with the first vaccine and for what.
2. Who was the English scientists that showed how the vaccine worked using the scientific
method? Tell the story in your own words. Be prepared to share.
Discrimination of self from nonself
1. What does this statement mean?
Work through the problem set – Tutorials included
1.
A pathogen is a type of antigen.
2. Expectant parents now have the option to save their baby's "cord blood" (blood from the umbilical
cord) immediately following birth. This cord blood can be transplanted into individuals whose blood
has been damaged by diseases such as leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and sickle cell anemia. Saved
cord blood is a perfect match for the baby it came from, and can also be useful in treating
relatives of the baby. What cells should be harvested from the cord blood to best treat patients
with blood diseases?
3. Immediately following a break in the skin, phagocytes engulf bacteria within the wound. This is an
example of an ______________________________ immune response which is
______________________________ against a pathogen.
4. ____________ are responsible for the production of antibody against free pathogens and soluble
products from pathogens while ____________ destroy pathogen and virally infected cells and
abnormal cells.
5. The ability to produce billions of different antibodies in humans results from:
6. Antigen combining sites: If a B cell clone began to produce antibody with altered binding strength
and specificity for antigen, you would expect the mutation of the antibody gene to involve:
7. Allergies result from the production of _________ directed against an antigen.
8. Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infects endothelial cells and B cells. About half of us are infected by the
virus while very young, and do not suffer disease. Around half of individuals who avoid the virus
while young are infected in the teenage years and develop a disease called mononucleosis. In this
disease, lymph nodes swell painfully as our immune system produces large numbers of lymphocytes
to eliminate virus-producing cells. These lymphocytes are probably:
9. The clonal selection theory of antibody diversity says:
10. Regulation by MHC: The significance of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in the immune
response:
11. The lack of an immune response to self is called:
12.
Monoclonal antibodies:Within the body, a B cell with a specific antibody can undergo clonal
expansion (make many copies of itself) in the absence of antigen.
