Immune Responses and Transplantations ch 13 Anergy: Immunodeficient condition characterized by a lack of or diminished reaction to an antigen or a group of antigens Antigen: A substance that elicits an immune response, most antigens are composed of protein. The immune system becomes “tolerant” or non-responsive to “self” antigens Autoimmunity: Immune response against self if which the immune system no longer differentiates self from non-self. Autoantibodies and auto-sensitized T cells cause pathophysiologic tissue damage. Cell-mediated immunity: Immune responses that are initiated through specific antigen recognition by T cells. Cell types involved are; T cells, Macrophages, and NK cells. Cytokines: Soluble factors secreted by WBCs that act as messengers among the cell types; T cells, B cells, Monocytes, and Neutrophils. Cytokines instruct cells to alter their proliferation, differentiation, secretion, or activity. Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA): Antigens responsible for rejection of genetically unlike tissue. Products of major histocompatibility genes. (HLA) is used primarily to match organs and tissues for transplantation. Humoral Immunity: Consists of antibody-mediated immunity. Humor: Greek word for Body Fluid. Antibodies are made of plasma cells (differentiated B cells) and found in plasma Hypersensitivity Reactions: The immune system is over reactive against foreign antigens or reacts against its own tissue, resulting in tissue damage. Hypersensitivity reactions are classified by: The Source of the Antigen, Time Sequence (immediate or delayed), or Immunologic mechanisms causing the injury. Immunocompetence: Body’s immune system can identify and inactivate or destroy foreign substances Immunodeficiency: When the immune system does not adequately protect the body. Immunosuppressive therapy: lifelong balance between rejection and infection. 1. The immune system must be suppressed to prevent rejection of transplanted organ 2. Adequate immune response must be maintained to prevent overwhelming infection and development of cancers. pg 815 Pg 835 Pg 838 Pg 848 pg 865 Response Normal Immune Immunity : Body's ability to resist Disease 3 Functions Of Immune I.

They act as a critical part of the immune response by specifically recognizing and binding to particular antigens, such as bacteria or viruses, and aiding in their destruction.
