Unit 3-Definitions
Antibody (immunoglobulin)-a globulin manufactured by plasma cells in response
to contact with a foreign antigen
Auto-antibody-an antibody formed against one’s own cells or tissue components.
Memory Cells-lymphoid cells that retain a “memory” of an antigen that induced
sensitization.
Sensitized lymphocyte-end product of cell-mediated immunity
Plasma Cell-assist in the development of antibodies in the humoral immunity
Antigen-any substance that can stimulate the formation of an antibody
Macrophage-a waundering phagocytic cell in the blood.
Infectivity-capacity of an agent to enter and multiply in a susceptible host.
Antigenicity (Immunogenicity)ability of an agent to induce antibody production in
host.
Toxicity/Toxigenicity-ability of an agent to produce a toxin or poison.
Virulence-severity of disease (case fatality rate)
Resistance-ability of the agent to survive adverse environmental conditions
Mediators-chemical agents released form mast cells and certain blood proteins in
response to tissue injury.
Pathogenicity-ability of an agent to cause disease in a susceptible host.
Nosocomial-a disease that originates or takes place in a hospital.
Septicemia-invasion of the bloodstream by virulent microorganisms from a focus
of infection that is accompanied by chills, fever, and prostration and often by the
formation of secondary abscesses in various organs -- called also blood
poisoning
