Acute phase repsonse
BACTERIA induced MACROPHAGES to produce IL-6 and IL-1 -> hepatocytes -> acute phase proteins (C-reactive protein, mannose-binding lectin, SP-A and SP-D)
C-reactive protein
binds to bacterial and fungal cell walls
Epitopes
regions of 3D structure on an antigen that ABs bind
Antiserum
AB production to a specific antigen
O-antigens
Lipopolysaccarides on the surface of the bacterial cell wall
H-antigens
flagellar proteins of bacteria
Serotype
a subclass of a bacterial species that differs in O- and H- antigens
Vaccines
antigen preparations to stimulae normal immune response (memory cel and secondary memory response)
Neutralization
AB binding to pathogens or antigens -> preventing harm (ie. binding to host)
Opsonization
AB binding -> changes surface of pathogen or antigen -> allows for phagocytosis
