BiologyHealth, illness and diseaseASAQA Created by: katyrmCreated on: 21-08-16 12:50 Antibodies Immunoglobular proteins with 2 specific, identical antigen binding sites 1 of 12 Monoclonal antibodies Antibodies produced from a single group of B cells, isolated from the body, and harvested in a lab 2 of 12 Neutrophils Made in the bone marrow, found in tissue fluid 3 of 12 Macrophages Made in the bone marrow, fond in organs e.g. lymph nodes. Part of the specific response 4 of 12 Antigens Proteins on the surface of an organism that are recognised by the immune system as non-self and produce an immune response such as antibody production 5 of 12 Vaccination Artifical immunity, containing the appropriate disease antigens to stimulate antibody production. Can be administered via mouth or injection 6 of 12 Herd immunity When the majority of the population is vaccinated, meaning the disease will not likely spread 7 of 12 Agentic variability When a pathogen mutates and the immune system can no longer recognise the new antigens and won't be able to fight it 8 of 12 Active immunity Bodies own immune system reacts to an antigen by producing antibodies, direct contact with antigen. Can be passive/active 9 of 12 Passive immunity Introduction of antibody from another organisms immune system 10 of 12 Natural active immunity Immunity gained from being infected by a pathogen and producing it's own antibodies without any help 11 of 12 Passive active immunity Immunity gained from a vaccination.
