Biologist ___________________________ Date ______________ 35-3 and 35-4 PowerPoint Notes Acquired Immunity The injection of a weakened form of a pathogen, or of a similar but less dangerous pathogen, to produce immunity is known as a ______________. The term comes from the Latin word vacca, meaning “cow,” as a reminder of Jenner’s work. Active immunity may develop as a result of natural exposure to an __________ (fighting an infection) or from deliberate exposure to the antigen (through a vaccine). The immune system produces memory B cells and memory T cells that quicken and __________ the body’s response to repeated infection. Passive Immunity Antibodies produced against a pathogen by other individuals or animals can be used to produce __________ immunity. If externally produced antibodies are introduced into a person’s blood, the result is passive immunity. Passive immunity lasts only a __________ time because the immune system eventually destroys the foreign antibodies. Example: Breast milk, __________ mothers, rabies antibodies (vaccine). Public Health and Medications How do public health measures and medications fight disease? Public health measures help prevent disease by monitoring and regulating food and __________ supplies, promoting __________, and promoting ways that avoid __________. Antibiotics can kill bacteria, and some antiviral medications can slow down viral __________. New and Re-Emerging Diseases Why have patterns of infectious diseases changed? Two major reasons for the emergence of new diseases are the ongoing merging of human and __________ habitats and the increase in the __________ animal trade. ______ of medications has led to the re-emergence of diseases that many people thought were under control. Misuse of Medications For example, many strains of the pathogens that cause tuberculosis and __________ are evolving resistance to a wide variety of antibiotics and other medications. In addition, diseases such as measles are making a comeback because some people __________ to follow vaccination recommendations. When the Immune System “Misfires” The immune systems of some people __________ to harmless antigens, such as pollen, dust mites, mold, and pet dander. A strong immune response to harmless antigens can produce allergies, asthma, and autoimmune disease. Allergies When allergens enter the body of people affected by allergies, they trigger an __________ response by causing mast cells to release histamines. If this response occurs in the respiratory system, it increases __________ production and causes sneezing, watery eyes, a runny nose, and other irritations. Drugs called antihistamines help relieve allergy symptoms by counteracting the effects of ________. Asthma Asthma is a __________ disease in which air passages narrow, causing wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Both hereditary and __________ factors influence asthma symptoms. Asthma attacks can be triggered by respiratory infections, __________, emotional stress, and certain medications. Other triggers include cold or dry air, pollen, dust, tobacco smoke, pollution, molds, and pet dander. Autoimmune Diseases Sometimes a disease occurs in which the immune system fails to properly recognize “__________,” and it attacks cells or compounds in the body as though they were pathogens. When the immune system attacks the body’s own cells, it produces an autoimmune disease. Examples of autoimmune diseases are Type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and __________. HIV HIV is deadly for two reasons. First, HIV can __________ from the defenses of the immune system. Second, HIV attacks key cells within the __________ system, leaving the body with inadequate protection against other pathogens. HIV is a retrovirus that carries its genetic information in RNA, rather than __________. When HIV attacks a cell, it binds to receptor molecules on the cell membrane and inserts its contents into the cell. Target: T Cells HIV travels through the blood, where it binds to __________ T cells—the command centers of the specific immune response. Once inside the cell, the virus directs the cell to produce many new viruses and releases them back into the blood to infect new cells. Over time, HIV destroys more and more T cells, __________ the ability of the immune system to fight HIV and other pathogens. The fewer helper T cells, the more advanced the disease, and the more susceptible the __________ becomes to other diseases. When an HIV-infected person’s T cell count reaches about one sixth the normal level, he or she is diagnosed with __________. HIV Transmission Although HIV is deadly, it is not easily __________. It is not transmitted through coughing, sneezing, sharing clothes, or other forms of casual contact. HIV can only be transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal secretions, or breast milk. The four main ways that HIV is transmitted is through sexual intercourse with an infected person, sharing needles with an infected person, contact with infected blood or blood products, or from an infected mother to her child during pregnancy, birth, or breast-feeding. Can AIDS Be Cured? At present, there is no __________ for AIDS. New drugs, however, make it possible to survive HIV infection for __________. Unfortunately, HIV mutates and evolves rapidly. The virus has evolved into many strains that are resistant to most drugs used against them. No one has developed a vaccine that offers protection for any length of time. At present, the only way to control the virus is to use a combination of __________ drugs that fight the virus in several ways. Current drugs interfere with the enzymes HIV uses to insert its RNA into a host cell, to convert RNA to DNA, and to integrate its DNA into the host’s DNA. The knowledge that HIV can be treated has given some people the idea that HIV infection is not serious. However, that idea is __________ wrong, because there is no cure for HIV.
