Review Words for Immune System Test Immune Response: recognizes antigen on pathogen and produces antibodies to fight it off Antigen: protein that identifies the pathogen or donated organ as being foreign Antibodies: produced by White Blood Cells, specific to antigens Pathogen: disease causing organism, microbe, virus, bacteria, fungus, parasite Active Immunity o Body makes antibodies o Ex: vaccine, getting sick with the live pathogen o Long lasting immunity Passive Immunity o Antibodies are given to the individual (body does not make them) o Ex: mother to child (breast milk), injection of antibodies o Short term immunity Vaccine: dead/weakened pathogen is injected (pathogen still has the foreign antigen on it), vaccine is specific to the disease- body will produce antibodies against that disease White Blood Cells: Lymphocytes, produce antibodies HIV/AIDS: virus, weakens immune system (destroys WBC’s) Immunity: An individual will not get the disease even if they come in contact with it. Allergies: reaction to a harmless substance, releases histamine which causes symptoms Organ transplants: rejection (antibodies produced) because sees the antigen on the organ as foreign. Immunosuppressant drugs: weakens the immune system so will not have an immune response (produce antibodies), prevents rejection of an organ
