    Study Notes

    Immunity Definition

    • Immunity is the body's defense against infectious agents, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other foreign substances.

    Exclusion from Immunity

    • Emotional states, such as fear or anxiety, are not considered part of the body's immune response.

    Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)

    • MHC is responsible for presenting antigens to T-cells, triggering an immune response.

    Antigen-Antibody Reactions

    • The binding of an antibody to a non-specific molecule is not an antigen-antibody reaction.

    Hypergammaglobulinemia

    • Hypergammaglobulinemia is a condition characterized by an excessive level of antibodies (gammaglobulins) in the blood, which can be a sign of immune system disorders.
