Learning Objectives: Chapter 17 Learning objectives serve as a guide for your learning. After successfully completing the reading of Chapter 17 (pgs. 468-top479, 485-488) in your text, you should be able to execute the objectives listed below: 1. Define: antibodies, antigen, B cells, T cells, epitopes (antigenic determinants), haptens, immunoglobulins, valence, light chains, heavy chains, variable region, constant region, Fc region, proliferation (clonal expansion), T-dependent antigen, Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), antigen-presenting cells (APCs), plasma cells, memory cells, class switching, T-independent antigen, affinity, agglutination, opsonization, neutralization, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (BL1) 2. Describe the work of Emil von Behring and Paul Ehrlich in regard to protection from toxins (BL2) 3. Explain how clonal selection creates plasma cells and memory cells. (BL2) 4. Summarize the various regions and structures of an antibody (BL2) 5. Describe the roles of each of the classes of antibody, (IgA, IgM, IgG, IgD, IgE), including the ½ life of each, the percentage of total antibody of each, and common features of each (BL2) (*from lecture, recall the times at which each kind of antibody is produced by a fetus or young child, up to two years of age, and apply that information to evaluate the vaccination schedule for the US, today (BL6)) 6. Compare T-dependent and T-independent antigens (BL4) 7. Differentiate plasma cells and memory cells (BL4) 8. Explain the immunological role of antibody in the destruction of foreign substances (BL2) 9. Briefly summarize the 5 results of antigen-antibody binding (BL2) 10. Using the concepts presented in the “Immunological Memory” section, summarize the process of “building your immunity,” specifically through vaccinations (BL3) (*this relates to LO#5)
