NSG 532 Exam 4 Actual Questions With Complete Solutions epitope - ANSWER antigen determinant expressed by a non self can you have more than one epitope? - ANSWER yes and there are specific immune responses for each hapten - ANSWER non self, non immunogenic epitope that when added to a carrier protein produces an immune response- such as poison ivy antigens - ANSWER non self foreign material that evokes a weak or no immune response and the body makes no mem...

Characteristics of Immunogens (Antigens) that affect Immunogenicity - Answer 1. Large molecule (at least 10 KDa) 2. High complexity (simple repeating units don't make good immunogens) 3. Chemical composition (proteins and polysachs. are better than carbs, lipids & nucleic acids) 4. Foreignness (the more different from host, the more immunogenic) Differentiate Active from Passive Immunity - Answer *Active:* Individual produces antibody. Follows immunization or infection. Lasting. *P...

Types of Antigens - - Infection(bad foreign) - gut flora(good foreign) - cancer(bad self) - autoimmunity(good self) what's recognizes antigens? - - adaptive immune system - innate only can recongize PAMPS what are antigens? - - molecule that can interact(specifically) w immunoglobulin(Ig) receptor of B cells(or T cell receptor complexed w MHC) - cells see it immunogen - - molecule that induces specific immune response - all immunogens are antigens - not all antigens are immun...
