wAwAntibody structure
Antibodies w 2 heavy chains (450 amino acids) w 2 light chains (220 amino acids w Connected by a (S-S) disulfide bridge. w The whole protein has 1340 amino acids.
Objective 14 wAwActive immunity is acquired during an infection or from a vaccination.
Obj.14 continued wPwPassive immunity is given when a donor’s antibodies are injected into the blood- stream or from mother.
Obj Classes of Antibodies w IgA (immunoglobulin A) w IgG (these all differ by w IgM structure and function) w IgD w IgE
Obj. 16 Function of Antibodies w Complement fixation w Antigen neutralization w Precipitation w Agglutination

Practice
Objective 17: Clonal Selection of T cells w T cell growth is stimulated by the protein displayed on the surface of the macrophage. w Some become active killers others become memory T cells.
Obj. 18: Roll of T Cells w Cytotoxic T cells attack and lyse infected cells. w Helper T cells release interleukin. w Suppressor T stop immune response
