Immunology Revision Sheet

1. 📌 Essentials

Antigens: foreign substances inducing immune responses; recognized via specific determinants.

  • Antibodies (Immunoglobulins): glycoproteins with 5 classes (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE); bind specific epitopes.
  • Precipitation: immune complex formation at zone of equivalence; visible precipitate.
  • Agglutination: clumping of insoluble antigens with antibodies; used in blood typing.
  • Prozone phenomenon: excess antibody inhibits lattice formation, causing false negatives.
  • Postzone phenomenon: excess antigen prevents cross-linking, causing false negatives.
  • IgG: main serum antibody, crosses placenta, neutralizes toxins.
  • IgA: mucosal immunity, present in secretions like saliva and breast milk.
  • IgE: mediates allergic reactions; binds to mast cells and basophils- T lymphocytes: mature in thymus; subsets include helper (CD4) and cytotoxic (CD8).
  • B lymphocytes: mature in bone marrow; produce plasma cells and antibodies.
