Part 4 The Immune Response (extra credit) Go to http://www.biology.arizona.edu/immunology/tutorials/immunology/main.html History of Vaccinations 1. Who is credited with the first vaccine and for what.

2. Who was the English scientists that showed how the vaccine worked using the scientific method? Tell the story in your own words. Be prepared to share.

Discrimination of self from nonself 1. What does this statement mean?

Work through the problem set – Tutorials included 1. A pathogen is a type of antigen.

2. Expectant parents now have the option to save their baby's "cord blood" (blood from the umbilical cord) immediately following birth. This cord blood can be transplanted into individuals whose blood has been damaged by diseases such as leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and sickle cell anemia. Saved cord blood is a perfect match for the baby it came from, and can also be useful in treating relatives of the baby. What cells should be harvested from the cord blood to best treat patients with blood diseases? 3. Immediately following a break in the skin, phagocytes engulf bacteria within the wound. This is an example of an ______immune response which is ______against a pathogen.

4. ______are responsible for the production of antibody against free pathogens and soluble products from pathogens while ______destroy pathogen and virally infected cells and abnormal cells.

5. The ability to produce billions of different antibodies in humans results from:

6. Antigen combining sites: If a B cell clone began to produce antibody with altered binding strength and specificity for antigen, you would expect the mutation of the antibody gene to involve:

7. Allergies result from the production of ______directed against an antigen.

8. Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infects endothelial cells and B cells. About half of us are infected by the virus while very young, and do not suffer disease. Around half of individuals who avoid the virus while young are infected in the teenage years and develop a disease called mononucleosis. In this disease, lymph nodes swell painfully as our immune system produces large numbers of lymphocytes to eliminate virus-producing cells. These lymphocytes are probably:

9. The clonal selection theory of antibody diversity says:
