Chapter 14 Microbiology

3. Antigens that induce allergy in sensitive individuals.
5. Allergies that enter through the skin.
7. Respiratory disease characterized by episodes of impaired breathing due to severe bronchoconstriction.
13. Allergies triggered by drugs, vaccines, or bee venom.
14. Hypothesis that immune systems need to be trained by interaction with microbes as we develop. 70% of this training happens in the gut.
15. More allergenic than carbohydrates, fats, or nucleic acids. Vaccine components are based on viral proteins.
17. Allergy and autoimmunity, tissues are attacked by immune components that can't distinguish one's own tissues from foreign material.
19. Generic term for allergic rhinitis. Reaction to inhaled pollen or molds, airborne allergens or inhalants that target the respiratory mucous membranes.

1. Common allergy and anaphylaxis. Immediate hypersensitivity that involves mast cells, basophils, and allergic mediators.
2. Systemic, sometimes fatal, reaction that involves airway obstruction and circulatory collapse.
4. (Immunodefeciency) The immune system is incompletely developed, suppressed, or destroyed.
6. The study of disease states associated with the overreactivity or underreactivity of the immune response.
7. Chronic localized allergy such as hay fever or asthma.
8. Immune complexes deposited in basement membranes of target organs; includes some autoimmune diseases.
9. Exaggerated immune response that is manifested by inflammation.
10. Immune functions are involved in asthma, anaphylaxis, diabetes (Type I), rheumatoid arthritis, organ/graft rejection.
11. IgG and IgM mediated cell damage. Antibodies plus complement act upon cells and cause cell lysis; includes some autoimmune diseases.
12. Ingested allergens that cause food allergies.
16. T-Cell response. Delayed hypersensitivity and cytotoxic reactions in tissues; includes autoimmune diseases.
18. Airborne environmental allergens such as pollen, house dust, dander, or fungal spores.
