This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Answers_resist_adaptive, The ability to resist adaptive immunity mechanisms degrade the body's protective antibodies that are found in mucus (IgA), degrade the body's protective antibodies that are found in mucus (IgA) examples Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Haemophilus influenzae, Helicobacter pylori, Ways in which antibodies protect the body against bacteria examples IgG made against protein exotoxins can combine with the exotoxin molecules before they can interact with host target cells and thus neutralize the toxin., Ways in which antibodies protect the body against bacteria examples Antibodies such as IgG and IgE function as opsonins and stick bacteria to phagocytes., produce polysaccharides capsules similar to human tissue polysaccharides so antibodies are not made against these capsules examples Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pyogenes, The ability to resist adaptive immunity mechanisms change molecular shape of pili, adhesins, capsules, flagella, etc. so antibodies no longer fit, Ways in which antibodies protect the body against bacteria examples IgG and IgM can also activate the classical complement pathway providing all of its associated benefits., Ways in which antibodies protect the body against bacteria examples Antibodies, such as IgG, IgA, and IgM, can bind to bacterial adhesins, pili, and capsules and block their attachment to host cells., produce proteins that bind to the Fc portion of antibodies preventing opsonization examples Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, change molecular shape of pili, adhesins, capsules, flagella, etc. so antibodies no longer fit examples Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Escherichia coli, The ability to resist adaptive immunity mechanisms produce proteins that bind to the Fc portion of antibodies preventing opsonization, Ways in which antibodies protect the body against bacteria examples IgA and IgM can clump bacteria together enabling them to be more readily removed by phagocytes, The ability to resist adaptive immunity mechanisms produce polysaccharides capsules similar to human tissue polysaccharides so antibodies are not made against these capsules
