Hmmm.... · NEED a brief, clear, and THOROUGH approach to CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY? · WANT to break down clinical immunology into the most CLINICALLY RELEVANT information in SIMPLE, EASY to read terminology? · LOOKING FOR A TEXT brimming with mnemonics, humor, illustrations, and summary charts to maximize UNDERSTANDING and RETENTION? · ALWAYS DREAMED of an excellent immunology reference for BOARD review and course test preparation? · TIRED of passively watching and trying to reference back to Sketchy and other such videos that require you to remember long, made up stories on top of remembering real clinical information, only to be left with a simple factoid instead of having a brief, meaningful text helping you understand an entire subject? Look No Further! - M.R.S. Immunology Made Ridiculously Simple IN ACTION!!! Complement Functions Complement is a group of 30 or more plasma and cell surface proteins, mainly synthesized in the liver and distributed in the blood and tissues. They work in concert to fight the invading microorganisms through Opsonization, Inflammation, and Lysis. (Fig. 1-6; complement can is spilling "OIL") The Antibody Molecule Antibodies (also known as immunoglobulins, or Ig for short) are glycoproteins produced by plasma cells in response to antigens, which are foreign microbial and non-microbial substances. In an electrophoresis of a normal serum sample, the immunoglobulins form a broad band in the gamma portion of the protein sample. There are 5 different isotypes (classes) of immunoglobulins: IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, and IgD. The mnemonic GAMED helps to remember them. Each Ig has a different molecular weight and function, but they all share a common structural unit. Immunotherapy Earlier studies in mice and subsequently in humans have shown that immunity can be transferred from one individual to another. Transferring the serum of an immune person with a specific immunity to a pathogen to an unimmune individual can protect against the same pathogen Clinical Pharmacology Made Ridiculously Simple: Color Edition Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple: Color Edition Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple: Spiral Bound Color Edition Clinical Pathophysiology Made Ridiculously Simple: Color Edition Clinical Biochemistry Made Ridiculously Simple: Color Edition Clinical Biostatistics and Epidemiology Made Ridiculously Simple: An Incredib...
