What is another name for NK cells?
Large granular lymphocytes
33
What cells do NK cells kill?
Tumor cells, viral infected cells
34
What receptors do all NK cells express?
CD16, Fc receptor for ADCC CD161, c-type lectin

NOD-like receptors and RIG-like receptors
66
What do NLRs recognize? Result?
Bacteria, stress signals, urate crystals; inflammasome-->caspase 1-->IL-1beta and IL-18, also cleaves gasdermin D to cause pyroptosis
67
What do RIG like receptors recognize? Result?
dsRNA; production of type I IFNs via IRF3 (no TRIF)
68
What are the two categories of secreted PRRs?
Collectins- MBLs and pulmonary surfactants A and D Pentraxins- C reactive protein
69
What do MBLs bind? What is the result?

71
What does NFkappaB do?
TF, for inflammatory cytokines
72
