23
Dendritic cells
function as antigen presenting cells, most important Antigen presenting cell
24
Eosinophils
Primary involved in responses to parasitic pathogens - cover parasites - release contents of thier granules -
25
Natural born killers ( NK)
ability to recognize cancerous cells and cells infected with certain viruses in spite of fact they CAN NOT recognize specific antigens
26
cytotoxic
release substances that destory thier traget cells
26
other cells of innate immunity
nonphagocytic cells include Nk cell, dendritic cells and basophils
27
Basophils
mediate inflammation, help enhance inflammation
28
Complements ( condiments )
produced in liver - group of molecules known as complement system - cell lysis, enhance inflammation, neutralized, viruses, enhanced phagocytosis due to ozonization and clearance of immune complexes
29
cytokines
protiens produced by several types of immune cells which enhance immune response, - protiens that lukocytes make
30
Tumor necrosis factor
Attracts phagocytes to area of infection and stimi phagocytes to release additional cytokines
31
Interferons
Produced in response to infection with intrecelular agents such as viruses or intrecellular bacteria - primary action is to inhibit viral replication inside host cells
32
Interleukins
Stimi production of neutriphils by bone marrow, stimi NK cells, trigger production of interferons and activate t cells
33
Cytokines initiate an
INFLAMATORY RESPONSE
34
Inflammatory response innate
reponse that occurs when cell is damaged by anything including trauma - there are 2 basic stages to inflammatory response
35
Cardinals signs of inflammation
1. Rubor ( red) 2. Calor ( heat) 3. dolor ( pain) 4. Tumor ( Swelling)
36
fever
body temp above normal range which is generally between 36-38 C or 97-99 F
37
Febrile
individual with fever
38
Pyrogens are released from where and act where
released from; Damaged cells or certain bacteria act where; hypothalamus
39
103-101 99-100
bacterial inf viral inf
40
Body temp too low ( Negative feedback)
hypthalamus triggers sensation of cold or having chills when fever occurs
41
Elevated body temp ( negative feedback)
Hypothalamus tiggers includes shivering, increased muscle activity that generates body temp
42
Cell mediated immunity
first arm of adaptive immune system - primarly to cells infected with intracellular pthogens, cancer cells and foregin cells such as those from transplanted organ
43
T cells are formed in the ___ and leave bone marrow and migrate to ___ to mature
bone marrow; thymus
44
clone
respond to specific antigen - there are millions of clones but only few cells of each clone exist in body at any given time
45
Apoptosis
programed death cell - bind to protiens on plasma membrane of traget cells ( if cell is cancer they bind and self destruct)
46
effects of Th cells
release interlukins
47
b cells
- have b cell receptors that bind to specific antigens \ - a group of b cells that bind to SPECIFIC antigens is known as clone -
48
Antibodies
protiens secrted by b cells - Antibodies secrted by b cell clone bind to same antigen as b cell receptor
49
B cell maturation
1. cell of lymohoid line divide into the bone marrow 2. b cell mature in the bone marrow where sled -reactive b cells are destryed 3. mature naive b cell exit the bone marrow and take up residence in lymo organs
50
Antibody- mediated immune response
1. B- cell clone recognizes specific antigen( triguers it to change and secret antiboides) 2. antibody levels in blood rises dramatically ( antibodies directly responsible for actions that lead to destruction of antigens to which they bind) 3. persistence of population of b cells (MEMORY B CELLS
51
Antibody classification
5 basic classes GAMED IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, IgD
52
IgG
-only antibody that go mother to fetus; cross placenta - makes up majority of antibodies in serum
53
IgA ( Alementary canal)
- Found in digestive saliva - Swallow things that cause inflammation - Found in secretions such as breast milk and saliva
54
IgM ( Main)
-1st to be released/ excreted - release complement
55
IgE ( Allergy)
- work with basophils - Cause degranulation - Cause inflamitory response - response to allergic response
56
IgD
- Antibodies found exclusively on the surface of b cells - Has a role in b cell sensitization and activation
57
agglutination
(Spider man ties all the bad guys) - Unite in mass to enchance effect
57
Precipitation
Soluble antigens bind to the specific antibody
58
Neutralization
Stop toxic effect of pathogen
59
compliment activation
self explanatory
60
Stimulation of inflammation
triggers inflammatory protiens
61
Antibody-mediated immunological memory
memory b responsbile - respond more effectivly when antigen is encounered second time
62
Lag phase
4-5 day the part where you generaly have been sick
63
Antibody peak level
7-14 days
64
Primary immune response
B cell clone specific for that antigen and recognizes it, proliferate and diffrentiates into plasma and memory b cells
65
Major antibodie invloved in secondary response
IgG
66
Secondary immune response
when memory b cells encounters antigen for which they are specific (Last longer than priamry) shorter lag phase 1-3 days and antibodie peak is 3-5 days
67
Major antibodie invloved in primary response
IgM
68
Vaccination ( Immunization)
Exposing individual to antigen to elict primary immune response and generate memory cells
68
If individual is exposed to antigen again
secondary immune response will occur and symptomes will be minimal
68
Natural active
getting sick
69
natural artifical active
modern vaccines
70
passive natural
baby being born ( IgG)
70
Passive artifical natural
old stuff w/ horse or something
71
Hypersensitivity disorders
immune system to overreact can damage tissues there are 4 types
72
Immunodeficiency disorders
one or more componentsof immune system fails
73
Anutoimmune disorders
immune system may treat self antigens as foregin and attack bodys own tissue
74
type 1 hyper
Immediate hyper ( most common) (ALLERGIES) - Rapid response, runny nose, skin rash, asthma,
75
Anaphylatic shock
MOST dramatic immediate hyper. reaction; release of histamine and othe inflammatory mediators; are responsible for life theathing events
76
type 2 hyper
Antibody-mediated - Antibodies procuded by immune response to foregin antigens also bind to SELF antigens
77
type 2 reactions
-foregin antigens bidn to normal anti. -donor of erythrocytes into another individual are mismatched using ABO/Rh antigen group -
78
Type 3
Immune complex-mediated - reactions mediated by immune complexes or culaters of soluble antgens bound to anitbodies
79
type 4
delayed hyper _ mediated by t cell rather than antibodies recation generally takes 2-3 days
80
Contact dermatitis
skin comes into contact with allergn such as oils in posion ivy or poision oak; reuslts in rash that is itchy and occasinally painfull
80
Tuberulosis
repiratory infection - bacteriym mycobacterium tuberculosis
81
Primary immunodeficiencies
genetic or developmental in nature
82
Hypogammaglobulinemias
common dysfunction of adaptive immunity characterized by decreased in one or more types of antibodies
82
Secodnary immunodeficencies
acquired through infection ( Truma, cancer)
83
AIDS
Caused by HIV Spread through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk
83
Signs and symptomes of AIDS
due largely to destruction of Th cells, - TH cells required for almost al part of innare and adaptive immune response to fucntion properly
83
Auto immune disorders
populations of self reactive t or b cells thats ecrte antibodies bind to self antigens
84
Multiple sclerosis ( self anitgens not previosuly encountreed by t cells)
infection or truma might release protien and it antigen into circualtion; attack myelin sheath
85
Rheumatic fever (foregin antigen mimic self anitgens)
certain viral and bacterial antigens closley resemble normal self anitgens
85
Type one diabetes call may inapporiatly express surface molecules
Triggres immune response to these normal self anitgens
