Q

Mechanism in maintaining/ matching the rate of neutrophil production and removal

A

Apoptotic neutrophils are removed by macrophages.
Macrophages then produce interleukin-23. Once IL-23 increases, it then promotes IL-17 production by lymphocytes and the IL-17 in turn stimulates G-CSF production and stem cell activity.

17
Q

three major types of enzyme-rich granules in neutrophil cytosol.

A
  1. Primary (azurophil) granules
  2. Secondary (specific) granules: contain lysozyme & collagenase
  3. Tertiary granules : gelatinase
18
Q

Three major types of lymphocyte and their roles.

A
  1. Innate lymphoid cells (innate immunity)
  2. T cells (regulate adaptive immunity and responsible for cell-mediated immune responses.)
  3. B cells (antibody production)
19
Q

Lymphocyte structure

A

7- 15 μm in diameter.
contains a single large round nucleus (stains intensely and evenly with hematoxylin stain.

20
Q

The pattern of a cell surface molecules expressed on a cell is called?

A

Phenotype

21
Q

Locations of lymphocytes within the body

A
  1. lymph nodes -40%
  2. spleen - 13%
  3. Other tissues - 25%
  4. Intestine - 10%
  5. Bone marrow - 10%
  6. Blood - 2 %
22
Q

B cells predominate in what areas of the body?

A

cortex of lymph nodes, follicles within the Peyer’s Patches, spleen, marginal zone of the white pulp of the spleen.

23
Q

a protocol used for the identification and investigation of cell surface molecules present on leukocytes.
(human & mouse)

A

Cluster of Differentiation (CD)

24
Q

Protocol used in the identification of the cell surface molecules in domestic animals leukocytes that have no recognized homolog in human or mouse.

A

Workshop cluster (WC)
ex: BoWC1

25
Q

They don’t have antigen receptor like T and B cells, instead, they have germline encoded receptors that can bind to molecules expresses on healthy normal cells but dop not on diseased, abnormal cells

A

Innate Lymphoid cells

26
Q

receptors that are for MHC class II molecules on antigen-presenting cells, and is only found in helper T cells

A

CD4

27
Q

A protein receptor that is only expressed on T cells that attack and kill abnormal cells, cytotoxic T cells. Receptors for MHC class I molecules.

A

CD8

28
Q

-signaling triggers NK cell activation
- found on granulocytes, NK cells, macrophages

A

CD16

29
Q

CD32 (FcyRII)

A
  • found on B cells, dendritic cells, myeloid cells
30
Q

CD32 a

A
  • expressed on macrophages and neutrophils
  • activating receptor that promotes phagocytosis and triggers release of cytokines
31
Q

CD32b

A
  • B cells
  • inhibitory receptor and regulates antibody production
32
Q

are heterodimeric proteins formed by alpha and beta chains. they bind cells to extracellular matrix proteins such as fibronectin, laminin, and collagen

A

Integrins

33
