Q

Eosinophils

A
  • granulocyte
  • develop and mature in marrow

Q

Basophils

A
  • granulocyte
  • least common
  • chemotaxis and phagocytic

Q

T cells

A
  • mature in thymus
  • learn to recognize our own self cells
  • antigen presenting cells (macrophages) present to T cells
  • once bound to antigen…release cytokines

Types:

  • helper (CD-4)… release cytokines
  • killer (cd-8)… kill infected cells
  • regulatory…stop immune response once antigen destroyed
  • memory

  • always present in small amounts
  • bind to specific antigen…opsonize (coats/marks)
  • activate compliment cascade
    Five classes:
  • IgG
  • IgA
  • IgM
  • IgE
  • IgD

19
Q

IgM

A
  • 1st produced
  • high levels mean new infection
  • first produced in fetus…high levels mean infection in newborn
  • very large…stays in vascular
  • activate compliment
  • Ex: anti-A and anti-B

Q

IgE

A
  • 3rd class
  • low [ ]

Q

IgG

A
  • 4th class
  • most important / most potent
  • 80%
  • produced most in second exposure
  • come from memory B cells
  • ONLY one that can cross placenta….Rh antibody
  • Rho-GAM is what is given

Q

IgG1

A

Bacteria

24
Q

IgG2

A

Rest of bacteria

25
Q

IgG3

A

Compliment

26
Q

IgG4

A

Vasodilator

27
Q

IgA

A
  • in body fluids and mucous
  • cannot activate compliment system
  • BUT can trigger cell-mediated immune response
28
Q

Largest subgroup

A

IgM

29
Q

Most [ ] subgroup

A

IgG1 and IgG2

30
Q

Longest life subgroup

A

IgG1
IgG2
IgG4

31
Q

Subgroups that activate compliments the most

A

IgM

IgG3

32
Q

Subgroup that likes mast cells

A

IgE

33
Q

Subgroup with opsonization

A

IgG1

34
Q

Subgroup that goes across epithelium

A

IgA

35
Q

Subgroup that goes across placenta

A

IgG1

36
Q

5 characteristics of adaptive immunity

A
  • specificity
  • diversity
  • memory
  • self-regulation
  • self-tolerance
37
Q

3 phases of immune response

A
  • cognitive: antigen interacts with T cells
  • activator: T cells release cytokines / cyotkines make T and B
  • effector: granulocytes / macrophages / compliment activated
    Antigen targeted and engulfed
38
Q

Cell mediated immunity

A
  • T cell response to antigen

- T cells have direct immune response

39
Q

MHC II

A
  • CD-4
  • extracellular
  • helper T cell…don’t kill antigen directly…activate other white cells

Two classes:

  • TH1: inflammatory / convert inactive T cells into killer T cells
  • TH2: activate B cells
40
Q

MHC I

A
  • CD-8
  • Intracellular
  • cytotoxic T cell comes to kill infected cell
41
Q

MHC

A

Major histocompatibility complex

42
Q

CD40:CD40L

A

CD40: marker on B cells
CD40L: activated CD4 cells have marker

Both come together in order to make antibodies

43
Q

A
  • skin cells…antigen presenting
44
Q

4 signs of inflammation
