Q

what do B lymphocytes express

A

IgM, recognizes specific antigens, which then tell B lymphocyte to proliferate into plasma cell which then secretes IgA and IgG

Q

origin and location of B cells

Study These Flashcards
A

bone marrow, stay in bone marrow until activated and enter circulation and colonize in CT, epithelia, lympoid nodules, and spleen

24
Q

describe IgG

Study These Flashcards
A

IS THE MOST ABUNDANT AB, secreted by plasma cells, secreted by mother in placenta

25
describe IgM
2nd highest Ab, secreted by B cell while it is inactive, the first Ab produced in immune response
26
describe IgA
secreted by plasma cells in digestive, respiratory and reproductive tracts, saliva, tears, breast milk (a little higher than IgM
27
describe IgD
may not even be existant, but would be on surface of B lymphocytem causes initial B cell activation
28
describe IgE
binds to mast cell surface in rhinitis inflammation, surface of basophils to recruit eosinophils to modulate histamine and heparin
29
describe process of B cell activation
initially, B cells secrete IgM and when antigen is presented to this, is triggers activation, proliferation and differentiation into platelet cells that secrete IgA and IgG
30
function of antibodies
1. precipiates soluble antigens 2. causes cellular agglutination 3. opsonization - flagging down 4. activates complement system or Ab themselves 5. neutralization - keep adhesions from happening 6. chemotaxis - attracting other cells
31
what is opsonization
Ab coating surface of microorganisms increasing the efficiency of phagocytosis
32
what is complement system
stimulates phagocytosis through opsonization and lysis or microorganisms
33
origin location T cells
originate in bone marrow, travel to thymus to differentiate and mature or die if not used
34
describe binding of T cells
they express T cell receptors which recognize and bind ONLY to MHC (major histocompatibility complex) VERY SPECIFIC
35
where are peyer's patches found
ileum and appendix
36
what does the spleen do
filters blood
37
where are lymphatic nodules found
everywhere, in lymph node cortex
38
where are MALT found
walls of GI, respiratory, genital, urinary tracts
39
where are tonsils
1. palatine - lots of crypts 2. lingual - 1 crypt 3. pharyngeal - no crypts
40
concentration of T and B lymphocytes in thymus
100% T cells
41
concentration of T and B in bone marrow
90% B 10% T
42
concentration of t and b in spleen
more B than T
43
concentration of T and B cells in lymph nodes
50%-50%
44
concentration of T and B cells in blood
more T cells because B cells secrete Ab that activate T cells, and are not as specific, T cells are faster in taking care of infections
45
significance of reticular connective tissue stroma
provides strong and resilient meshwork for lymphocytes, macrophages, plasma cells, and APC, so that infection/cells don't spread where they shouldn't be
46
what are the APC cells?
1. B cells 2. macrophages 3. dendritic cells \*express MHCII to active T lymphocytes
47
describe macrophages
derived from monocytes, phagocytes, APC and cytokine producers, have large, central nucleus, and large irregular shape bc lots of lysosomes and well developed RER and golgi, usually stay in specified tissues around
48
what are langerhans cells
dendritic cells that proess and display antigens, on skin, can TRAVEL to lymph nodes, also derived from monocytes and are phagocytes
49
specific function of dendritic cells
convert antigens into MHC-peptide complexes and present on cell surface with MHCII to the T cells to be activated, once activated, move from tissue to lymph nodes to activate the T cells
50
what does lympoid tissue contain
reticular cells, lymphocytes, macrophages
51
describe reticular cells
pale central nucleus, prominent nucleolus and pale sparse cytoplasm, have branches of cytoplasm "dendrites"
52
classification of lymphoid tissue
1. central lymphoid organs in thymus and bone marrow 2. peripheral lymphoid organs in spleen,lymph nodes, tonsils, MALT
53
central lymphoid organs
supplies uncommitted t and b cell precursors that migrate into peripheral organs and tissues \*ANTIGEN INDEPENDENT\*ACTIVATE DESPITE ANTIGENS
54
peripheral lymphoid organs
provide committed T and B cells that respond to specific antigens \*need to be presented with an antigen to become active
55
what are lymphoid nodules/follicle
clusters of mostly B lymphocytes = primary functional subunit of all lymphoid tissue EXCEPT THYMUS
56
describe primary lymphoid nodules
dense group of mature, nonproliferating B lymphocytes (IgM)
57
describe secondary lymphoid nodules
have mantle zone of inactive lymphocytes (B and some T), and germinal center of proliferating lymphoblasts that have been activated by IgM/antigen
