Q

breakdown of WBC %%

A 
75% nucleated cells in BM commited to be a leukocyte

Q

Neutrophil granules

A

are pre-synthesized so ready to roll asap (unlike MO) they include: peroxidase, lysozyme, defensins, degradative enzymes

can also produce inflammatory mediators: cytokines, prostaglandins, leukotrienes

Q

Leukocytosis

A

elevated WBC, usually neutrophilia, commonly indicative of infection. A 2-3x inc in WBC can be seen in just 4-5 hours.

Q

“left-shift”

Study These Flashcards
A

During serious infection the BM is ejecting Neutrophils faster than they can mature shifting visible N to the left of maturity graph. You see band cells (immature N whose nucleus looks like a band) and during extreme cases you see myelocyte

20
Q

Leukopenia

Study These Flashcards
A

reduction of circulating WBCs, often caused by cancer therapy. suspect it if Pt shows frequent or unusual infections

21
Q

3 ways PMNs kill bacteria

Study These Flashcards
A

phagocytosis, degranulation, NETs

22
Q

Monocyte life span

Study These Flashcards
A

usually a few days; can be extended dramatically during inflamation

23
Q

Monocytosis

Study These Flashcards
A

inc monocytes in blood; due to chronic infections, autoimmune disorders, certain cancers, sarcoidosis

24
Q

Mast and bosphils

Study These Flashcards
A

defense against parasites, key role in allergic y anaphylactic reactions, contain bosphilic (purple-black) granules: histamine, serotonin, heparin, cytokines, chemokines

25
Mastocytosis
inc of mast cells (in tissues of course); itching, hives, anaphylactic shock (histamine) Urticaria pigmentosa
26
Eosinophils
large secondary granules contain 4 basic proteins, small granules contain histamine, peroxidase, lipase and MBP basic proteins involved with parasite defense, helminth defense also directly associated w epithelial cell damage, exfoliation and bronchospasm
27
NK cell recognition
NK cells don't need prior stimulation or immunization, normally recognize self Ags, if Ags are NOT on a cell the absence of Ag activate
28
Inflammatory signs result from biochemical actions of vasoactive mediators:
Prostaglandins, leukotrienes, histamine (all from mast cells) bradykinin
29
Body rxn to inflamtion
BV become permeable = warm, red, swelling tissue and microorganisms debris = pus inflammatory mediators stimulate nerves = pain chills, fever, muscle aches
30
Fever
Fever is not related directly to pathogenic factors: rather pyrogenic cytokines IL1, IL6 in MO induce via hypothalamus most pathogens replicate poorly in elevated temp's
31
PAMPS
Allows innate immunity to discern self from non-self; they are unique to classes of pathogens, they are often required for pathogen survival so cannot be altered, suppressed or hidden. They have no similar structure to self Ags
32
ex. of PAMPs
porins, lipoproteins, LPS, lipoteichoic acid, techoic acid, mannoproteins, B-glycans, lipoarabinomannan
33
PRR general properties
broad specificity, germ-line encoded, nonclonal distribution (means 2 cells have the same-unlike B/T cells) ex. mannose receptor
34
Extra-cellular TLRs vs intra
1,2,4,5,6 vs 3,7,8,9
35
TLR 3789
3-dsRNA-TRIF only, 4 goes to both, rest to MyD88 7-ssRNA 8-ssRNA-NK cells only 9-CpG DNA
36
Why do TLRs exist
Entire point of TLRs is to initiate TFs that code for cytokines and other mediators; NF-KB and TRF are major TFs
37
TLR 4 activation
LPS binds to TLR-4 activating Ap MyD88 which activates IRAK4 which -P TRAF6 which -P IKK which -P IkB which degrades and frees NF-KB which goes into nucleus and does WORK
38
TLR deficiency
innate system cant kill microbes leading to recurrent infections, failure of cytokines being produced during bacterial infection, common termed MyD88 and IRAK4 deficiency
39
NLRs
scaffolding proteins that assemble signaling platforms that trigger NF-KB and MAPK; make inflammasomes that activate protease caspase-1
40
protease caspase-1
process the inactive (zymogen) cytoplasmic precursor (which is there bc of NFKB bc of TLR) into the secreted forms of IL-1B and IL-18 which are both potent proinflammatory
41
what triggers NLRs to assemble into inflammasomes like the power rangers?
bacterial products, crystals, K+ efflux, ROS
42
NON infectious inflamation
DAMPs are endogenous released from damaged or dying cells and induce inflammation by activating innate immune system
43
DAMPs
can originate from diff sources and be EC proteins, IC proteins and plasma proteins usually recognized by TLRs on MO (CD14) and all will stimulate TNF-a and IL-1
44
HMGB1
nucleolus protein passively released by necrotic cells activating NFKB via TLR2/3 signal
45
examples of DAMPs
HMGB1, uric acid, HSP
