Internal Med COPY Flashcards
MHC) class II complex communicates with what cells?
Helper T Cells
MHC) class I complex complex communicates with what cells?

what type of nucleus to neutrophils possess?
segmented, 3-5 lobe nucleus
monocyte/macrophages possess what type of nucleus?
bilobed nucleus
What cells release histamine?
Basophils and Mast cells
What cells use MHC II to communicate with Helper T cells?
Macrophage and Monocytes, B cells, and Dendric Cells
hematologic stem cell produces
myeloid stem cells (Granular) -> basophils-eosinophils-neutrophils
Lymphoid Stem cells -> T and B lymphocytes
Mature populations of NK cells are found
blood and spleen
Chemotherapy causes a reduction in what cells?
phagocytes
Monocytes, and Macrophages
The first , second, and third line of defense?
1- Physical and chemical barriers, Phagocytes, reflexes
- Inflammation/immune response, complement system, plasma proteins
- Adaptive immunity
vaccinations are an example of
active accquired immunity
transplacental transfer of antibodies from mother to fetus is an example of…
passive acquired immunity
active site on an antigen that binds to a T-cell
epitope
antibody structure has 2 ____ and 2 ____, which determines gene expression?
2 identical light and heavy chain
heavy chain determines gene expression
4 functions of immunoglobulins
directly attack antigens
complement system
anaphylaxis by releasing histamine
antibody-mediated hypersensitivity
LgM does what?
Primary Immunoglobin in immune response, on the surface of B cells.
LgG does what?
Major immunoglobulin synthesized during a secondary immune
-Antibacterial, antiviral, LONGTERM immunity
-Crosses placenta to protect newborn
IgA does what?
Found on body surfaces, in secretions
IgE does what?
present at very low levels in the blood and is
-Parasites
-Allegric reaction by causing mast cell and basophil to release histamine
LgD does what?
low levels in the blood
- Found on Naive B cells
The most potent antigen presenting cell, crucial to stimulating primary immune response
Dendritic Cell
helper T cell
6 functions
- Help B cells produce antibodies
- activate macrophage
- proliferate CD8 cells
- helping NK cells
- Recruit neutrophils
- downregulate immune system
example of something it DOESNT do: produce antibodies
What cells produce antibodies?
B cells
cell-mediated immunity is comprised of
T cells.
Cell mediated immunity is NOT always beneficial to the host (It is responsible for donor tissue rejection and autoimmune disease)
5 phases of the immune system
recognition ->
amplification->
effector ->
termination ->
memory ->
phase 1: recognition
innate immune receptors bind to pathogen/antibodies on invader
phase 2: amplification
complement cascades,
production of soluble factors (cytokines,
recruitment of neutrophils (cell army)
IF ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY: Proliferation of T cells and B cells
One antigen-activated lymphocyte replicates into an army of clones that all express the same antigen receptors
3) effector phase
-removal of antigens by a number of different mechanisms
4.) termination phase
-dampens the immune system after the antigen has been cleared
-protects host from excessive immune response
5.) memory phase
Generation of longlived T cells and B cells, these new cells have a lowered threshold for activiation and will respond quick next time
Exercise over 30 minutes causes what?
Rise in the level of neutrophils and macrophages
but lowers the level of lymphocytes for 2-4 hours after
regular exercise has a _________ effect
Anti inflammatory
Primary autoimmune deficiency means….
defect involving T cells, B cells, or lymphoid tissues
(from birth)
Secondary autoimmune deficiency means…
result of infection, aging, malnutrition, chemotherapy, autoimmune disorders, or immunosuppression
HIV is what kind of virus?
RNA or DNA
RNA
What two cells are effected by HIV?
CD4 and Macrophages
True or False: will you have HIV antibodies immediately after infection?
No, so you will test negative for HIV innitially
Asymptomatic HIV Disease CD4 cell count criteria
500 cells/mm or more CD4 cells
Person will test positive for HIV
fatigue and generalized lymphadenopathy with swollen and firm lymph glands may be observed during this stage
Symptomatic HIV Disease CD4 cell count criteria
500-200cells/mm
HIV becomes AIDS if you have ____ amount of CD4 left
200 cells/mm
Type I hypersensitivity means
IgE mediated
IMMEDIATE/ ALLERGIES
Type II hypersensitivity means
(Tissue-Specific) Hypersensitivity
Type III hypersensitivity means
(Immune Complex-Mediated) Hypersensitivity

-Insulin-resistant diabetes
Systemic Lupus is what kind of hypersensitivity?
Type 3
What immunoglobulins are invovled in type 3 hypersensitivity?
IgG, IgM, and occasionally IgA
Type IV Hypersensitivity(Cell-Mediated Immunity) disease examples:

(NO IMMUNOGLOBULINS)
What kind of hypersensitivity is the delayed type, responsible for donor tissue rejection?
Type 4
How many autoimmune diseases are identified?
56
Central tolerance
Self-antigen lymphocytes are killed during their maturation in lymphoid organs
Periphrial tolerance
Self-antigen lymphocytes are killed after they mature and leave the lymph organs by regulatory T cells
