19
Q

HEV express _____1_____, that serve as _____2____ for lymphocytes

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. adhesion molecules

2. homing receptors

20
Q

all mast cell granules do what?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. induce local inflammation
  2. responsible for vascular abnormalities
  3. inflammation in allergic reactions
21
Q

mast cell mediates produce and release what?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. cytokines
  2. chemokines
  3. angiogenic
  4. growth factors
22
Q

where are mast cells located & why?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. close to external environment (skin)
  2. close to blood vessels
    why– to regulate vascular permeability & effector - cell recruitment
23
Q

what are the 3 lipid mediators for mast cells?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. prostaglandins
  2. leukotrienes
  3. platelet-activating factors
24
what are the 6 preformed mediators for mast cells?
1. histamine 2. heparin 3. proteases 4. chrondroitin sulfates 5. TNF 6. antimicrobial peptides
25
when B/T cells are in the LN, how do they know where do go to?
chemokines!
26
are macrophages apart of innate & adaptive immunity?
yuuus
27
where are macrophages from? | what are they driven by?
bone marrow & M-CSF (monocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor)
28
what is the embryonic origin & maturation of macrophages?
yolk sac ->stem cell -> mac. precursor -> blood -> tissue
29
what is the adult origin & maturation of macrophages?
bone marrow ->stem cell-> monocyte precursor -> monoblast -> monocyte -> blood -> tissue = macrophage activated
30
what do neutrophils mediate & why?
earliest phages of inflammatory reactions b/c they are the first to arrive
31
neutrophils are stimulated by what?
G-CSF granulocyte colony-stimulating factor
32
what are the 2 neutrophil granules?
1. specific granule | 2. azurophil granule
33
name 3 specific granules
1. lactoferrin 2. lysozome 3. secretory phospholipase A2
34
name 5 azurophil granules
1. elastase 2. lysozome 3. myeloperoxidase 4. cathepsin 5. acid hydroplases
35
Neutrophil + small thing (yeast) = ?
1. binds 2. internalize yeast via phagocytosis 3. azurophil granules are released 4. ROS is made; the released enzymes kills it
36
neutrophil + big thing (hyphae) = ?
1. cant internaize; release azurolic granules into nucleus 2. this = chromatin decondensation 3. NETs are released 4. NET immobilize it & help kill it
37
what makes a NET? (neutrophil extracellular trap)
DNA, histones, proteins
38
what is NETosis?
a cell death-dependent process 1. chromatin decondensation 2. nuclear membrane disintegration
39
what do mast cells, basophils, & eosinophils have in common?
1. innate & adaptive 2. protect against helminthes & allergic reactions 3. common cytoplasmic granules
40
what granules do mast cells have? what is the staining?
histamine -- purple w/ giemsa
41
what is the blood basophil stain?
blue w/ giemsa
42
what is the eosinophil stain & granules?
Red -- acidic dye eosin | filled with basic proteins
