Mouse immune system Flashcards
(10 cards)
PAMPs
Pathogen associated molecular patterns, ex lipno polysaccharide, bacterial flagellin, single and double stranded RNA, and non methylated DNA
PRRs
Pattern recognition receptors, TLRs, Nod-like receptors, and RIG-like receptors
TLR4
recognizes LPS
TLR3/7
ss and dsRNA
TLR9
DNA
Cells of the innate immune system
monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, innate like lymphocyte populations one, 2, and 3 including natural killer cells
Cells of the adaptive immune system
T&B lymphocytes, express a highly antigen specific receptor that has arisen through gene rearrangement
CD4+ T cells
T helper cells, recognize peptides presented in MHC class 2 and promote B lymphocytes activation and activate and regulate cellular immune responses via secretion of differing cytokines
CD8+ T cells
Recognized antigenic peptides presented in MHC class I and serve as cytotoxic cells during the cell mediated immune response where they can destroy infected cells
B cell major function
Produce highly antigen specific immunoglobulin’s which combined in inactivate pathogens in toxins, activation of B cells can lead to their differentiation to plasma cells
