Macrophage of the CNS
Microglial Cell
29
Macrophage of the kidney
Mesangial Cell
30
Macrophage of the liver
Kupffer Cell
31
Macrophage of the lungs
Alveolar Macrophage
32
Engulf and degrade antigens
Phagocytes:
33
immature precursor of the macrophage arises from bone marrow cells and is released into circulation.
Monocyte
34
leave the circulation and enter tissues, where they differentiate into macrophages
Monocytes
35
Synthesis of biologically active molecules(cytokines) which can affect inflammation as well as elimination of antigen
Macrophage
36
Enhance or down regulate immune responses by acting in an autocrine (same cell) or a paracrine (other cells) fashion.
Cytokines
37
short-lived circulating polymorphonuclear leukocytes whose main role in host defense is phagocytosis
Neutrophils
38
the fusion of cytosolic lysosomes with the phagosome results from the formation of a chimeric vacuole called
phagolysosome
39
toxic to organisms and constitutes the third mechanism by which antigens are destroyed within the macrophage
Nitric oxide
40
Endocytose antigens, degrade, and display antigen fragments on the cell surface
Antigen presenting cells
41
Most potent phagocytic cells; most effective APC
dendritic cell
42
Circulation and secondary lymphoid tissues; Host defense against viral infections and some tumors
(NK-cells)
43
Can target and destroy some cells in the absence of IgG
(NK-cells)
44
a molecule that inserts into the infected cell
perforin
45
mode of NK- cell killing wherein antibody is required to initiate the process
antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC)
46
Usually seen in hypersensitivity reactions
Basophils & Mast cells
47
play a major role in immune responses following the activation of complement
Mast cells
48
facilitates the recruitment of cells from the circulation into the infected tissue
Histamine
49
exaggerated hypersensitivity reaction
anaphylaxis
50
serves as a link between the cell and the antigen.
opsonin
51
More recent evolve mechanism that allows the body to recognize, remember, and response to specific stimulus
adaptive immunity
52
type of resistance that is characterized by specificity and memory
Acquired immunity
53
secrete antibodies instead of expressing them on the cell surface
Plasma cells
54
Secrete soluble proteins or humoral factors known as cytokines (helper cytokines)
Helper T cells
55
Foreign substances that trigger the activation of the immune system
ANTIGENS
56
This process refers to the antibodies that are secreted by differentiated B cells which are the plasma cells
B cells
57
Required for a virtually all aspect of adaptive immune response; They will kill virally infected host cells
Cytotoxic T cells
58
refers to those proteins that are secreted by the cell of adaptive immune system
Humoral adaptive immunity
59
term 'antigen' has been proposed to be replaced by the term _______
immunogen
60
refer to the effectiveness of molecules to activate cells of adaptive immunity

antigenic determinants or epitopes
62
Three categories for a highly immunogenic substance
1. degree of foreignness 2. chemically complexity 3. high molecular weight
