25
Which things are responsible for opsonization
IgG and C3B
26
What adult tissues and/or organs are involved with hematopoiesis?
Adults - Hematopoiesis takes place exclusively in the bone marrow of specific bones such as flat bones of skull, ribs, sternum, vertebral column, pelvis, and proximal ends of some long bones
27
What embryonic organs are involved with hematopoiesis?
Early in embryonic development it begins in the yolk sac Islands (Mesenchyme). A little later, The liver becomes major site, and after further development the spleen and lymph nodes supplement this activity and then bone.
28
Another name for a tissue monocyte and what's another name for a tissue basophil?
Monocytes: Phagocytes or histiocytes in tissue Basophil: Mast cells-in connective tissue
29
What is the immune adherence phenomenon?
Opsinization of the pathogen with lots of C3b
30
What are the 3 complement units in order?
Recognition Activation Membrane attack
31
Another name for C3b, and IgE
REAGENIC | Reagenic antibody
32
In the complement system what are the components of last unit (Membrane attack complex)?
C5b C6 C7 C8 C9
33
which 2 components part of immune adherence phenomenon
C3b and C4-C2
34
Process of opsonization dependent on...
Fc portion of IgG and compliment C3B
35
which 2 components act as anaphylactoxins
C3a, and C5a
36
Where is secretory IgA found?
Known as the “secretory antibody” because secreted in: tears, saliva, lumen of the gut, and the nasal cavity
37
How many IgG’s do u need to start compliment vs IgM’s?
2 IgG’s or 1 IgM
38
Which antibodies cross the placenta?
IgG Antibodies
39
Which antibodies can be seen in breast milk?
IgG Antibodies, IgA Antibodies
40
Whats another name or what antibodies are reaginic?
IgE
41
Where is secretory IgA found?
Known as the “secretory antibody” because secreted in: tears, saliva, lumen of the gut, and the nasal cavity
42
Define Dendritic Cells
Antigen presenting cells.
43
Define -NK Cells
Important in attacking virally infected cells through the release of enzyme in their granules. Also, able to secrete interferon which prevents healthy host cells from becoming infected by virus.
44
Define Langerhan Cells
Antigen presenting cells found in the skin. Assist the body in presenting antigenic peptides present on viruses to T-Helper Cells for destruction and memory of viral antigens
45
Define Kupffer Cells
Large cells with a horseshoe-shaped nucleus and functions in phagocytosis. Seen in chronic inflammation as they are long lived cells. Kupffer cells in the liver.
46
Define Microglial Cells
macrophages in brain act as the first and main form of active immune defense in the CNS.
47
Define Dust cell
Macrophage in lungs.
48
Define Mast Cells
Basophils in connective tissue.
49
which is the first antibody to appear in an acute/primary response to infection/inflammation?
IgM
50
which lymphoid organs/tissues are primary?
Primary lymphoid organs= thymus, bursa equivalent (includes Gut Associated Lymphyoid Tissue(GALT), tonsils, peyer's patches of the ileum, appendix)
51
which lymphoid organs/tissues are Secondary?
Secondary lymphoid organs= spleen, lymph nodes, GALT (considered secondary at birth)
52
Hassal's Corpuscles and their preposed function
Scattered throughout medulla and concentrically arranged Numbers increased with age Function unknown; suggested to be location of T-lymphocyte death in medulla
53
What are marginal zones
Regions between red and white pulp that are poorly defined that receive much of the blood entering the spleen Marginal Zones divides the white pulp and red pulp and is primarily composed of plasma cells Marginal zones contain large numbers of macrophages and phagocytes that degrade trapped cells and particles
54
What is the? Periarteriolar Lymphoid Sheath
Diffuse lymphoid tissue forms a cuff around the arterial branches, composing the PALS. PALS are populated by T-Cells. PALS in addition to the Lymphoid nodules constitute the white pulp.
55
White pulp is...
composed of diffuse and nodular lymphoid tissue. White pulp is organized around the arteries of the parenchyma. Has both B and T cells. A white island in a sea of red.
56
Red pulp is...
Diffuse T cells infiltrated with RBC in lymphoid tissue.
57
Describe a Type I Hypersensitivity Reaction
In most cases it results from antigen-induced release of vasoactive mediators from mast cell granules. Examples of antigens include pollens, foods, drugs, and insect venom.
58
Describe a Type II: Cytotoxic Antibody Reactions
Involve primarily either the combination of IgG or IgM antibodies attached on the surface of normal tissues (i.e. RBC’s) due to absorption of an antigen. Examples includes mismatched blood transfusions, Goodpasture Syndrome, or Erythroblastosis fetalis
59
Describe Type III: Immune Complex Hypersensitivity Reactions
Circulating antigen-antibody immune complexes are deposited in tissues, complement is activated, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN’s) are attracted to the site. They release lysosomal enzymes, causing tissue damage and inflammation Examples of immune complex diseases include Glomerulonephritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
60
The most important thing to know about Type IV: Cell-Mediated Reactions or Delayed Hypersensitivity
No complement, no antibodies Working with T cells
