UNIT 2.2 Flashcards
(59 cards)
chemotactic factors of neutrophils
- bacterial lipoteichoic acid
- c’peptide (complement peptide) - C5a
- leukotriene b4
- mast cell derived chemotactic peptide
- neutrophil chemotactic peptide (interleukin 8)
monocyte triggering factors
- transforming growth factor
- monocyte chemotactic protein 1- MCT1
- RANTES
- Macrophage inflammatory proteins
Substance present on a pathogenʼs cell wall
● Also LPS
● More on detection
bacterial lipoteichoic acid
By the WBC, but specifically Basophils and Mast Cells
● Attracts leukocyte to the site of infection
● Inflammatory granules of basophil and mast cells
leukotriene B4
TNF alpha
● Released by Macrophage and Mast Cell
● Activated macrophage to induce further inflammation and phagocytosis
● With IL1
○ Pyretic or pyrogenic - causes fever
transforming growth factor
Attracting monocyte to the site of infection
● TNFB
● Interferon gamma IFNy
macrophage inflammatory proteins
Attracting monocyte to the site of infection
● TNF-B
● Interferon gamma (IFNy)
macrophage inflammatory proteins
opsonin receptors
- FcyR-IgG
- CR1- C3B
- CRP Receptors
multilineage production of
hematopoietic stem cells
■ Also known as multilineage cytokine
■ Released by many cells esp by the
lymphocytes
■ Increase hematopoiesis once it
triggers the bone marrow
IL3
causes the bone marrow to
produce more cells needed by immune
cell that will trigger the release of cells
IL3
promotes maturation of T
and B cells in their respective organs
IL7
immature thymocytes
● Double negative thymocyte (from bone marrow) in the
cortex through gene rearrangement becomes double
positive (to mature) through IL7
Cortex
Those with high affinity with MHC molecules
are eliminated via apoptosis while moderate
affinity can mature
TRUE
mature T cells & APC
Medulla
Starts at the cortex and mature and
stay in the medulla
Double Negative Thymocytes
goes to the Secondary Lymphoid Organ
Mature t -cell
release
cytokines that target dendritic
cell activity.
Thymic corpuscles
Promotes the action of the
APCs
● Also known as Hassallʼs
corpuscle
THYMIC CORPUSCLES
Filters the lymph of impurities
● Provides an environment where immune cells can interact
with foreign agents
LYMPH NODE
B cell area
Also known as the Germinal Centers of the
lymph node
CORTEX
resting /naive cells
■ Fresh from the Bone Marrow
primary follicle
primed B cells
secondary follicle
T cell area
○ Also known as the deep cortical region of the
Lymph Node
○ Near the Blood Vessels
paracortex
Plasma cells
○ Near the vessels so antibodies produced can be
released immediately
medullary cord
