Q

what are the different types of junctions?

A

desmosomes - connects epidermis to keratin, includes desmoglien, desmocollin, desmoplakin, plakophilin, plakoglobin, etc

Q

innate vs. adaptive immunity

which cells are involved in each and what is the difference between the 2?

A

innate - no memory cells, just what you are born with. cannot recognize self-antigens, just foreign antigens. includes dendritic cells, NK cells, phagocytes, and granulocytes

adaptive - relies on memory cells. can recognize self and foreign antigens. includes dendritic cells, B and T cells

24
Q

which cytokine promotes TH1 pathway? TH2 pathway? TH17 pathway?

A
  1. IL12
  2. IL4

TH2 pathway - promotes IL4, IL5, IL6, IL10, IL13 (e.g. atopic derm, lepromatous leprosy)
TH17 pathway - promotes IL6, IL17, IL22, IL 23, IL 36, and TNF alpha

25
Q

What is the clinical correlation with TLR2 and TLR7
