Introduction to Immune System
Type of immunity that recognizes molecules common to many pathogens
Innate Immunity
Type of immunity that recognizes very specific macromolecules
Adaptive Immunity
An antigen that can induce an immune response
Immunogen
An antigen that cannot induce an immune response
Hapten (unless coupled with immunogen)
Present peptide antigens to T-cells, determine tissue type for organ transplantation
MHC
All leukocytes differentiate from this
hematopoetic stem cells in the bone marrow
Immunity is conferred on individual when they are themselves infected or vaccinated
Active immunity
If effectors are transferred from one individual to another, they confer_____
Passive Immunity
Granulocytes/Polymorphonuclear cells
Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils
Short-lived Leukocyte, innate
Granulocytes (monocytes in b/w)
Long-lived Leukocyte, adaptive
Lymphocytes, NK cells are innate (monocytes in b/w)
Granulocytes recognize ____ targets by the presence of ______ and particles coated by _____. Granulocytes have an _____ ability to recognize a foreign invader
multiple, PAMPS, antibodies
Lymphocytes recognize ____ target shape and a _____ fraction will be activated by a particular pathogen or invader
one, small
Play a major role in late phase of hypersensitivity reactions
Eosinophils
Play a major role in the immediate phase of hypersensitivity reaction
Basophils
Antigen presenting cells that bridge the innate and adaptive immune systems
Monocytes (become macrophages in tissue)
