B. Biology Flashcards
intro to immune 1
lymp nodes contain T, B cells, and plasma cells
spleen
largest lymphoid issue, filter blood borne pathogens
immune cells diagram
lymphoid progenitor: T, B, NK
myeloid: neut, baso, eosino, mast, macrophages
humoral immunity
Antibody, by B cells
cell mediated
T cells, and other immune cells
APC: Macro, Bcells, dendritic cells
activate T cell-> release mediators produce inflammatory response
Dendritic cells
activate t cell by clonal expansion
Thelper
activated by CD4 receptors and TC receptors
Tcyt
have TCR and CD8, kill virally infected cells
Basophils release histamine
eosinophils release leukotienes, cytokines (interleukins, TNFa)
Mast cells
Activated by IgE, degranulation and release of histamines
IgE bound to mast cells though Fc e receptor
Atopy produce more IgE
Cytokines
Interleukins: IL-1 pro inflammatory
IL-8 chemokine for neutrophils (attrracts)
Cysteinyl Leukotrienes: contract smooth muscle, attract leukocyte
TNFa: pro inflammatory, chemotactic(attract inflammatory cells)
Allergy. Phase 1: induction
Allergen caught by APC - present to T cells - produce interleukins - stimulate B cells produce IgE - IgE bind to basophils and mast cells
Degranulation
Vasodilation/oedema
Bronchoconstriction
Mucus production
