BL I Flashcards
Salk
Killed polio vaccine, given IV to activate IgG
Sabin
Live Polio vaccine, given orally to activate IgA. Banned because it spread to immunodeficient children.
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Linked with HLA-B27 gene. Causes inflammation of joint insertions.
Mitogens
PHA and PWW bind CD3 (expressed in all T-cells) to cause mass mitosis.
Treg
Uses IL-10 (FoxP3,TGF-b) to regulate T-helper cells and inactivate them.
Tfh
Activates B-cell in the follicles of the lymph node and allows IgM- to change to a different class.
CTL
Kills MHCI expressing cells, and activated by IL-2 from Th1
Th2
Expresses IL-4 activating M2/alternate macrophages, more common in healing. Activates b-cells and eosinophils.
Th17
IL-17 responds to extracellular bacteria and yeast
Th1
Expressed IFN-g to activate M1/classical/angry macrophages which are very destructive, and IL-2 to activate CTL
B-Cell Maturation
Pre (mu chain)- Pro (IgM in cytoplasm)- Immature (sIgM), if passes selection test, then mature (sIgM sIgD).
