Cells and Tissues Flashcards
antiG that INDUCES an immure response
Immunogen
molecule that BINDS to and is RECOGNIZED by an antibody or T cell
AntiG
Type of antiBs Passive immune system receives
Receiving PREFORMED antiB
RAPID protection: passive or active
Passive
Duration of passive antiB’s
SHORT duration—half life about 3 wks
Where can we get passive immunity?
IgA in breast milk or humanized antB
EXPOSED to foreign antiG
Active immunity
Slow or fast protection for active immunity
SLOW protection
Duration of active immunity
Long duration→ d/t memory lymphocytes
What causes active immunity?
Natural infection, vaccine
Toll like receptors or Nod-like receptors are what type?
Innate receptors
= Pattern Recognition Receptors
Innate
Innate receptor diversity:
-Limited diversity, non-clonal expression—meaning very little genetic diversity with simular recognition patterns
Adaptive receptors are:
Antigen Receptors
Type of Adaptive receptors
- T Cell ReCeptors (TCR)
- B Cell Receptors (BCR)
- Somatic recombination → DIVERSITY and clonal
Does the innate system have memory cells?
no
Type of immune cells adaptive immunity express?
clones of lymphocytes remain in body and will recognise and respond to antG more rapidly then first exposure
Type of vaccine:
PROS: strong/life long
CONS: may revert to virulent form
LIve Attenuated
Micro-org is modified—decreases pathogeniticy and see limited growth post injection
Induces: Cellular response= T Cells
Live Attenuated Vaccine
Path is Inactivated (heat/chemically) but retains IMMUNOLOGIC EPITOPE on surface
Inactivated Vaccine
What type of response does inactivated vaccine induce?
Induces: Humoral Response = B Cells
Pros/Cons of inactivated vaccine
Pros: Stable and safer then live
CONS: weaker immunity—need a booster
Cells of Innate Immune System
a. Phagocytes-
= Macros and Neutros (MnoP)
Phagocytes
b. Granulocytes
= Eosinos, Baso, Masts (Be a GEM)
Cells Linking the INNATE and Adaptive immune sytesms
a. Dendritic Cells
- folicular DC, Conventional DCs and plasmacytoid DCs
- NK cells
Lymphocytes are part of what immune system
Adaptive immune system
Circulate and enter tissue and differentiate into tissue macrophage, present in all tissues of body
Monocyte/Macrophage
LOTS of cytoplasm→ moves into tissues→ becomes Macrophage
Monocyte
When does a monocyte get activated?
-monocyte is inactivated till become macrophage in tissue and has little pseudopods to reach out and engulf stuff
motile phagocyte (acid staining, red) KEY for PARASITE and ALLERGY
Eosinophils
Type of granules eosinophils contain
Granules contain Heparin + Hydrolytic enZ
Non-phagocytic (basic dye staining, blue)
Basophils
Type of IL basophils release
release IL4 (Th2 cytokine)
Circulate in blood
Release pharmagologically acitve immune mediators (histamine)
basophils
From bone marrow & emigrate/differentiate in tissue
Mast Cells
Type of granules released by mast cells?
granules have heparin and histamine
key for ALLERGY
Mast cells
Derived from same Bone marrow progeitor as Monos→ then migrate + reside in tissues near site of microbe entry
Dendridic Cells
Function of DC cells
b. Primary funx = APC
i. TRANSPORT and PRESENT microbial antigens to T lymphos in peripheral lymphoid tissues as matures DCs
- Large, granular lymphos that recognize foreign cells of many diff antigenic types
a. Lack T cell receptors and lack surface IgM or IgD
NK cells
Active w/out exposure to antiG
Active Independent of antiG presentation
NK cells
What kind of cytokines do NK cells release?
a. secreate cytotoxins such as Perforin and granzyme into cells
Specialize in killing of virus-infected cells and tumor cells
NK cells
