Where do naive adaptive lymphocytes reside?
Naive T cell and B cells await in LYMPH NODES for APC to present an antigen to them so they can re-enter circulation and tissue organs in search of the pathogen.
Lymphatics drain lymph fluid (extraceullar fluid) from tissues to WHAT lymphoids to WHAT which empties to the WHAT?

polynuclear
3-5 lobs connected by thin strand
small numerous LILAC colored granules
chromatin is CONDENSED
What stains reddish orange?
Eosinophil
Does eosinophil have acidic/basic components?
Eosinophil have BASIC components
Why does Eosinophil readily absorb EOSIN an ACIDIC REDDISH dye?
Eosinophil have basic componets which means positive charge and readily takes up negative charged EOSIN dye
What is Major basic protein?
allow EOSINophils to bind to parasites surface CARBOHYDRATES, and disrupt its plasma membrane
Eosinophil primarily fights off what infection?
Parasites
Parasite coated with AB
Protozoa, and parasitic worms
Eosinophil is involved in what inflmmatory process which are also like what other leukocyte?
allergic reaction and also are like Basophils
Eosinophils also secrete histamines
How do you tell the difference between Eosinophils and Basophils?
Both are bilobular but Eosin stains REDDISH with REDDISH ORANGE granules and Basophils stain BLUEISH and have DARK PURPLE granules.
How do you tell the difference between Eosinophils and Basophils?
Both are bilobular but Eosin stains REDDISH with REDDISH ORANGE granules and Basophils stain BLUEISH and have DARK PURPLE granules.
Basophil has what type of cell border?
Basophils have a smooth cell border
Can you clearly see Basophils bilobed nucleus?
No, bc heavy dense dark purple granules obscure it
Basophils are important in what inflammatory process?
Allergic reactions
Basophils are abundant in what?
Histamines
Why does Basophils readily take up HEMATOXYLIN?
Basophils readily take up BASIC POSITIVE dyes, because it itself is ACIDIC.
Basophils are stained by what blue dye?
HEMATOXYLIN
Basophils degranulate from what stimulation of what two complement fragments?
C3a and C5a
How do you tell the difference between Mast Cells and Basophils?
Mast cells are LARGER than basophils
Mast Cells are OVAL and not round like basophils
Mast cells contain A LOT MORE GRANULES than basophils and so much so that the GRANULES obscures BOTH THE NUCLEUS and CYTOPLASMIC Border
cell border appears BUMPY
Who has bumpy cell border? Basophil or Mast Cells
Mast Cells
Who is larger basophils or mast cells?
Mast cells
Which cell is round and which is oval shape for mast cells and basophils.
Basophils are ROUNDER
Master cells are MORE OVAL
Which cell has bumpy border for basophils and mast cells?
Mast Cells
Which cell has smooth cell border for basophils and mast cells?
Basophils
Which cell has granules that obscure both the nucleus and cytoplasmic border?
Mast Cells
List the difference between Mast Cell and Basophils?
Mast Cells are LARGER
Mast Cells have a bumpy border
Mast Cells has much more granules than basophils so much so they obscure both nucleus and cytoplasmic border
Mast cells are OVAL not round
Basophils are rounder
Bilobed PMN leukocyte
Clear cell border
Granules obscure only the nucleus
T/F Macrophage nucleus lacks lobes
True
Do macrophages have granules in cytoplasm
yes but very few
Mast cells are functionally similar to basophils T/F
True
allergic rxn, inflammation
What’s a key difference b/w basophils and mast cells in terms of their residence?
Basophils are in CIRCULATION
Mast cells are found in TISSUES, OUTSIDE of BLOOD STREAM
Where can you find Mast Cells?
In Tissues, are often associate with BLOOD VESSELS and NERVES or FOUND close to surfaces that interface with external environment like SKIN and MUCOUS MEMBRANES
On a histology slide what environmental clues can tell whether that cell is a mast cell?
Mast cells are frequently found in TISSUE and closely to BLOOD VESSELS and NERVES or close to the surface like SKIN and MUCOUS membranes
If you see a cell that looks either like a basophil or mast cells but you also see rbc in the surrounding which cell is more likely?
Basophil since they are in circulation and Mast cells are found more likely in tissues
A cell is very large, OVAL shaped, and has bumpy border and nucleus and cytoplasmic border is obscured and stain bluish pruple with LOTS of granules? what is it?
Mast Cell
A cell has a smooth border, nucleus is obscured by granules, is round, and readily takes up Hematoxylin blue stain. What cell is it?
Basophil

Dendritic cell
When Macrophages and Dendritic cells encounter an antigen where do they take it to and who do they show it to?
They got to LYMPH NODES and show it to the T cell.
They also go to lymph nodes because their CCR7 are attracted to the CCL21 ligands expressed in high levels in the LYMPH NODE
Naive T cells are home to and localized w/in the what?
Lymph Node
T/F dendritic and macrophages also express CCR7?
True, their CCR7 are stimulated by antigens and they leave tissues and go to LYMPH NODES because
they are drawn to the CCL21 expressed in LYMPH NODES

Down regulate CCR7 and leave the lymph nodes because they aren’t retained there by CCL21
CCL21
Expressed in high amounts in lymph nodes
CC or Beta chemokine
