Effector Mechanisims Of Humoral Immunity (Ch. 8) Flashcards
How do vaccines work
By stimulating ab
What does TNF do
Stimulates inflammation, coag., and apoptosis
What is the function of IgG
Opsonization of Ag for phagocytosis
Act. Of compliment pathway
ADCC by NK cells
Feedback inhibition of B Cell activation
What is the function of IgM
Activation of classical pathway complement
What is the function of IgA
Mucosal immunity
What is the function of IgE
Eos and mast cell mediated defense against parasites
What is the role of FCRN and how does it work
Keeps IgG alive for a long time
Binds to endosomes with IgG/Ag complex
Separates IgG from Ag and transports IgG back to surface of the cell.
What IgG in humans binds to macro. And neutrophils to ingest microbes and what do they bind to?
IgG1 and IgG3 which bind to FcyR1
Where does Ab mediated phagocytosis (using IgG1 and IgG3) usually occur
In the spleen
What is the function of FcyR1
Ab mediated phagocytosis
What is the function of FcyRIIB
Feed back inhibition of B cells, attenuation of inflammation
What is the function of FcyRIIIA
ADCC in NK cells
What is the function of FceR1
Activation of mast cells and eosinophils
Pooled IgG from healthy pt. Will do what
Treat inflammation
What cells express FcyRIIIA and what do they do
NK cells express this, allows NK cells to bind to IgG on microbes and activate a release of granules to kill microbe
Called Ab-dependent cellular cytoxicity (ADCC)
