Monocytes
CD__ t-cells and CD__ t-cells are required to form _______ __ ______
CD4
CD8
Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs)

Th-2 cells
This type of hypersensitivity reaction consists of Th-2 cells activating B-cells that release IgE. These IgE bind to FC-receptors on mast cells resulting in mast cell activation and mediator release
Type 1 HS
Autoimmune disorders are typically which type of HS reaction?
Type II HS reactions
This type of HS reaction is characterized by excessive opsonization
Type II HS
This type of HS reaction is results from the formation and deposition of immune complexes (IgG+antigen or IgM+antigen) into blood vessels, skin, glomeruli, etc. that triggers complementation and phagocytosis in that area.
Type III HS
This type of HS relates to issues w/ CD4 and CD8 T-cell activation
Type IV HS
DM type 1
MS
Poison Ivy
PPD skin test
What type of HS reactions?
Type IV HS

What type of HS reaction?
Type I
High ferritin = _____ iron (Fe) levels
low
What does a positive APP or APR mean?
Positive acute phase protein
or
Positive acute phase reactant
Is ferritin a positive APP?
Yes
What does histamine do to endothelial cells in the capillaries?
Makes them contract = increase capillary permeability
Which cytokine causes increased fibrinogen levels leading to increase coagulation?
IL-6
Which leukocyte is not typically found in chronic inflammation?
