Heme/Onc (F.A) Flashcards
erythrocyte lifespan
120 days
platelet lifespan
10 days
what is the vWF receptor on platelet?
Gp1b
what is the fibrinogen receptor on platelet?
GIIb/ IIIa
what is the order of leukocyte/ WBC differential
Neutrophils (60%) Lymphocytes (30%) Monocytes (6%) Eosinophils (3%) Basophils (1%) "neutrophils like making everything better"
what does a neutrophil look like normally
multilobed
hypersegmented neutrophil indicates? (6+ lobes)
megaloblastic anemia (folate or B12 deficiency)
band cells?
immature neutrophils. increased number suggestive of increased myeloid proliferation (infection or CML)
what are factors that attract neutrophils
c5a, LTB4, kallikrein, PAF, IL8
monocyte appearance?
large kidney bean nucleus
frosted cytoplasm
precursor to macrophage
what activates a macophage
gamma-interferon
jobs of a macrophage
(1) phagocytose
(2) APC- via MHC II
explain pathophys of sepsis
Lipid A in bacterial LPS (or LOS in Nisseria) bind CD14 on macrophages initiating septic shock (which goes on to cause greater inflamm/ cap perm, etc.
what does an eosinophil look like
bilobate nucleus with large eosinophilic granules
what causes eosiniphilia
neoplasm asthma allergic process chronic adrenal insuff. parasite (helminth)
NAACP
what causes basophilia (very uncommon)
CML- myeloproliferative disease
what do basophils release?
heparin (for anticoag) and histamine (vasodilation)
also leukotrienes
how do mast cells degranulate
they bind IgE via Fc portion, and attach it to the membrane..upon coming across an antigen, the IgE will crosslink –> degranulation
what type of HS reaction is mast cells involved in?
HS Type 1
dendritic cell functions
(1) highly phagocytic
(2) APC- via MHC II amd Fc receptors (B7) .. link between innate and adaptive immunity (bc constantly sampling and presenting)
what cells are lymphocytes
B, T, NK
have lg nucleus size of RBC
Bcell markers
CD19, CD 20, CD 21
what can B cells do
(1) become plasma cells and produce ab
(2) live as memory cells
(3) act as APC - via MHC II
80% of circulating lymphocytes are
T cells
T cell functions
(1) cytotoxic T cells– CD8+ that respond to MHC I
(2) helper T cells– CD 4+ that respond to MHC II
[ remember “rule of 8”, and both express CD3]
(3) regulatory T cells
what is necessary for T cell activation?
CD28
