for extracellular path, secrets IL17 —->TGF-beta, IL6
immunodeffi: Hyper IGE syndrome
Treg
stops everything, immonodeff: IPEX
FOXP3 mutation
IPEX syndrome, immune dysregulation of t-cells
Respitory burst
=oxidative burst, activation phagocyte NADPH oxidation complex
plays a role in both the creation and neutralization of ROS.
Myeloperoxidase contains a blue-green, heme-containing pigment that gives sputum its color.
X-linked (Bruton) agammaglobulinemia
defect in BTK, a tyrosine kinase—>no B-cell maturation, in Boys, CD19
Autosomal dominant hyper-IgE-syndrome/ Job syndrome
def. in TH17 cell due to STAT3 mutation—–> impaired recruitment of neutrophils
