Immune Flashcards
under function abnormality of immune
HIV
immunosuppression
over function abnormality of immune
autoimmune disease
unhelpful abnormality of immune
transplant
2 types of immunity
innate and acquired/adaptive
first line of defense
innate immunity
has external and internal defense
innate
2 types of innate immunity
non-specific
non-adaptive
same response for different pathogens (virus, fungi)
Includes inflammation phagocytes
non specific innate immunity
no memory of pathogen
non adaptive innate immunity
Specificity and Memory increase for?
adaptive or acquired immunity
Transplacental antibodies, breast milk
passive immunity
vaccine, natural infection
active immunity
first response external responses
physical and chemical
skin, mucus, cough, sneeze
physical/mechanical barrier
lysozyme (tears)
chemical/biochemical barrier
2 factors of internal defense
soluble
cellular
cytokines are what kind of internal defense
soluble factor
neutrophils, natural killer cells are what kind of internal defense
cellular factors
internal defenses create what
PAMPs
what does PAMPs stand for
pathogen associated molecular patterns
example of PAMPs
interferons
Start local reaction
Inc vascular permeability, change blood flow, WBC migration
PAMPs
the 3 ways how our body recognizes self vs non-self
MHC class I genes class II genes
Membrane proteins to present antigens to T cellsspecificity
HLA: Genes from Chromosome 6
Autoimmune diseases prevalent – RA, graft vs host disease, etc
MHC
HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C
On all nucleated cells; maternal + paternal genes
class I genes
HLA-DR, HLA-DP, HLA-DQ
On skin cells, dendritic cells, monocytes/macrophages, B cells, activated T cells
class II genes
any foreign substance that causes immune ponse
Bacteria, virus, transplant tissue
Must activate B cell receptors
antigen
SPECIFIC, superficial pieces of antigen that bindsto T cell receptor or antibody
epitope
made by B cells, interact with epitope
antibody
Innate immunity
Ingest ???? and kill them to prevent infection
pathogens
phagocytes Initiate immune response via release of
interleukin-1
first defense
Die after phagocytosispus
neutrophils
Filter debris after neutrophils, clean up bacteria
Macrophage takes epitope and presents it to CD4 or T4
monocyte
macrophages
allergic reaction
eosinophils
basophils
Functions: Initiate immune response Increased temperature (fever) via hypothalamusIncreased serotonin (sleep,nausea) Lowers pain threshold via prostaglandin
interleukin-1 functions
Coat pathogens so they are targeted by phagocytes
Released by cells infected with virus to protect healthy cells Inhibit tumor growth
Decreases the rate of infection
interferon
Function: kill infected cells, tumor cells
natural killer cells
Large, granular lymphocytes
Stored in blood and spleengo to infected tissue with inflammatory cytokines
natural killer cells
NO antigen specific receptors, USE activating or inhibitory receptors
natural killer cells
Mediated by B cell antibodies
humoral immunity
Attack free floating pathogens
B cells made in bone marrow and then spread through lymph system
B cell clones react to foreign antigens
Need signal from helper T cells to start to proliferate
Plasma cells are mature B cells that produce large quantity of antibodies
Memory B cells
humoral immunity
B cells make 5 types of antibodies:
Ig”letter”
GMADE
(antiviral, antibacterial, transplacental)
2nd common antibody
IgG
primary response antibody
IgM
(mucus membrane, breast milk, respiratory, GI)
antibody
IgA
(antigen receptor
antibody
IgD
