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
