immune high yield Flashcards
stages of infxn
attachment
replication
spread
shedding/elimination
endotoxins
lipopolysaccharides
gram - and listeria monocytogenes
exotoxins
proteins
more toxic
all major gram+ except listeria
gram - (vibrio cholera, e coli, subgroups)
nosocomial vs iatrogenic
nosocomial: institute given
iatrogenic: provider given
host response to chronic viral infxn
reduced # circualting lymphocytes
host response to acute viral infxn
lymphocyte proliferation (inc)
reduction of PMNeutrophils in circulation
NK and cytotoxic T cells kill infected cells
infx cells produce interferons
humoral response > IgM/IgG
host response to acute bacterial infxn
inc neutrophils
lymphocyte dec
host response to chronic bacterial infxn
dec neutrophils
inc monocytes
fungal infxn
delayed hypersensitivty, cell mediated
bridge between nonspecific and specific immunity
phagocytes/APC
macrophages, monocytes, PMNs, eosinophils
temperature is
sum total of all mitochondrial activity
temp brain center
ant hypothalamus
what inc set point temp
pyrogens (cause of fever); inc production of IL-1 > hypothalamus
what dec set point temp
aspirin, via inhibiting cyclooxygenase
steroids
t cells mature in the
thymus
spleen role in immunity
detains and inactivates/kills antigens
mucosa/GALT role in immunity
enteroendocrine, IgA, peyer patch
t cell type of immunity
cell mediated
specific immunity cells
neutrophils monocytes(blood)/macrophages(tissues) basophils eosinophils Blymphocytes Tlymphocytes
B vs T cells
B cells: antibody immunity
T cells: CMI
compliment two pathways
classical (activated by antibody-antigen AGAB rxn)
alternate: goes AROUND AG/AB rxn, activates compliment cascade in middle (ct C3 locus) w/o AGAB rxn
