Immunity Flashcards
Three outcomes from Complement Proteins
1 - inflammation
2 - membrane attack complex
3 - opsonization
Three ways Complement Proteins become activated?
Classic pathway
Mannose-binding lectin pathway
Alternative pathway
What type of phagocytic cell is only found in the blood or inflamed tissue?
Neutrophils
PRR
Pattern-recognition receptors
TLRs
Toll-like receptors
PAMPs
Pathogen-associated molecular patterns
How does the immediate innate immunity respond to a virus?
1 - complement proteins
2 - resident phagocytes
3 - Inflammation
Innate Steps used to deal with an extracellular pathogen
phagocytose
release cytokines
bring in more phagocytes
Why is the thymus considered a primary lymphoid tissue?
This is where T cells get educated here
