Immunity, Inflammatory Disorders, Immunosuppressive, and Anti-Inflammatory Agents Flashcards
1
Q
Innate Immunity
A
- soluble factors (complement and cytokines)
- recruit neutrophils and macrophages
- destroy microbes
- complement
2
Q
Interferons
A
viral infections
3
Q
Tumor necrosis factors
A
malignancy
4
Q
Transforming growth factors
A
wound healing
5
Q
Interleukins
A
multiple functions
6
Q
chemokines
A
chemoattractants
7
Q
Colony-stimulating factors
A
hemopoietic cell differentiation
8
Q
Acute Phase Reactants
A
- injury/infection/trauma/malignancy
- neutrophils and macrophages secrete cytokines
- liver produces acute phase reactants
- suppress inflammation
9
Q
IgA
A
secretory and mucosal immunity
10
Q
IgD
A
unknown significance
11
Q
IgE
A
allergy and parasitic diseases
12
Q
IgG
A
bacterial infections
13
Q
IgM
A
opsonization
14
Q
Cell-Mediated Immunity
A
- antigen-presenting cells - macrophages and langerhans cells
- activated T cell induce cell-mediated immunity
* *intracellular bacteria
* *viral infetions
* *fungal infections
* *graft-versus-host disease
* *delayed type hypersensitivity reaction
15
Q
CD4 Helper T Cells
A
- induce B-cell differentiation
- induce CD8 cytotoxic T-cell
- produce lymphokines
- regulate erythropoiesis
16
Q
CD8 (cytoxic/suppressor) T cells
A
destroy virally infected cells
17
Q
Evaluation of B-cell function
A
- measure serum IgG, IgA, IgM
2. assessment of antibody function (titers)
