Immuno Flashcards
axillary nodes drain
all skin above diaphragm, breast, arm
superficial inguinal drains
all skin below umbilicus including lower anal canal and scrotum; except popliteal territory (post. calf + DL foot)
S’s in skine skies
s. pneumo
salmonella
GBS
PAMPs
bound by TLC in innate immunity i.e. by NK cells
ex: LPS, flagellin, ssRNA
TAP proteins
MHC-I
bring Ag from protasome to ER to get bound
Invariant chain
MHC-II
Blocks binding site in vesicle until fusion with PL
CD16
on NK cells, binds to Fc of bound IgG inducing ADCC
activate NK with:
IL-2, IL-12, IFN-a, IFN-b
activation of TH17
IL-6, TGF-b, STAT-3
activation of T-cells co-stim:
APC B7——CD28 T-cell (h or c)
activation of B-cells co-stim:
Th CD40L——–CD40R B-cell
cytokines inducting:
- IgG
- IgA
- IgE
- IgG = IL-4
- IgA = IL-5, TGF-b
- IgE = IL-4 + IL-13
inducer of APRs
IL-6
CRP functions:
opsonin
fixes complement
facilitates phagocytosis
Down regulated APRs:
albumin
transferrin (taken up by macro to hide Fe)
Inhibitors of complement
DAF (DC55) and CI-esterase inhibitor
anaphylaxis signals
via complement activation: C3a C4a C5a
