Immuno Random Flashcards
primary vs secondary follicles in LN
primary dense and dormant
secondary have pale central germinal centers and are active
enlargement of paracortex
extreme cellular immune response-viral infection
para-aortic LN

popliteal
dorsolateral foot, posterior calf
thoracic duct
left subclavian and internal jugular veins
superficial inguinal
anal canal below pectinate, skin below umbilicus, scrotum, vulva
location spleen
anterior to left kidney
9th-11th ribs
PALS in spleen
T cells
splenic dysfunction
decrease IgM leads to increase encapsulated organism
post-splenectomy
Howell-Jolly

location Hassall corpuscles
in thymus
physical barriers innate immunity
epithelial tight junctions, mucus
antigen loading MHC I
loaded onto MHC I in RER after delivery via TAP
antigen loading MHC II
loaded following release of invariant chain in an acidified endosome
associated proteins MHC I
beta2 microglobulin
associated proteins MHC II
invariant chain
A3

random addition of nucleotides to DNA during recombination
somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation
variable region
isotype switching
constant region
crossing IgA by
transcytosis
monomer vs dimer IgA
monomer in circulation
dimer with J chain secreted
thymus independent antigens
lack peptide component
weakly immunogenic, require boosters and adjuvants
ex-LPS
thymus dependent antigens
contain protein class switching and immunologic memory occur
acute phase reactants upregulated
c-reactive protein ferritin fibrinogen hepcidin amyloid A
acute phase reactants down regulated
albumin
transferrin
c-reactive protein
opsonin, fixes complement
hepcidin
decrease iron absoprtion by downregulating ferroportin and decrease release
reduction of albumin
conserves amino acids for positive reactants
anaphylaxis complement
c3a, 4a, 5a
c5a
neutrophil chemotaxis
inhibitors complement
DAF (CD55) and C1 esterase inhibitor
c3 deficiency
increases risk of pyogenic sinus and respiratory tract infection
increased type III HSR
labs c1 esterase inhibitor deficiency
increase bradykinin
decrease C4
Il-12
activates NK cells
induces activation of T cells into Th1 cells
TNF alpha
activates endothelium
causes cachexia in malignancy
mediates sepsis
IL-1,6, TNF-alpha
functions like GM-CSF
IL-3
