Immunology 16L Flashcards
Plasma cells are derived from _____
B cells
Effector T cells are derived from _____
T cells
Macrophages are derived from _____
monocytes
Neutrophils, Eosinophils and Basophils are all derived from ______
Granulocyte Macrophage Progenitor
Platelets are derived from ____
Megakaryocytes
Erythrocytes are derived from _____
Erythroblasts
A high affinity bridge formation on a forign body that enhances phagocytosis
opsonization
Any molecule that enhances phagocytosis by marking an antigen for an immune response
Opsonin
Antibodies can either do ______ by binding Bacterial toxins or _____ by binding the bacterial surface
Neutralization
Opsonization
The ______ system is used to classify antigens
CD
Cluster of Differentiation
These make up 60-70% of circulating white cells
Neutrophiles
These three types of cells are called lymphocytes
T cells
B cells
NK cells
These cells have some type of CD cell surface marker
T cells
These are large granular lymphocytes that that kill tumor cells and some virally infected cells
NK cells
Proteins that will alter the response of the immune system
Cytokines
Antiviral and anti-tumor activity. These molecules stimulate macrophages, T cells, B cells and NK cells
Interferons
These interferons are synthesized by macrophages, fibroblasts and others
Alpha and Beta interferons (also type I)
Produced by stimulated T cells, stimulates macrophages, and leads to differentiation of T cells and B cells
Gamma interferon (INF-γ)
This is the primary mediator of septic shock in humans and is responsible for vascular damage and fever
TNF-α
TNF-β is also called ______
lymphotoxin (LT)
the part of an antigen molecule to which an antibody attaches itself (a binding location)
Epitope
_____ form the antigen-binding site and are found on both light and heavy chains and contribute to the specificity of each antibody
Highly Variable Regions
This antibody is attached to B cells and is first to be used in an immune response
IgM
This antibody is on Mast cells and when triggered, causes the release of histamine
IgE
