Immunology Flashcards
Cells in follicle of LN
B cell
Cells in paracortex of LN
T cells
Site of LN enlarged during reaction to virus
paracortex
Primar vs secondary follicle in LN
Primar- dense and dormant
Secondary- pale center, active
Cells in medulla of LN
reticular cells and macrophages
Location and function of high endothelial venules of LN
paracortex, T and B cells enter from blood
LNs that drain upper limb, breast, skin above umbilicus
axillary
LNs that drain testes, ovaries, kidneys, uterus
para-aortic
LNs that drain dorsolateral foot, posterior calf
popliteal
LNs that drain lung
hilar
LNs that drain trachea, esophagus
mediastinal
Pathways affected by splenic dysfunction
IgM, C3b opsonization
Cells in periarterial lymphatic sheath of spleen
T cells
Cells in Red pulp of spleen
RBCs
Cells in germinal centers of spleen
B cells
Cells in marginal zone of spleen
APCs, B cells
Describe cortex of thymus
dense, immature T cells, positive selection
Describe medulla of thymus
pale, mature T cells, negative selection
What is contained in Hassall corpuscle of thymus
epithelial reticular cells
Origin of thymus
epithelium of 3rd pharyngeal pouch
MHC I loci (HLA)
HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C
MHC II loci (HLA)
HLA-DR, HLA-DP, HLA-DQ
MHC: CD4 vs CD8
MHC I binds CD8, MHC II binds CD4
what does b2 microblobulin do?
transports MHC 1 to surface
