immunology Flashcards
site of B cell localization and proliferation
Lymph node follicle
active follicles
secondary
contain reticular cells and macrophages
lymph node medulla
houses T cells

T cells found in ___ of spleen
periarterial lymphatic sheath
B cells found in ____ of spleen
follicles in the white pulp of spleen
macrophages in spleen remove
encapsulated bacteria
immune issues in splenic dysfunction
low IgM–> lower complement activation –> low C3b opsonization
encapsulated bugs a problem in spenic dysfunction
strep p HiB neissera meningitis salmonella Klebsiella Group B Strep
function of thymus
positive selection of T cells (cortex) negative selection (medulla)
neutrophils, macrophages, NK cells, and complement mediate
innate immunity
T cells, B cells and circulating antibody mediate
adaptive immunity
MHC I and II
encoded by HLA genes and present antigen fragments to T cells. Bind TCR
