not well developed in Di George
lymph node paracortex
lymph drainage of upper limb and lateral breast
axillary
lymph drainage of stomach

lymph drainage of sigmoid colon
colic –> inferior mesentaric
lymph drainage of rectum
internal iliac
lymph drainage of anus
superficial inguinal

superficial and deep plexuses –> paraaortic
lymph drainage of scrotum
superficial inginal
lymph drainage of thigh (superficial)
superficial inguinal
drained by right lymphatic duct
right upper quadrant - including right side of head
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
encoded by HLA A,B,C
MHC I
binds CD8
MHC I
mediates viral immunity
MHC I
antigen is loaded in RER
MHC I
encoded by HLA DR,DP, DQ
MHC II
binds CD4
MHC II
expressed only on antigen-presenting cells
MHC II
HLA-A3 disease
hemochromatosis
HLA-B27
Psorisis, ankylosing spondy, inflammatory bowel disease, reiter’s
HLA-DQ2/8
celiac
HLA-DR3
DM1, graves disease
HLA-DR4
RA, DM1
HLA-DR5
pernicous anemia, hashimoto’s thyroitis
enhance NK activity
IL-2/12 IFN-B/a
NK cell MOA
use perfornin and granzymes to induce apoptosis
NK cells attack
viral infected cells and tumor cells
induces NK cells to kill
exposure to nonspecific activation signal on target cell or to absence of class I target cell surface
good B cell function
make antibody opsonize bacteria neutalize viruses (IgG) activate complement (IgM, IgG) sensitive mast cells (IgE)
bad B cell functions
allergy (type 1 hypersensitivity) cytotoxic (type II hypersensitivity) immune complex (type III hypersensitivity) hyperacute and humorally mediated acute and chronic organ rejection
good T cell functions
CD4: help B cells make antibody and produce cytokines to ackivate other immune cells
CD8: kill virus-infected cells directly
bad T cell functions
delayed cell-mediated hypersensitivity (IV)
acture and chronuc cellular organ rejection
positive selection makes ____ cells survive
TCRs capable of binding surface self MHC
negative selection makes ___ cells DIE
TCRs with high affinity for self antigens
activates T cells
dendritic cells
macrophages
B cells
only APC that can activate naive T cell
dendritic
costimulatory signal activating naive T cells
B7 (on dendritic) and CD28 (on T cell)
receptor on B cell that binds to Th cell
CD40
secretes cytokines to determine class switching of B cells
T helper cell (CD4)
Th1 cell secretes
IFN-gamma
activates macrophages
Th1
inhibits Th1 cells
IL-4 and IL-10
secretes IL-4/IL-10
Th2
express CD4
Th1
Th2 cells secrete
IL-4/5/10/13
recruits eosinophils
Th2
inhibited by IFN-g
Th2
kills virus inducedm neoplastic and donor graft cells
cytotoxic T cells
MOA of
perforin and granzyme
cytotoxic cells express
CD8
express MHC 1
virus infected cell
express MHC II
B cells
supress CD4 and CD8 cells
regulatory T cells
express CD3/4/25
regulatory T cells
priduce IL-10 and TGF-B
regulatory T cells
function of IL-10 and TGF-B
antiinflamatory
“arms” of the antibody
Fab segment
