immunopathology Flashcards
4 categories of pathogenic microorganisms
virus, bacteria, fungi, eukaryotic parasites
antibodies are developed against ____
antigens
2 types of immunity
innate and adaptive
cells of immune system
leukocytes
leukocytes not involved in innate immunity?
B cell and T cell (adaptive)
these cells have to diferentiate in epithelial tissue
monocytes
only cell type of innate immune system that originates from common lymphoid progenitor
NK cell
first line of defense, also antigen presentation
macrophage
granulocytes containing active agents like histamine, activated when infection occurs
mast cell
these cells release lytic granules that kill some virus-infected cells
natural killer cells
an antigen presentation cell, promotes antigen uptake in peripheral sites
dendritic cells
B and T cells are called:
lymphocytes
soluble antigens will not be bound by ___
T cell receptors (without APC)
what are the APCs?
dendritic cells, macrophages, B cells
two types of functional T cells
functional cytotoxic (CD*+) and functional helper (CD4+)
what do CD*+ do?
eliminate virus infected cells
how regulate functional T cells?
regulatory T cell
what’s the function of memory t-cells
ensure rapid adaptive immune response when same pathogen invade again (circulate a long time)
B cells need helper ____
T cells
