Immunopathologyy Flashcards
innate immunity
already present in the body
immediate response
adaptive immunity
3rd line of defense
allows innate immunity to work first & comes in if needed
Active Natural immunity
natural contact and infection with antigen
usually permanent but maybe temporary
Active Artificial Immunity
antigen vaccinated
usually permanent but may be temporary
Passive Natural Immunity
natural contact w/ antibody transplacentally (mother to fetus OR through breast milk)
temporary
Passive Artificial Immunity
inoculation of antibody or antitoxin - immune serum globulin
temporary
where is T-cell (cell-mediated) from and located when it matures
from thymus
at maturity reside in blood and lymphatics
Function of T-cells
recognize specific antigens - cause inflammatory and cytotoxic response
Where are B cells (humuroral immunity) from?
bone marrow
Function of B-cells
in resting state / awaiting activation
activation leads to proliferation (w/ help of macrophages & T-cells)
What antibodies do B-cells release
IgG
IgA
IgE
IgM
Type 1 hypersensitivity antibody
IgE
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
histamine releases w/ other inflammatory mediators (progesterone) to enhance & lengthen the histamine rlease
what happens with widespread release of histamine (if this response becomes systemic)
- vasodilation
- bronchospasm
- increased mucus secretion
- anaphylaxis (edema)
Clinical Presentation of Type 1 Hypersensitivity
skin = hives
upper respiratory tract = sneezing & conjunctivitis
Anaphylactic syndrome
bronchial constriction
circulatory collapse
