Q

How do pro-inflammatory cytokines induce inflammation?

A
  • induce fever
  • increase vascular permeability
  • recruit and activate leukocytes (neutrophils)
  • induce myeloid cell production bc neutrophils die rapidly

Q

How does phagocytosis differ from endocytosis?

A
  • Recognition activates signaling pathways to induce actin buildup
  • actin allows the membrane to extend

17
Q

What is pyroptosis induced by? What does it release?

A
  • induced by inflammosome activation
  • release IL-1b
18
Q

What does pyroptosis cause?

A

inflammation

19
Q

Innate lymphoid cells include…

20
Q

What do NK cells lack and have instead?

A
  • lack: PRRs
  • have: activation receptors (gas), inhibitory receptors (break)
21
Q

List the two functions of activated NK cells.

A
  1. kill altered self-cell by releasing proteins that induce apoptosis
  2. produce cytokines that induce responses (INF y/ TNF)
22
Q

Why does the NK cell not bind to the target cell in this example?

A
  • MHC I is on all cells
  • Inhibitory receptor recognizes the healthy cell and blocks it
23
Q

T/F. Dendritic cells are antigen presenting cells that activate naive B-cells.

A

False. Dendritic cells are antigen presenting cells that activate naive T-cells.

24
Q

What activates dendritic cells?

25
Q

What do naive T-cells mature to?

A
  • helper T-cells
  • cytotoxic T-cells
