A

TNF and IL-1

27
Q

leukocyte adhesion deficiency

A

CD18 on integrins

clinically see delayed separation of umbilical cord, increased circulating neutrophils, increased bac infection w/ no pus

28

A

IgG and C3b

30
Q

Chediak-Higashi syndrome has

A

impaired phagolysosome formation

clinically: pyogenic infection, neutropenia, giant granules in leukocytes, defective primary hemostasis, albinism, peripheral neuropathy

31
Q

killing in phagolysosomes done by

A

HOCl

O2 –> O2- –> H2O2 –> HOCl
enzymes: NADPH oxidase, SOD, MPO

32
Q

Chronic granulomatous disease is characterized by

A

poor O2 dependent killing due to NADPH oxidase defect

clinically: infection with catalase (+) organisms
test with NBT dye: colorless = (+)

33

macrophage peak at

A

2-3 days after inflammation begins

kill via lysozymes

35
Q

anti-infammatory cytokines produced by macrophages

A

IL-10 and TGF-B = resolution and healing

36
Q

produced by macrophages to recruit more neutrophils

A

IL-8 = continued acute inflammation

37
Q

abscess is

A

acute inflammation surrounded by fibrosis

38
Q

macrophages produce chronic inflammation when

A

macrophages present antigen to CD4+ helper T cells

39
Q

chronic inflammation characterized by

A

presence of lymphocytes and plasma cells

40
Q
