Innate Immune Cells Flashcards
1
Q
The production of all blood cells
A
- hematopoiesis
2
Q
What induces differentiation?
A
- growth factors and cytokines
3
Q
Innate Immune Cells
A
Myeloid Origin 1. Neutrophils 2. Eosinophils 3. Basophils 4. Monocytes 5. Macrophages 6. Myeloid dendritic cells 7. Mast cells Lymphoid Origin 1. NK cells
4
Q
Adaptive Immune cells
A
Lymphoid origin
- T lymphocytes
- B lymphocytes
- Plasma Cells
5
Q
Eosinophils
A
- antiparasitic and degranulate for damage because limited phagocytosis
6
Q
Basophils
A
- inflammation
- located in the blood
7
Q
Mast cells
A
- “tissue resident basophils”
- > located in the tissue
- Inflammation and immune surveillance
8
Q
Neutrophils
A
- “the ROCK of the cells”
- antimicrobial effectors
- phagocytosis, degranulation and NET formation
9
Q
Monocytes
A
- precursors of macrophages and dendritic cells
- limited antimicrobial function in blood
10
Q
Macrophages
A
- immune surveillance
- Only cells for homeostasis and nutrient recycling!
11
Q
Dendritic Cells
A
- immune surveillance
- antigen presenting cells!
