Innate Immune Defences & Inflammation 2: The Induced Response Flashcards
Cells of the innate & adaptive immune system
- The discovery of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) is blurring the traditional boundaries between innate and adaptive immune systems. Invariant natural killer T cells, some B cells at epithelial barriers (B1 cells) and gamma delta T cells have innate qualities whereas NK cells may adapt after their first encounter with a pathogen due to innate immune memory. T and B cells also have innate immune receptors such as TLRs.

Patients produce too much type 1 IFN causing abnormal inflammation throughout the body, especially in the skin, blood vessels, and lungs.
