A

the largest white blood cell

30
Q

what do monocytes do

A

migrate into tissue and become macrophages

31
Q

what are monocytes recruited in

A

response to inflammation

32
Q

what do eosinophils do

A

undergo degranulation

support activation of other leukocytes

tissue repair

33
Q

name facts about mast cells

A

found in tissue

long lived

need stem cell factor

34
Q

name facts about basophils

A

circulate in blood

short lived

need IL3 and TSLP for survival

35
Q

what are the functions of mast cells and basophils

A

degranulation

cytokine secretion

36
Q

what are dendritic cells

A

phagocyte and antigen presenting cell

37

process antigens using MHC proteins

38
Q

what are functions of dendritic cells

process antigens using MHC proteins

39
Q

what are innate lymphoid cells derived from

A

ILC progenitor in bone marrow

40
Q

what are the functions of innate lymphoid cells

A

homeostasis

inflammation

early pathogen response

41
Q

how does the innate immune system respond to pathogens

A

Microbes have PATTERNS called PATHOGEN ASSOCIATED MOLECULAR PATTERNS

Damaged cells have DAMAGE ASSOCIATED MOLECULAR PATTERNS

Immune cells have SENSORS for these

42
Q

when does acute phase response occur

A

after injury or infection

43

epithelia barriers

46

do the innate and adaptive systems overlap

A

yes

47
Q

What’s can innate immune cell deficiencies results in

A

disease
