16
Q

what are complement and what do they do

A

inactive serum proteins
direct lysis
coat invading organisms

17
Q

what do antibodies/immunoglobulins do

A

bind to antigens

18
Q

types of cytokines

A
interferons 
interleukins
colony stimulating factors
chemokines
tumour necrosis factors
19
Q

what do chemokines do

A

direct leukocyte movement from blood to tissues

20
Q

what do tumour nercrosis factors do

A

mediate inflammation and cytotoxic reactions

21
Q

what do CSF do

A

direct differentiation of bone marrow stem cells

22
Q

what do inerkuekins do

A

pro or anti-inflammatory

dive cell division/differentiation

23
Q

what do interferons do

A

stop viral spread

activate T cells

24
Q

regions of immuoglobulin

A

Fab

Fc

25
Q

describe Fab regions

A

head regions

hyper varible

26
Q

Fc regions

A

constant tail region

27
Q

how can an antibody link microbe and phagocyte

A

WBC has a Fc receptor
AB binds via Fc
AB binds to forge in by Fab region

28
Q

IgG image

A

Y shape

29
Q

IgM

A

pentamer i.e. a pentagon

or monomeric form (mIgM)

30
Q

where is IgM mainly found

A

blood

31
Q

IgA

A

dimer

mainly a monomer in blood until it crosses cells

32
Q

what is the secreted form of IgA always

A

dimer

33
Q

IgD

A

usually membrane found form

34
Q

what is IgE bound to

A

mast cells or basophils

35
Q

what is inflammation

A

series of reactions that brings cells and molecules of the immune system to sites of infection or damage

36
Q

hallmarks of inflammation

A

increased blood supplu
increased vascular permability
movement of leukocytes from circualtionto tissues

37
Q

types of inflammation

A

acute

chronic

38
Q

what is acute inflammation

A

complete elimination pathogen followed by resolution of damage, disappearance of leukocytes and full regeneration of tissue
