Introduction Flashcards
exam 3
earliest response to infection
innate immunity
not “antigen specific”
innate immunity
no memory
innate immunity
- Skin/mucosa
- movement of mucus by cilia
mechanical barriers
hormones of the immune system
cytokines
released by liver during acute inflammation
C-reactive protein (CPR)
phagocytic celles, that are antigen presentation to T cells
macrophages
major white blood cell, polymorphonuclear
neutrophil
killing parasites/ allergies
eosinophils
allergic releases histamine and response to parasites especially helminths
Mast cells
can kill some virus-infected cells and some tumor cells
Natural killer cell
found in tissues and function to detect infection and elicit an innate response
dendritic
sentry/guard cell that detect infection and activates adaptive immune response
Dendritic cells
cells of the innate immune have receptors for pathogens
pattern recognition receptors
microbial product recognized by a PRR
pathogen associated molecular pattern
LPS infection?
gram negative bacteria
