Lecture 13+14 Flashcards
cellular components of the innate system
monocytes / macrophages neutrophils eosinophils basophils mast cells NK cells
cellular components of the adaptive immune system
B cells / plasma cells
T cells
humoral components of the innate system
complement cytokines lysozyme acute phase proteins interferons
humoral components of the adaptive immune system
antibody
cytokines
complement
myeloid cells (innate)
Polymorphonuclear: Neutrophils, Eosinophils,
Basophils, Mast cells
Mononuclear: Monocytes/Macrophages
lymphoid cells (innate)
Mononuclear: Natural Killer Cells
Lymphoid (adaptive)
mononuclear: B and T cells
neutrophils (granulocyte)
multi-lobed nucleus: 2-5
1st to arrive at the site of inflammation
high numbers = infection
destroy by phagocytosis
release hydrolytic enzymes
short-lived
Eosinophil (granulocyte)
bi-lobed nucleus
located mainly in the tissues
small golgi and limited ER and mito
phagocytize
Specific granules and azurophilic granules
functions:
Play a role in elimination of parasitic
helminths and allergic reactions
Phagocytize antigen-antibody complexes
basophils (granulocyte)
bi-lobed, S shaped nucleus
basophilic specific granules (heparin, histamine, chemotactic, peroxidase)
not a professional phagocyte
play a role in allergic reactions
mast cells (granulocyte)
similar to basophils
play a role in the development of allergies
two pathways for activation:
innate TLR and antibody dependent (IgE)
leukocytes (agranulocyte)
also known as mononuclear leukocytes
white blood cells
one-lobed nucleus
no granules in the cytoplasm
lymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages
monocytes and macrophages (agranulocyte) role
- survey tissue compartments
- ingest and eliminate foreign materials
- extract immunogenic information from foreign matter
dendritic cells
long membranous extensions
CD14+
4 major groups: • Lymphoid or Plasmacytoid-derived DC • Monocyte-derived or Myeloid DC • Langerhans DC • Follicular DC
functions:
surveillance
initiation of inflammatory response
antigen processing and presentation
3 populations of lymphocytes
NK cells
B cells
T cells
