Q

What do phagocytes produced when activated?

A
  • Cytokines
  • Chemokines
  • Hydrolytic enzymes
  • Antimicrobial peptides
  • ** This can occur solely by innate activation by adaptive maximizes this

16
Q

How is increased vasuclar permeability achieved?

A
  • Contraction of endothelial cells widening intracellular junctions
  • Primarily occurs in veinules
17
Q

What marks early inflammation?

A

Preponderance of neutrophils

18
Q

Order of arrival at inflammation?

A
  1. Neutrophils
  2. Macs
  3. Lymphocytes
19
Q

What marks chronic inflammation?

A

Lymphocytes as predominant cell type

20
Q

Where are TLRs primarily found?

A

DCs
Macs
Monocytes

21
Q

What is final step in path to proinflammator response?

A

NF kappa beta

22
Q

What does NF kappa beta do?

A

Activates genes encoding pro inflamatory cytokines

23
Q

What is gateway to adaptive response?

A

DC

24
Q

Characteristics of DCs?

A
  1. Found in all tissues/organs
  2. Multiple PRRs
  3. Phagocytosis
  4. APCs
  5. Direct type of adaptive response
  6. Secretion of cytokines to direct adaptive response by shaping lymphocyte differentiation
25
Q

What are NKs derived from?

A

Lymphoids

26
Q

What are NK cells good at recognizing?

A

Virus

Tumor

27
Q

What are NKT cells?

A
  • Are not NK cell
  • Subset of T cell with TCR restricted for glycolipid antigens
  • Function in cell mediated and antibody mediated response
28
Q

What are gamma delta lymphocytes?

A
  • Found in large numbers in GI/Lung mucosa

- Recognize bacterial intermediates in lipid synthesis

29
Q

What is the primary lymphoid tissue?

A

Bone marrow

Thymus

30
Q

What happens in thymus?

A

Lymphocytes learn to distinguish self from non self

31
Q

What is secondary lymphoid tissue?

A

Lymph nodes

Spleen

32
Q

What is recruitment of inflamatory cells characteristic of?

A

Innate response
