Lecture 3- Dendritic Cells and Complement Flashcards
What do dendritic cells do when they encounter a pathogen
Ingest using cytoplasmic projections, then display fragments (antigens)
What cells do dendritic cells activate
Helper T cells
What is the only antigen-presenting cell that can activate a naive T cell?
Dendritic cells
Specialized dendritic cells that live in the skin
Langerhans cells
Specialized cytoplasmic granules found in Langerhans cells
Birbeck granules
Which Dendritic cell types secrete interferon to fight VIRUSES
Plasmacytoid DC and Classical DC1
Which Dendritic cell types fight BACTERIAL infections by activating Helper T cells and presenting antigens
Classical DC2 and Follicular DC
Where can Complements be made
Liver, macrophages, mast cells, and neutrophils
What triggers the innate pathway
mannose-binding lectin binds to a microbe
Which pathway involves the formation of the terminal complement complex
Innate pathway
What triggers the alternate pathway
C3b protein binds to a microbe
What triggers the classical pathway
Antibodies secreted by B cells
which two pathways involve C9 polymerization
Innate and alternate
Which complement is produced by macrophages
C2
Which complement is produced by mast cells
C1q
