Q

Intracellular bacteria are eliminated by

A

phagocytes that are activated by Toll-like receptors, cytokines

17
Q

Defense against viruses is provided by

A

type I interferons and natural killer cells

18
Q

Natural killer (NK) cells recognize infected and stressed cells and respond by

A

killing these cells

secreting the macrophage-activating cytokine IFN-γ

19
Q

NK cells make up approximately…% of the lymphocytes

A

10

20
Q

On activation by infected cells, NK cells

A

empty the contents of their cytoplasmic granules into the extracellular space at the point of contact with the infected cell. The granule proteins then enter infected cells and activate enzymes that induce apoptosis.

21
Q

NK cell–activating cytokines (they activate nk)

A

IL15
IFN 1
IL 12

22
Q

How does nk cells active macrophages

A

Macrophages produce IL12

NK cells are activated and therefore produces IFN Y
