Micro Revision 2 Flashcards
It is observed that a cytokine released from NK cells is a potent stimulator of macrophages. Which of the following substances is most likely elaborated by NK cells to stimulate macrophages?
• CD8 surface markers
• Interferon gamma
• N-formyl methionyl receptor • Nitric oxide synthetese
• Surface immunoglobulin
• Interferon gamma
As part of the innate immune response, which cells participate in phagocytosis?
• Macrophages and NK cells
• Macrophages and plasma cells, • NK cells and neutrophils
• Macrophages and neutrophils
• T cells and mast cells
Macrophages and neutrophils
Which of the following is not characteristic for innate lymphocyte cells?
- They are lymphocyte-like cells
- They produce cytokines
- They express T cell antigen receptors
- They provide early defense against infections • They are stimulated by cytokines
They express T cell antigen receptors
T cells interact with
other cells and not with soluble antigens,
T cell antigen receptors are designed to see
displayed by cell surface molecules
The specialized cells that capture and display antigens and activate T lymphocytes are called
antigen presenting cells (APCs
used to refer to specialized cells that display antigens to CD4+ T lymphocytes
APC
all nucleated cells can display protein antigens to
CD8+ T lymphocytes,
The displaying host cell–associated antigens for recognition by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells is performed by specialized proteins called
major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules
most effective APCs for activating naive T cells
Dendritic cells
Macrophages and B lymphocytes also function as APCs for
previously activated CD4+ helper T
Effector T cells
Dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes express
class II MHC molecules
What happens after naive T cells are activated by dendritic cells
Differentiation into effector cells
What type of immunity occurs when macrophages initiate effector T cells by introducing a microbe
Cells mediated immunity
What type of immunity occurs when B cells initiate effector T cells by introducing a microbe
Humoral immunity
