Microanatomy Flashcards
What are the large azurophilic granules (non-specific) in neutrophils?
Myeloperoxidase (antimicrobial) Acid Hydrolase (work at low pH)
What are the small eosinophilic granules (specific) in neutrophils?
Lysozyme (digests bacterial cell wall)
Lactoferrin (sequesters iron)
Type IV Collagenase (aids in migration)
What are the specific granules (eosinophilic, large) in eosinophils?
Major Basic Protein
Eosinophillic Cationic Protein
Neurotoxin
Histaminase
