Module 2: Normal Leukocytes Flashcards
G-CSF
Granulocyte - colony stimulating factor
M-CSF
Macrophage - colony stimulating factor
GM-CSF
Granulocyte/monocyte(macrophage) - colony stimulating factor
Stages of lymphocyte development
Lymphoblast
Prolymphocyte
Lymphocyte
Stages of neutrophil development
Myeloblast Promyelocyte Myelocyte Metamyelocyte Band Segmented neutrophil
The blast cell of the granulocyte series is the
Myeloblast
B lymphocytes are the primary source for
Humoral immune response
What type of lymphocyte transforms into plasma cells
B cells
T lymphocytes are responsible for
Cellular immune response
Regulation of antibody reactions
The primary lymphoid tissues are
Bone marrow and thymus
How long do monocytes circulate in the blood before moving into the tissue?
~36 hours
Variant lymphocytes account for what percent of lymphocytes in peripheral blood
5-6%
Increased numbers of variant (reactive) lymphocytes is typically seen in what disorder?
Viral infections
What is the best known monokine and what does it do?
Interleukin 1
Activates CD4 T cells by foreign antigen
Stimulates hepatocytes to secrete acute phase proteins
Stimulates GM-CSF
Acts as an endogenous pyrogen in the inflammatory response
When neutrophils move through the junctions between endothelial cells it is called
Diapedesis
Lymphocytes that lack both B and T cell surface markers are called
Null cells
2 types of null cells
Killer and natural killer cells
Killer cell function
Antibody-dependent cell-mediated lysis
