Morphology and LYmphoid organ (Ketchum) Flashcards
Primary cell types
B-lymphocytes (produce antibodies)
T-lymphocytes (produce antibody T-cell receptor)
Cellular immunity
T lymphocytes
cells themselves are involved
Humoral Immunity
B lymphocytes
cells themselves not involved, but their secretory product secreted in humor
Maturation of B lymphocytes
Bone marrow
Maturation of T lymphocytes (and NK cells)
Thymus
CD4
cell marker exists on surface of T helper cells
CD8
cell marker on T effector cells
Primary response
proliferation, produce clones
Secondary response
mount much more rapid and intense response because of memory cells that were made during the primary response
Vaccinate
giving target to pt that they will respond to
they will eliminate target
generate numbers of memory cells
Plasma cell
technically what make antibodies
endstage B cell
Peyer’s patches
large nodular (unencapsulated collections of nodules) found in gut
aka GALT (gut associated lymphoid tissue)
MALT
mucosal associated lymphoid tissue
under epithelium usually in throat/mucosal surfaces
