Mouse immune system Flashcards
PAMPs
Pathogen associated molecular patterns, ex lipno polysaccharide, bacterial flagellin, single and double stranded RNA, and non methylated DNA
PRRs
Pattern recognition receptors, TLRs, Nod-like receptors, and RIG-like receptors
TLR4
recognizes LPS
TLR3/7
ss and dsRNA
TLR9
DNA
Cells of the innate immune system
monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, innate like lymphocyte populations one, 2, and 3 including natural killer cells
Cells of the adaptive immune system
T&B lymphocytes, express a highly antigen specific receptor that has arisen through gene rearrangement
CD4+ T cells
T helper cells, recognize peptides presented in MHC class 2 and promote B lymphocytes activation and activate and regulate cellular immune responses via secretion of differing cytokines
CD8+ T cells
Recognized antigenic peptides presented in MHC class I and serve as cytotoxic cells during the cell mediated immune response where they can destroy infected cells
B cell major function
Produce highly antigen specific immunoglobulin’s which combined in inactivate pathogens in toxins, activation of B cells can lead to their differentiation to plasma cells
