Non-Lymphocyte Leukocytes Flashcards
most abundant WBC in circulation
neutrophils
contain multilobed nuclei
neutrophils
most common polymorphonuclear cells
neutrophils
indicator of acute inflammation
neutrophils
neutrophils are attracted to inflammation sites via
C5a, leukotriene B4, IL-8
functions of neutrophils
phagocytosis
degranuation
oxidative burst
Neutrophil granules
Myeloperoxidase
Elastase
Lysozyme
NADPH oxidase
Lactorferrin
produces reactive oxygen species
neutrophil oxidative burst
ROS
superoxide
hydrogen peroxide
hypochlorite (bleach)
superoxide is produced by
NADPH oxidase
Chronic granulomatous disease is caused by
NADPH oxidase deficiency
hydrogen peroxide is produced by
superoxide dismutase (SOD)
hydrogen peroxide is degraded by
catalase
hypochlorite (bleach) is produced by
myeloperoxidase
activate after binding to IgE
basophils
basophil activation leads to the release of
histamine, heparin
mediate allergy/anaphylaxis
basophils
recruited by IL-5
eosinophils
releases major basic protein when activated
eosinophils
activated by Fc regions of antibodies
eosinophils
toxic to parasitic worms
eosinophils
contribute to allergy/asthma
eosinophils
inhibited by corticosteroids
eosinophils
activated by tissue trauma, anaphylatoxins, IgE, vancomycin
mast cells
mast cell degranulation leads to the release of
histamine, heparin, tryptase
special name for macrophage in blood
monocyte
activated by IFN-y
macrophage
produced by Th1 cells
macrophage
produces TNF-a, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12
macrophage
phagocytosis of bacteria, cellular debris, or senescent RBCs
macrophages
releases elastase or metalloproteinases
macrophage
APC vis MHC II
macrophages
major component of granulomas
macrophage
expresses CD14
macrophages
CD14
receptor for LPS
stimulated by IL-2, IL-12, and type 1 IFNs
NK
activated by cells lacking MHC I
NK
kills tumor or viral cells
NK
activated by cells bound with IgG
NK
antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC)
CD16 express on NK cells binds to Fc region of bound IgG, activating NK cell
activation releases granules containing perforin and granzyme
NK
perforin
forms pores in target cell membrane
granzymes
enters through perforin pores to induce cell death
professional antigen producing cells
dendritic cells
constitutively express MHC II and B7
dendritic cells
needed for CD4 activation
dendritic cells
link innate and adaptive immune response
dendritic cells
dendritic cells are called _______ in skin
Langerhans
