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
