Overview Of Immune Flashcards
Step 1 of immune response
Start immediate response with what we have innately or available
Step 2 of immune response
Innate
Recognize invader, adapt to it
Remember invader for future
Step 3 of immune response
Bring all components together to launch a full-fledged attack
Step 4 of immune response
Retract the attack once invader is gone
3 outcomes of complement
Define the hard one
Opsonization
Direct lysis
Chemotaxis / pro inflammatory effect
release C3a and C5a which activate immune cell recruitment
What 2 things reduce binding of complement
Capsule and peptidoglycan of gram positive
Innate immune is ____ line of defense
Second
Examples of phagocytes
Neutrophils and macrophages
Difference between macrophages and neutrophils
N = kill by eating
M = kill by eating AND release cytokines
Small proteins
Cytokines
Communicate between cells and trigger a bunch of immunological functions
Cytokines
Movement of a cell in a specific direction based on gradient of increasing or decreasing concentration of a chemical
Chemotaxis
______ that act as a chemoattractant to ______ migration of cells are called ___
Cytokines
Guide
CHEMOKINES
Classic example of a Pattern recognition receptor recognizing a Pathogen associated molecular pattern
TLR4 recognizing LPS
Purpose of cytokines
Amplification of immune response
Know what invader looks like and the right weapons to make because of______
Antigen Presenting Cells
What are antigens recognized by
B and T cells
Immune cells that process and present antigens to lymphocytes
Examples
APC
Macrophage, dendritic cells, B cells
_____ are best at antigen presenting
Dendritic
_____ are best at degrading
neutrophils
