specific immune response Flashcards
phagacyte
all types of white blood cell that is involved in phagacytosis
5 types of red blood cells
Never. Neutrophil
Let. Lymphocyte
Monkeys Monocyte
Eat. Eosinophil
Bananas. Basophil
two examples of phagacytes
neutrophils and macrophages
2 types of lymphocytes
- B lymphocytes
- T lymphocytes
T - lymphocytes
made in bone marrow
matured in thymus gland
cell-mediated immunity
T lymphocyte cells respond to cells that have been changed in some way.
what do cells need to be to invoke a response?
Changed…
by viral infection,
antigen processing,
mutation,
or to cells from transplanted tissue.
First step in cell mediated response
- After phagacytosis, macrophages process antigens from the surface of the pathogens to become antigen presenting cell
- the receptors of some t- helper cells fit with the specific antigen of the antigen presenting cell.
Fun fact about t- lymphocytes
There are about 10 mill different types of t- cells, each type with a different surface receptor
second step in cell mediated response
T helper cell activated and produces interlukins.
Stimulates more t - cells to divide more rapidly by mitosis.
what happens to activated t- helper cells
they are cloned
cloned t- cells, may develop onto or produce…
- develop into t- memory cells
- produce interlukins to stimulate phagacytosis
- produce interlukins to stimulate B cells to divide.
- develop into T killer cells.
What do all differentiated t cells have?
the same surface receptors as eachother.
T helper cells
- release interlukins
- interlukins stimulate other t- cells to differentiate
- interlukins stimulate B cells to develop and mature
- interlukins stimulate B cells to divide.
- interlukins stimulate and attract macrophages to ingest the antigen antibody complexes.
T-killer cells…
- a cytotoxic cell
- have receptors that are complementary to antigens of the infected cell.
- binds to infected cells and releases perforins, which make the membrane freely permeable, killing the cell
What are cytotoxic cells?
A type of immune cell that can kill certain cells, including foreign cells, cancer cells, and cells infected with a virus.
T- memory cells..
- stay in your body a long time after infection
- called immunological memory
- if they encounter the same pathogen again, they divide rapidly to form a huge colony of t-killer cells.
T memory cells are part of
immunological memory
T regulator cells
- suppress the immune system, acting to control and regulate it.
- stop immune response once a pathogen has been eliminated.
- makes sure the body recognises self antigens and does not begin an autoimmune response.
- interlukins are an important part of this.
Cytokines
cell signalling molecules that attract white blood cells to the site of damage.
released in inflammatory response as well.
opsonins
molecules that coat the pathogen so phagacytes can easily bind to it.
opsonins include…
- antibodies
- complement proteins
- other small circulating proteins
Interferons
a chemical (cytokine) released by virus infected cells that alerts neighbouring cells and stimulates them to heighten their antiviral defence
which cells are involved in the Humoral response
- b lymphocytes
- plasma cells
- memory cells
