Natural Killer Cells
perforin and granzymes to induce apoptosis of virally infected cells and tumor cells. ENHANCED by IL-2,IL-12, IFN-beta, IFN-alpha. KILL when exposed to nonspecific activation signal on target cell and/or to an abcense of class I MHC on target surface
IgG
main antibody in 2” (delayed) response to antigen. Fixes complement, CROSSES the placenta (passive immunity for the baby), opsonization bacteria, neutralizes bacteria toxins and viruses
IgA
prevents atachement to mucus membrane. DOES NOT fix complement. Monomer (cirlation) Dimer (secreted). Found in tears, saliva, mucus, early breast milk (colostrum)
IgM
1” (immediate) response to an antigen. Fixes complement. DOES NOT cross the placenta. Ag receptor on surface on the surface of B cells
