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
IgD
Unclear function. Found on surface of B cells an in serum
IgE
Binds mast cells and basophils. Cross links when exposed to allergen. Mediate immediate (type I) hypersentivity through release of inflammatory mediators (ie histamine)
Type I Hypersensitivity
Anaphylactic and atopic; free antigen cross links IgE; tigger vasoactive amines (histamines) act at post capillary venules; RAPID - PREFORMED ANTIBODY; TEST: skin test for IgE
Type II Hypersensitivity
Cytotoxic (antibody mediated) - IgM, IgG bind to fixed antigen on “enemy” cell leading to cell destruction. (1) opsonization - leading to phagocytosis or complement activity (2) complement - mediated lysis (3) Antibody dependent cell mediated cytottoxicity - due to NK cells; Test: direct and indirect COOMBs’
Type III Hypersensitivity
Immune complexes - Ag-AB (IgG) complexes activate complement –> attracts neutrophils –> neutrophils release lysosomal enzymes; TEST: immunofluorecent staining
