Test 4 Study Guide Part 6 Flashcards
Macrophages:
- Are called what in the bloodstream?
- What do they do in inflammation?
- Are called what in the bloodstream?
- What do they do in inflammation?
They ingest microrganism and ECM fragments
Excrete Nitric oxide (vasodilator, destroy bacteria)
Engulf remains of neutrophils
Phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils causes:
Macrophages to release growth factors and agents to stop inflammation and support repair.
NO has to functions:
Antibacterial
Vasodilator
B-lymphocyte involvement in inflammation:
Produce antibodies specific to antigenic determinants
Binding of antibodies to antigen:
Enhances non-specific response (due to antigen antibody complexes activating compliment system)
Act as opsonins
Process by which an organism is marked for phagocytosis
Opsinisation:
Opsonins:
- name two:
- what do they do?
- name two: Complement proteins Antibodies - what do they do? mark for phagocytosis, they help make bridges between pathogen and immune cell. helps hold organism in place and allow it to be easier to phagocytose
What promotes pain in inflammation?
How does aspirin inhibit it?
Prostaglandin E2
Inhibition of cyclooxygenase stops prostaglandin production, reducing pain
COX-1, COX-2 stand for what?
What do that do?
What inhibits them?
Cycloxygenase-1, Cycloxygenase-2
Make prostaglandins
NSAIDs (including aspirin)
If infection from inflammation continues, what will be produced to promote fever?
Interluekin-1 (endogenous pyrogen)
Chronic inflammation can lead to:
- Pulmonary disease:
- Diabetes II:
- Autoimmune disease:
- Arthritis:
- Neurological disease:
- Alzheimer:
- Cardiovascular disease:
- Cancer:
Are B and T cells visually distinguishable?
No
Where does B-cell activation usually occur?
in the germinal center of a secondary lymphatic organ.
What does an activated B-cell do?
Replicate.
Activated b-cell progeny will become either:
Memory cell
Plasma cell
Plasma cells produce how many antibodies a second?
2000
Antibodies:
- Alternative names:
- Mechanism:
- Alternative names: Gamma globulins Immunoglobulins - Mechanism: mark targets for destruction
IgG:
80% of antibody in plasma
Activates complement
Can cross placenta and leave the blood easily
IgA:
- two forms:
- Located
- Does not:
- two forms: monomer dimer - Located In body secretions (milk, saliva) - Does not: Activate compliment Enter tissues
IgE:
Important in allergic (immediate hypersensitivity) reactions
for antibodies…
Stock the Y is called:
top of the Y is called:
Which region varies in order to bind the antigen?
Crystallizable fragment (Fc)
Antigen-binding fragment (Fab)
Fab
Antibody receptors:
Found on B-cells
Very specific to one antigen
Antigen can be a carbohydrate or protein
B-cells when activated will produce only one antibody
Two pathways for activation of compliment system:
Classical pathway (faster. antibody-antigen complex by IgG or IgM) Alternative pathway (bind to target on pathogen surface)
