The Immune Response to Infection Flashcards
Which antibody is present in secreted mucous?
IgA
What are the polymorphonuclear cells?
Neutrophils
Eosinophils
Basophils
Mast cells
What are the mononuclear cells?
Monocytes
Macrophages
What is the difference between monocytes and macrophages?
Monocytes are produced in the bone marrow, circulate in the blood and migrate to tissues where they differentiate into macrophages.
What do macrophages differentiate to in the liver?
Kupffer cells
What do macrophages differentiate to in the kidneys?
Mesangial cells
What do macrophages differentiate to in the bone?
Osteoclasts
What do macrophages differentiate to in the spleen?
Sinusoidal lining cell
What do macrophages differentiate to in the lung?
Alveolar macrophages
What do macrophages differentiate to in neural tissue?
Microglial cells
What do macrophages differentiate to in connective tissue?
Histiocyte
What do macrophages differentiate to in the skin?
Langerhans cell
What do macrophages differentiate to in the joints?
Macrophage-like synoviocytes
How do immune cells detect pathogens?
Express pattern recognition receptors
Express Fc receptors for Ig
How are phagocytes recruited?
Cellular damage and bacterial products trigger the local production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines which leads to either cytokines activating the vascular endothelium, thus enhancing permability OR chemokines attracting the neutrophiles
