Interferons

Interfere with viral multiplication

Transferrins

Make iron hard to get to slow bacterial growth

Infra-a and B do what

Destroy mRNA in neighboring cells to slow viruses down

Innate immunity functions

Prevent infection, stop infection at breach site, slow it down until adaptive response can happen

Humoral immunity

Extracellular, B cells - - > plasma cells


Mediated by antibodies

Cellular immunity

Intracellular, CD8 - - > CTL


Mediated by T cells

Antigens

Proteins that evoke highly specific immune response

Epitope

Surface features targeted by host

Cytokines

Chemical messengers of immune system

Interleukins

Communicate between leukocytes

Chemokines

Induce migration of leukocytes to areas of infection

Clonal selection

It's when an immune cell that can handle the infection is identified and told to replicate like mad

MHC antigens

MHC-1 function to tell the immune system what is "self"

MHC-2

Tell the body what the infection or infected cell looks like

B cells

Can recognize whole antigens, and break them into readable fragments

T cells

Only recognize fragments of antigens presented to them

CD4 cells

Tell us which immune response to activate and also activate clonal selection

Antigen presenting cells

Dendritic cells, macrophages, b cells

Dendritic cells

In Lymph nodes, spleen, skin, determine if vaccines work

How to activate macrophages

Make them work, or cytokines will tell them to

B cells are a part of what immunity

Humoral, they are filters that bind to it's antibody and then present it on MHC-2

CD4 cells release what

IL2 to allow division and differentiation

TH1

Cellular, IL2, drive the response, produce cytokines

TH2

Humeral, IL4, make cytokines associated with b cell activation, allergies or parasites

CD8 make

CTL and CD4 which requires IL2

CD8 killing

CTL attached to target cell, either releases host cell or releases perforin and granzymes

B cell proliferation

Most become antibody producing plasma cells, some become memory cells for immunological memory

Clonal deletion

Removes b cells that are harmful to self
