- Back
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 |
