Polio, Measles
Major parasites
Malaria, leishmaniasis
Immunogen
causes an immune response
Antigen
something that an Ab binds to
IgA
tears, spit, gut
IgG
most predominant serum Ab
What Ig is involved with hyper sensitivity?
IgE
What Ig causes Immune probles when excessive?
IgD and IgM
Who has CD4?
T-helper
Adaptive cell responce
who has CD8?
T-cytotoxic cells
What is it about IgE that causes hypersensitiviy?
is "cross links"2 IgE's bind same antigen and cuase mast cell to release histamine
What is Heparnin
anticloting factor
What is plasma
the liquid and soluble proteins (non-cellular) part of blood
What is serum?
the liquid fraction of blood w/out cloting factors
What are the granulocytes?
Basophils, Eosinophils, and Neutrophils
What cells can perform Respiratory Burst?
Neutrophils, activated macrophages and eosinophils.
What cells can perform Respiratory Burst?
Neutrophils, activated macrophages and eosinophils.
what are some granule contents?
Myeloperoxidase
Defensins
BPI
Lactoferrin
Proteases
Myeloperoxidase
converts hydrogen peroxide to hypochlorite - Respiratory Burst
Defensins
antimicrobial peptides, cytotoxic to many Bac, Fungi, and som viruses
BPI
Bacterial Permeability Increasing protein - highly toxic to gram-negative bacteria
Lactorferrin
binds free iron, inhibits growth of microorganisims
What is important about Eosinophils?
Acidic Stain, elevated due to fungal infection, mature in spleen, pink/orange-bilobed
*important in defense against parasites and worms (helminths)
degranulation/respiratory burst
What is important about Nutrophils?
acidic/basic stain
first cells to arrive at infection
phagocytosis, degranulation, respiratory burst
multilobed
What is important about Basophils?
Basic Dye (methylene blue)-Blue
non-phagocytic
involved in allergi respones

Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas
Neutrophils-50-70%
Lymphocytes 25%
Monocytes- 6%
Eosinophils 1-3%
Basophils <1%
Largest Leukocyte
macrophage
Name some macrophages and where they are found
Kupffer Cells- liver
Mesangial cells- kidney
aveolar macrophages- lung
microglial cells- brain
these can also undergo respiratory burst, APC and have class 2 MHC
What are the major APCs?
macrophages, dendritic cells and B cells
Important features of Mast cells
mature in tissues, mediators of allergic responses, wound healing, basic stain (methylene blue), release granules containing histamine etc,
What cells have CD3?
Only T cells (helper and cytotoxic) have CD3
What is important about DiGeorge Syndrome?
impaired thymic development leads to a deficit of mature T cells --> immune deficiency
How does lymph get into the blood?
lymph empties into the blood via

the thoracic lymphatic duct empties into the left subclavian vein

the right lymphatic duct --> right subclavian vein
Lymph enters node via______ and exits via ________?
Lymph enters via afferent and exits via efferent lymphatic vessels.
Where in lymph nodes are B cells located?
Cortex
Where in lymph nodes are T cells located?
Para-Cortex
Where in lymph nodes are Plasma cells and Macrophages located?
Medulla
High endothelial venules (HEV)
post-capillary venous swellings in lymph nodes that allow for re-entry/ exit of lymphocytes
what is special about Yersinia pestis?
secrets antiphagocytic proteins that allows it to live in lymph tissues
What do I need to know about he Epstein Barr Virus?
attacks mononuclear cells B cells and T cells, can never get rid of it b/c may invade bone marrow and B cells think EBV proteins are normal
what causes impairment of lymphocyte apoptosis?
a mutation in the Fas gene accumulation of lymphocytes,
Lupus like disease
