This innate immune system cell starts as a monocyte?
Macrophage
This cell presents the antigen to the T Cells?
Macrophage
Macrophages produce cytokines, which can activate what type of cells? And kill what type of cells?
activate helper and cytotoxic T cells
kill- kill pathogen or tumor cells
What type of cells can inactivate pathogens?
Natural killer cells
Name the 3 main type of T cells?
Killer T, Helper T, Regulatory T
This type of cell kills virus infected cells with or without antibodies?
Killer T cells
This type of cell triggers target cells to commit suicide?
Killer T cells
These cells assist in antigen recognition and regulation?
Helper T cells
These cells secrete protein molecules called cytokines?
Helper T cells
Name 2 examples of cytokines
Interleukin 2 and interferon gamma
These cells activate helper and Killer T cells and kills pathogen or tumor cells?
Helper T cells
These cells help other T cells keep "under control"
Regulatory T cell
How many T cells are there?
trillions
The function of Histocompatibility complex proteins?
present antigen for T cells to "see"
This type of antigen found on surface of most cells in body, inform killer T cells what's going on Inside other cells?
Class I antigen
This type of antigen is made by antigen presenting cells (ex. macrophage), informs helper T cells problems exist outside of cells
Class II antigen
What doesn't kill anything, but plants the "kiss of death" an an invader? (tags it)
Antibody
What is opsonization?
The antibody prepares to eat
This type of antibody can dock on a virus that is outside cell and tag it to die?
Neutralizing antibodies
This system consists of 20 different proteins (made by the liver) working together to destroy invaders/signal immune system players "attack" is on?
Complement System
What system has 20 different proteins, made by the liver, working together to destroy invaders/signal immune system players "attack" is on
Complement system
Name the 3 different pathways of the complement system
classical pathway, alternative pathway, lectin activation pathway
Which complement system pathway depends on antibodies for activation?
Classical pathway
Does the complement system function automatically?
No, it must be activated to function
Which of the complement system pathways is antibody independent?
Alternative pathway
In the lectin activation pathway, mannose binds to lectin, what does lectin bind to?
lectin binds to carb molecule, carb molecules are on pathogens
What type of hypersensitivity type is the following: hay fever, asthma
Type 1.
IgE, mast cells, basophils, allergic mediators (peanuts, penicillin, etc), anaphylaxis, hay fever, asthma are what type of hypersensitive reaction?
type I
Immediate hypersensitivity corresponds with what type of hypersensitive reaction
type1
Which type of hypersensitivity reaction is related to blood group incompatibility, pernicious anemia, myasthenia gravis
Type II
Which type of hypersensitivity reaction is known as antibody mediated?
type II
Which type of hypersensitivity reaction corresponds with IgG, IgM causes cell lysis (some autoimmune diseases)
type II
Which hypersensitivity reaction relates to immune complex mediated
type III
This type of hypersensitivity reaction corresponds with sle, ra, serum sickness, rheumatic fever?
type III
