What happens during phagocytic barriers? What proteins are involved the barriers?
1. PRR (pattern recognition receptor) on the macophage binds with PAMP (pathogen-associated molecular pattern) on the bacteria. PRR does not binds to eukaryotic cells, it's specific to bacteria. Binding of PRR with PAMP induces engulfment.
2. Phagosome fuses with lysosome to form phagolysosome. Phagolysosome contains anti-bacterial enzymes.

B cells and plasma cells
phagocytosis can be carried out by what 4 cells?
neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells.
opsonization
Which type of Ab mediate opsonization?
get pathogens to be engulfed by phagocytic cells, by coating the Ag with Ab's.
IgG mediate opsonization.
what cell surface protein binds to IgA to facilitate its crossing epithelial cells to get into the gut lumen?
poly-Ig receptors
where does poly-Ig receptor binds to on IgA?
J chain
what's the function of secretory component on dimeric IgA?
stabiliza dimeric IgA in harsh conditions
secretory components are produced by what cell type?
mucosal epithelial cells
Antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxity (ADCC) involve which cells and which Ig? ADCC attachs both intra and extracellular pathogens.
cells: eosinophils and NK
Ig: IgG (viral infection) and IgE (parasitic infection)
function of IgE
involved in parasitic infection, allergic
function of IgG
protect the bodies against, virus, bacteria and fungi thru agglutinization, neutralization, opsonization and ADCC.
C3a, C4a and C5a, proteolytic complement fragments, are capable of inducing what?
inflammation
C3b and C5a acts as
opsonins by binding to specific receptors on the surface of phagocytic cells
C5, C6, C7, C8, and C9 (terminal complement proteins)
polymerize to form the membrane attach complex. This generates pores in the plasma membrane of the cell and lead to osmotic lysis.
end results of classical pathways (functions of complements)
1. opsonization and phagocytosis
2. stimulation of inflammatory rx
3. complement-mediated cytolysis
classical pathway are part of innate or acquired immunity?
part of acquired immunity
Mb-lectin and alternative pathways are innate or acquired immunity?
innate immunity
CD3, CD4, CD8 are found on T or B cells?
T cells
CD19 are found where
B cells
in the absence of interaction of T cell induced B cell differentiation, B cells differentiate into
IgM producing B cells
cytokine produced by T helper cell induce B cells to undergo clonal expansion and plasma differentiation to secret Ig. IFN-gamma, IL4, and TGF-beta (cytokines) induce B cells to secrete?
