define immunology
study of protection from foreign macromolecules or invading organisms and our responses to them
list 2 benefits of the immune system
protection from invaders

elimination of altered self
list 2 detriments of the immune system
discomfort (inflammation)

damage to self (autoimmunity)
list the 3 ways that animals defend themselves against microbial invasions
1) physical barriers (skin)
2) innate immunity (inflammation, defensins, macrohpages, lysozyme, neutrophils)
3) specific immunity ( antibody production- B cells, cell mediated immunity-T cells)
list the humoral and cellular components of innate immunity
humoral
complement
interferon
TNF

cellular
macrophages
neutrophils
general characteristics of innate immunity
antigen independent
no time lag
not antigen specific
no immunologic memory
genera characteristics of acquired immunity
antigen dependent
a lag period
antigen specific
development of memory
name the cells engaged with innate and acquired immunity
innate
macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, NK cells


acquired
T cells, B cells
T/F: acquired immunity is evolutionarily ancient
F: innate immunity is ancient
T/F: acquired immunity is rapid onset
F; it takes days to weeks
T/F: there are physical barriers assoc. w/ acquired immunity
F! no physical barriers
name the physical barriers assoc. w/ innate immunity
skin
gut villi
lung cilia
list the soluble factors assoc. w/ innate and acquired immunity
innate
many protein/nonprotein secretions

acquired
immunoglobulins (antibodies)
list the cells assoc. w/ innate and acquired immunity
innate
phagocytes, NK cells, eosinophils, mast cells

acquired
T and B lymphocytes
function of skin( squamous cells) in innate immunity
desquamation, flushing, fatty acids
T/F: there are physical barriers assoc. w/ acquired immunity
F! no physical barriers
name the physical barriers assoc. w/ innate immunity
skin
gut villi
lung cilia
list the soluble factors assoc. w/ innate and acquired immunity
innate
many protein/nonprotein secretions

acquired
immunoglobulins (antibodies)
list the cells assoc. w/ innate and acquired immunity
innate
phagocytes, NK cells, eosinophils, mast cells

acquired

function of GI tract ( columnar cells) in innate immunity
peristalsis, low pH, bile salts, fatty acids
function of lungs (tracheal cilia) in innate immunity
muco-ciliary elevator
surfactants
function of nasopharynx and eye (mucus, saliva, tears) in innate immunity
flushing
lysozyme
function of blood and lymphoid organs (phagocytes and NK cells) in innate immunity
phagocytes-phagocytosis and intracellular killing

NK cells-direct and indirect antibody dependent cytolysis
function of serum and other serous fluids (lactoferrin/transferrin, intererons/TNF, lysozyme, firbronectin/complement) in innate immunity
lactoferrin/transferrin-iron deprivation

interferons/TNF-antiviral proteins, phagocyte activation

lysozyme-peptidoglycan hydrolysis

fibronectin/complement- opsonization, enhanced phagocytosis, inflammation
list the serous proteins assoc. w/ innate/nonspecific immunity
acute phase proteins
interferons
lysozyme
lactoferrin
cationic proteins
which lymphocytes are assoc. w/ humoral responses?
B cells
which lymphoctyes are assoc. w/ cell-mediated responses?
T cells
action of B cells in humoral responses
B cells have immunoglobulins(recognize antigens), plasma cells make antibodies
2 types of T cells and actions
1) helper cells ( TH1-help cytotoxic T cells, TH2- help helper B cells)

2) Tc cells ( cytotoxic cells)-kill virus-infected cell and tumor cells
T/F: T cells recognize peptides of foreign agents
T
What molecules bind to MHC 1 and 2?
CD8-binds MHC 1

CD4- binds MHC 2
immune cells arise from.....
stem cells
name the 2 types of immune cells
myeloid

lymphoid
list the derivatives of myeloid cells
erythrocytes
platelets
macrophages
neutrophils
eosinophils
list the derivatives of lymphoid cells
T cells ( CD8, CD4)

derivative of CD8?
derivative of CD4?
CD8-CTL

CD4-TH1, TH2
function of TH1? function of TH2?
TH1- helps cytotoxic T cells

TH2-helps B cells
