major component of adaptive immunity against Giardia
secretory IgA - eosinophils have nothing to do with protozoan infection (only helminth)
stimulates naive T cells to become Th1 cells which secrete IFN-gamma
IL-12
decreased Th1 cells with decreased IFN-gamma leads to infection by what organism
mycobacteria (TB)
what does live attenuated oral vaccine promote more than killed vaccine
prolonged synthesis and secretion of local mucosal IgA

results in increased CD4/CD8 ratio greater than 2:1
sarcoidosis
unable to reduce nitroblue tetrazolium because cannot produce ROS due to genetic defect in NADPH oxidase

generates superoxide by transfering electrons from NADPH
involved within neutrophils
NADPH oxidase
-deficient in chronic granulomatous disease
acute hemolytic tranfusion
type II hypersensitivity which is antibody-mediated that activate complement within blood vessels
results in dark urine
component of each MHC I

dendritic cells found in skin conatining Birbeck granules - racquet shaped intracytoplasmic granules
Langerhans cells
how do eosinophils destroy parasites
IgE antibody dependent cytotoxicity
IgE is bound to parasite
