Only adaptive Immune responses are enhanced during reinfection
Macrophages produce RNS
Lymph Nodes
First site where a blood bourne pathogen is detected
Bone marrow is not supplied by blood and lymph
M-CSF promotes the growth and differentiation of Macrophages
G-CSF promotes the growth and differentiation of Neutrophils
Eosinophils are derived from CMP progenitors
Alpha-Defensin
Antimicrobial Peptide
Antimicrobial peptides do not bind to positively charged proteins in the cytoplasm and interfere with protein trafficking in the cell
Fungi
Zymosan is found on which class of microbe?
Heat shock protein is an example of a DAMP
Viruses
Single Stranded RNA
TLR9 recognizes dsDNA
TLR7 recognizes ssRNA commonly found in viruses
C9
The MAC consists of a multimeric complex of which of the following proteins that, by their association, forms a pore in the surface of the attacked cell?
IL-8
Promotes chemotaxis of neutrophils into injured/infected tissues
IFN alpha activates NK cells
Acute phase Proteins are produced by the Liver
MHC I is expressed on surface of a T cell
MHC class II has two transmembrane regions
Treg
A defect in which of the following helper T cell types can lead to inflammatory bowel disease?
CTLs induce apoptosis in infected target cells much the same way that NK cells do
The TCR and CD8 co-receptor on a CTL binds MHC class I containing endogenous peptides, and is expressed on all nucleated cells.
Intracellular Pathogens
If you are deficient in cytotoxic T cells, what group of pathogens would you be susceptible to?
Swollen organelles: characteristic of necrotic death
10% of lymphocytes do not go to the lymph nodes or spleen
Which molecules direct lymphocytes to the appropriate peripheral tissues?
Chemokines, Selectins, and Integrins
Repeated viral infection suggests a deficiency in what type of immunity?
