    microglia
  • what is the name of epidermis macrophages
    langerhans cells
  • what is the name of bone macrophages
    osteoclasts
  • how are adult macrophages formed from embryonic macrophages
    move from circulation into tissue
  • what does PRRs stand for
    pathogen recognition receptors
  • what chemokines regulate monocytes?
    monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1)
  • what is the function of M1 macrophages
    pro inflammatory
  • what is the function of M2 macrophages
    anti inflammatory
  • what regonises pathogens on cell surface
    TLRs
  • what are the pro inflammatory cytokines
    TNF-alpha
    IL-6
    IL-1 beta
  • what is an acute phase response
    change in proteins secreted in blood in response to activation by cytokines
  • where are mast cells found
    airways, gut, skin
  • what do mast cells contain
    histamine
  • when are mast cell granules released
    PAMP/DAMP engangment with PRRs
    C3a and C5a
    binding of IgE with Fc epsilon R1
  • what are the signs of inflammation
    redness
    heat
    pain
    tissue swelling
  • what is acute inflammation
    initial response moving plasma and leukocytes
  • what is chronic inflammation
    unnecessary inflammation and tissue destruction
  • what is extravasation
    migration of leukocytes out of blood into tissue
  • what are the steps of the neutrophil response
    P and E selectins expressed
    surface carbs weakly bind
    neutrophils travel along cell membrane
    neutrophils change shape
    ICAMs bind to strengthen binding
    neutrophils move from blood to tissue by diapedesis
  • how do phagolysosomes kill microbes
    oxygen dependent mechanisms
  • what mutation causes chronic granulomatous disease
    gene endcoding for NADPH oxidase
    so no formation of superoxide

    DR4 and DR5
  • when do NKs no longer constrain viral infections
    IFN gamma
    activated by CD8+
  • what do B1 cells produce
    IgM
