Term
where is INFb made, what does it do

made in fibroblasts, induces MHC1 antigen processing, used in MS for immune supression
Term
where is INFgamme made, what is it used for
Definition
made by helper T cells, never nucleated cells
used to fight protozoa
Term
how does INF work
Definition
recognizes nucleic acids of viruses and binds via TLR binds receptors on microbe and has antiviral affect interfering with replication machines
Term
what does TNF do
Definition
activate vascular endothelium letting out IgG and compliments, increase fluid drainage to the lymph nodes
Term
what does IL-6 do
Definition
activate lymphocytes and antibodies, induce protein production in the liver, cause fever
Term
what does IL-12 do
Definition
activate NK cells, induce differentation of CD4 into helper T cells
Term
what does IL-17 do
Definition
deploy neutrophils, macrophages, cytokines. induce NO synthesis, induce cyclooxygenase of chondrocytes, role in autoimmune inflammation
Term
where are compliments made
Definition
liver
Term
what is happening in hereditary angieoedema (HAE)
Definition
C1 INH is inhibited so the common compliment pathway is not regulated leading to anaphalyxins, swelling, kalkerins, plasmins
Term
what is happening in PIG-A (paraoxysmal nocturnal hemoglobineurea)
Definition
RBC, platlets, and granulocyte membranes are sensitive to compliments and they lysis. inhibitors CD55 DAF and CD59 HRF are broken.
pancytopenia, hemolytic anemia, thrombosis, hematuria, brusine
Term
after prolonged exposure what does C3 lead to
Definition
pyogenic infections once opsonization is reduced
Term
after prolonged exposure what does C4 lead to
Definition
autoimmune systemic lupus erythematosis and pyrogenic infections
Term
what does unregulated factor H and I cause
Definition
glomeruloephritis and hemolytic anemia
Term
what are dendritic cells derived from
Definition
macrophages
Term
what causes and what is angioedema
Definition
swelling in neck vessels caused by C4a and C2a
Term
what blocks the MAC attack
Definition
HRF (PNH) CD59
Term
what is needed to make C3bBb
Definition
factor B and enzyme factor D and bacterial influence (carbs on materia, LPS, techtoic acid, virus, IgA aggregates, clttiing proteins)
Term
what does C3bBb need to split C3 into a and b
Definition
properdin
Term
what blocks C3bBb
Definition
DAF (CD55)
Term
what blocks the splitting of C2 and C4 by C1qrs in the classical pathway
Definition
C1 INH
Term
what is needed to make C4b2a in the mannose lectin pathway
Definition
MASP1 and MASP2 and C2 and C4 and mannose binding lectin attached to a carb on a microbe
Term
how do NK cells kill
Definition
perforins put holes in the membrane, granzymes enter and activate capsase pathway. NK releases INFgamma to recruit Th1 cells
Term
FcyRIII
Definition
region on NK cell that antibodies on normal cells combine with
Term
FAS ligand / TNF receptor
Definition
receptor on microbes that activate capsase pathway when NK cells attach
Term
NKG2D
Definition
NK cell receptor that recognizes ligands on infected cells and when activated turns on the NK cell granual release process
Term
what does esoinophilic catatonic protein do
Definition
peroxidase that is perforin like and a neurotoxin
Term
chronic granulomatous disease
Definition
NADPH oxidase defect, X linked or recessive
Term
chediak higashi disease
Definition
microtubule defect, lysosome cant fuse to microbe. albania, ataxia
Term
selectin
Definition
cell adhesion molecule
Term
integrin
Definition
cell membrane component that does cell-cell adhesion, ECM adhesion, cell signaling, regulation of cell cycle, shape and motility
Term
chemotaxin
Definition
compliment component that induces chemotaxis: iL-8, C5a, C3a, C4a
Term
what immune components are associated with the keratinocytes
Definition
langerhan's cells, lymphocytes of dermis, skin defense barrier

what is another name for the Fc region
Definition
carboxyl terminus
Term
what are the functions of antibodies
Definition
neutrilization, opsonization, percipitation, innate compliment cascade, ADCC (mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, NK cells macrophages), block receptors
Term
how does IgM do its job
Definition
enhanses phagocytosis with opsonin activity making aggregates of cross linked antigen and making a molecule bigger and more easily recognized by B macrophages and neutrophils
Term
what are the functions of IgG
