FcYRI
Term
What enzyme do M1 inflammatory macrophages produce? What does it do?
Definition
iNOS2

Uses NADPH & O2 to convert L-Arg to NO & citrulline
Term
What interleukins are secreted by M1 macrophages?
Definition
IL-12 & IL-23
Term
What anti-inflammatory molecules are produced by M2 macrophages?
Definition
IL-10 & TGF-B
Term
How do M2 macrophages avoid production of NO?

Term
Which signals would result in differentiation of M2 macrophages rather than M1? (5)
Definition
IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, TGFB
glucocorticoids
Term
How do mycobacterium bovis & Brucella suis promote their own survival within the host?

Definition
Th1
Th2
Th17
Regulatory T cells
Term
M1 macrophages secrete _____ which activates NK cells to secrete ____
Definition
TNF-alpha & IL-12

IFN-Y
Term
______ from NK cells activates macrophages to a higher level & induces _____ transcription
Definition
IFN-Y

iNOS2
Term
How are particles removed from the skin of mammals?
Definition
Langerhans cells phagocytize the particles then travel to the draining lymph nodes where they interact with T cells & act as APCs
Term
How are particles removed from the skin of fish/birds?
Definition
Langerhans cells drain into lymph nodules or enter circulation & interact with T cells in secondary lymphoid tissues
Term
How are ingested particles removed from the digestive tract by macrophages?
Definition
M cells sample particles from intestine
-pass particle to macrophages
-travel to Peyers patches or mesenteric lymph nodes

Particles from the lungs <5um are phagocytized by....
Definition
alveolar macrophages
Term
Which species remove pathogens from circulation via the capillary endothelium of the lung?
Definition
pigs
ruminants
horses
Term
How do humans, rabbits & mice remove pathogens from circulation? What are the steps involved?
Definition
Kupffer cells & splenic macrophages

1. Kupffer cells trap pathogen, attract neutrophils to phagocytise it

2.Kupffer cells phagocytize the dying neutrophils
Term
Which opsonins/receptors do Kupffer cells rely on?
Definition
C3 opsonization via CR1
Term
Which opsonins/receptors do splenic macrophages rely on?
Definition
FcYRI
Term

Term
Which macrophage secretion promotes fibroblast division & deposition of fibronectin?
Definition
TGF-beta
Term
What happens when granulomas consolidate into multinucleated giant cells?
Definition
M2 macrophages secrete TGF-B and IL-1B continuously, leading to persistent fibrosis & angiogenesis and reduced organ function
