Term
STATE 3 DIF BTWN INFLAMMATION AND IMMUNITY
Definition
1. INFLAMMATION
A NONSPECIFIC BODY DEFENSE RESPONSE TO ANY TISSUE INJURY, WHICH MAY BE CAUSED, BY CHEM, PHSYICAL AGENT, OR TRAUMA, ECT.
IT INVOLVES NEUTROPHILS AND MACROPHAGES AS PART OF CELLULAR RESPONSE AND CHEM MEDIATORS LIKE HISTAMINE AND PROSTOGLANDINS W/ VARIOUS BIOLOGIC EFFECTS.
2. IMMUNITY
IS A SPECIFIC HOST DEFENSE RESPONSE TO "FOREIGN" (NONSELF) ANTIGENS.
IT INVOLVES SPECIFIC (T AND B LYMPHOCYTES) AND HUMORAL (ANTIBODIES) COMPONENTS AND MEDIATORS (e.g. COMPLEMENT)
IT VARIES DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE ANTIGENIC STIMULUS (IMMEDIATE AND DELAYED HYPERTENSIVITIES),
(PG 46; CH 1-2)
Term
WHAT IS A CELL SURFACE ANTIGEN?
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Definition
CELL SURFACE ANTIGEN-UNIQUE PROTEIN OR GLYCOPROTEIN CONGFIGURATION THAT IS A DISTINCTIVE MARKER FOR THE RECOGNITION OF A CELL BY THE IMMUNSE SYS.
THEY PROVIDE THE MEANS BY WHICH THE IMMUNSE SYS DISTINGUISHES SELF FROM NONSELF.

IMPORTANT BC:
PROVIDES FOR THE DETECTION AND ID OF "NONSELF" BY THE IMMUNSE SYS.
THIS DIFFERENTIATION UNDERLIES THE HOST DEFENSE AGIANST INFECTION AND OTHER FORIEGN ANTIGENS, AND IT FORMS THE BASIS FOR SELECTION OF COMPATIBLE ORGANS AND TISSURE FOR TRANSPLANTATION.
(PG 46-47)
Term
WHAT ARE HUMAN LEUKOCYTES ANTIGENS (HLA'S)?
WHAT IS THE MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX (MHC)?
Definition
THE MHC CELL MEMBRANE ANTIGENS ON HUMAN LEUKOCYTES THAT DETERMINE "SELF" AND SERVE AS THE BASIS FOR IDING HISTOCOMPATIBLE CELLS AND TISSUES FOR TRANSPLANTATION, INCLUDING BLOOD TRANSFUSION. THESE ANTIGENS REPRESENTING "SELF" ARE PRESENT ON AND INDIVIDUALS CELL MEMBRANES
