Term
Mononuclear phagocytes
Definition
Innate (non-specific) immune response
Term
Monocytes, macrophages, mast cells, granulocytes, dendritic cells
Definition
Mononuclear phagocytes
Term
T helper cells and cytotoxic T cells
Definition
Adaptive (specific) immune response
Term
acts on major APCs to T cells
Definition
monocytes, macrophages
Term
release inflammatory mediators
Definition
mast cells
Term
neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
Definition
granulocytes
Term
phagocytosis
Definition
neutrophils
Term
exocytosis of granules (cell lysis, apoptosis via IgE activation)
Definition
eosinophils
Term
inflammatory mediators
Definition
basophils
Term
express many receptors when activated that aid in rapid antigen recognition, become APCs to T cells as well
Definition
dendritic cells
Term
present engulfed antigen segnments/major histocompatibility complexes on their surfaces
Definition
antigen presenting cells
Term
Receptors on APC that signal to CD28 receptor on TCR
Definition
CD80 and CD86
Term
Recruit new macrophages, neutorphils, lymphocytes, etc
Definition
T Helper Cells
Term
Release cellular components that cause lysis, apoptosis
Definition
Cytotoxic T cells
Term
surviving plasma cells become
Definition
memory B cells
Term
block cytokine activation by binding to corticosteroid response elements which inhibit synthesis of other immune response factors
Definition
Steroids
Term
Inhibit T cell proliferation ---> inhibiting production of IL2
Definition
Calcineurin inhibitors
Term
requires bile for intestinal absorption
Definition

Definition
Cyclosporine, Tacrolimus
Term
mTOR inhibitors
Definition
Sirolimus, Everolimus
Term
approved and recommended for renal transplant
Definition
everolimus
Term
bind to FKBP12 forming a complex ---> blocks IL2 signal for cell growth
Definition
mTOR inhibitors
Term
antiproliferatives
Definition

Term
prodrug for 6-mercatopurine, disrupts both salvage and de novo syntehssi pathyways of DNA, RNA, and protein
Definition
azathioprine
Term
inhibits de novo guanine syntehsis by binding inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase
Definition
mycophenolate
Term
anti-thymocyte immune globulins
Definition
ATGAM, Thymoglobulin
Term
bind to various lymphocyte receptors resulting in lymphocyte depletion
Definition
anti-thymocyte immune globulin
