This results when chemical substance called ___ trigger the hypothalamus to increase the bodys core temp (fever) Pyrogen
What cytokine singles among leukocytes? Interleukins (ILs)
What cytokine is an antiviral and anticancer protein that may act as cytokines? Interferons (IFNs)
What cytokine are proteins that stimulate stem cells to divide, maintaining an adequate supply of leukocytes? Growth factors
What cytokine secreted by macrophages and Tcells to kill tumor calls and regulate immune responses and inflammation? Tumor necrosis factors (TNFs)
What cytokine signal leukocytes to go to a site of inflammation or infection and stimulate other leukocytes? Chemokines
Antigens are recognized by specific or nonspecific? SPECIFIC
Antigens interact with? Antibodies, Bcells & Tcells receptors
What lymphocyte arises and matures in red bone marrow, found in spleen/lymph nodes/MALT? B lymphocytes
What are the major functions of Blymphocytes? Antibody productions, immunologic memoryy, regulation of the immune response
AKA as immunoglobulins (Ig). They are soluble, proteiancceous molecules that bind antigen? Antibodies
Antibodies are responsible for what 7 things? 1-Neutralization 2-Opsonization 3-Oxidation 4-Aggultination 5-Antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity 5-Stimulation of inflammation 6-Activation of complement
How does Opsonization function? Talks to 2nd line of defense
How does oxidation function? Antibodies_bacterial cells=reactive oxygen species
How does Agglutination work? Taking mobility away
HOw does antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity work? Natural killer lymphocytes up regulated
How does stimulation of inflammation work? Leads to attraction of phagocytic cells which leads to elimination of pathogens
What are the 5 classes of Immunoglobulins? 1-IgG 2-IgA 3-IgM 4-IgE 5-IgD
Where is IgG & IgE located? Serum, mast cell surfaces
Where is IgA located? (Monomer)Serum, (Dimer)tears, milk, saliva-mucus membrane secretions
