FIVE major groups of immunoglobulins: immunoglobulins-igM, immunoglobulins-IgD, Immunoglobulin-IgG, immunoglobulin-IgA, immunoglobulin-IgE
Immunoglobulins-IgM first antibody to the scene, short lived, MACRO, remains in blood, initiates the compliment cascade
Immunoglobulins-IgD trace antibody, thought to activate B cells, initiation of immune response
immunoglobulins-IgG second to scene, remains the longest, most predominate, opsonization-coats antigen for destruction, prepares other antigens for destrusction for killer cells
immunoglobulin-IgA principle immunoglobulin in exernal excretions of mucosal surfaces, tears, saliva, bile, urine and respiratory excretions
immunoglobulin-IgE binds to mast cells and basophils, stimulates release of histamines and prostaglandins, plays role in immediage hypersensitivity reaction
Lymphocytes-T cells (thymus) functions to intensify the response of other immune cells
Types of lymphocytes-T cells memory, helper, suppressors, cytotoxic, delayed
Complement System: Facilitates phagocytes(opsonsization, recruit additonal macrophages, destroy pathogens)
Opsonsization recognize, coat, engulf, destroy
Inflammatory mediators: Cytokines, prostaglandins, matrix metalloproteinases
Cytokines-cell protein transmits information and signals for additonal phagocytes to site of infection
Function of cytokines: recruit cells to the site, increase vascular permeability, initiate tissue destruction, chemical messenger between WBC
Cytokine IL-1 recruits PMN, stimulates lymphocyte proliferation, increase vascular permeability, stimulates osteoclasts
Cytokine IL-6 activates lymphocytes-increase antibody production, stimulates bone resorption, inhibits bone formation, stimulates production of mast and B cells
