Question
Answer
Functions of lymph node   filtration by macrophages, storage and activation of B/T cells, antibody production  
🗑
Follicle/cortex of lymph node holds. Difference between primary and secondary follicle   B cells. Secondary follicle (germinal ctr) is pale and is a site of active proliferation  
🗑
Medulla of lymph node consistes of cords and sinuses. What are they composed of? Where do sinuses drain to?   Cords: lymphocytes, plasma cells, Sinuses= macrophages, reticular cells and communicate with efferent lymphatic  
🗑
Paracortex/deep cortex   Houses T cells; has endothelial venules from which T and B cvells enter. Becaomes enlarged in immmune resposne (viral)  
🗑
3 functions of the spleen   capture organisms and Ag trapping, site for extramedullary hematopoiesis, reservoir for 1/3 of platelets  
🗑
Which part of spleen has "barrel hood" basement membrane? Where are macrophages found?   Near basement membrane. Red pulp  
🗑
Where are T cells and B cells found in the spleen?   T cells = periarterial lymphatic sheath, red pulp, B = follicles in white pulp  
🗑
Describe what happens in splenic dysfunction?   Decreased IgM (due to abnormal follicles--> decreased complement activation --> decreased c3b opsonization, increased susceptiblity to encapsulated organisms.  
🗑
What organisms is a patient susceptible during splenic dysfunction?   Encapsulated: S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, Salmonella  
🗑
Postsplectomy results in   Howell Jolly bodies, target cells, thrombocytosis  
🗑
T cells in the thymus are originally from ___. They travel to the thymus and are in immature in the ___.   T cells are mesenchymal in origin (bone marrow), Immature = cortex  
🗑
Mature T cells are found in the ___ of the thymus, which also contains ____ and ____/   medulla and contains Hassall's corpuscles, reticular epithelial cells  
🗑
What happens in positive selection? Negative selection   Positive = Recognize MHC or MHC II. Negative APC cells present Ag; those that don't interact undergo apoptosis.  
🗑
In cortex, before positive selection, T cells have ___ receptors   CD4 and CD8 receptors  
🗑
To make a Th1 cell ____ is released. To make Th2, ____ is released   Th1= IL12, Th2 = IL4  
🗑
TH1 cells secrete ___ and are inhibited by ____.   IL-2, IFN-gamma; inhibited by IL-10  
🗑
Th2 cells secrete ____ and are inhibited by ___.   IL 4,5, 10; inhibited by IFN gamma  
🗑
Th2 cells help B cells to secrete antibody ___   IgE> IgG  
🗑
only lymphocyte member of the immune system   Natural killer cells  
🗑
Natural killer cells are enhanced by   IL-12, IFN-beta, IFN-a  
🗑
MHC I are mostly for cells infected with a ___   virus  
🗑
APCS include ___ and have MHC II receptors   APC = macrophage, dendritic, B cells (MHC II)  
🗑
in a macrophage-lymphocyte (which one?) interaction, lymphocytes release ___ while macrophages release ___. They stimulate each other   Th1. TH1 release IFN-gamma, macrophages (IL-1, TNF-alpha)  
🗑
Th2 are infamous for helping cells. Which ones do they help? What signals do they send for each   CTL (IL-2, IFN-gamma), B (IL4, IL5)  
🗑
MHCI includes HLA- (), MHC II ()_   MHC I (A,B,C), MHC II (DR, DQ, DP)  
🗑
Ag is loaded on MHC I in ___ and ___ in MHC II   MHC I = RER (intracellular peptides), MHC II = Acidified endosome  
🗑
B2 is part of MHC__ complex   I  
🗑
Type I hypersensitivity is mediated by __ cells   B cells (IgE)  
🗑
Type II (cytotoxicy) is mediated by ___   B cells (IgG)  
🗑
Type III (Immune complex) is mediated by ___   b cells (IgG)  
🗑
Hyper acute rejection = ___ cells,   Hyperacute = B cells  
🗑
Superantigen mechanism   bind to outside of Beta and MHC II complex. Results in release of IFN-gamma from Th1 cells and IL-1, Il-6, TNF alpha from macrophages  
🗑
Endotoxin directly stimulates ___ and binds to ___   stimulates macrophages and binds to CD14.  
🗑
Signal 1 (Th), signal 2   MHC II + CD4/TCR; B7 + CD28 (costiumulatory  
🗑
Signal 1 (TC), Signal 2 (Tc)   MHC I + CD8/TCR; IL-2 stimulates Tc to kill virus  
🗑
Signal 1 (B), Signal 2 (B)   Th2 cell secretes IL 4,5,6, CD40+CD40 L from Th2  
🗑
Fc portion of Ig_ and Ig_ fixes complement   G,M  
🗑
__ determines idiotype, __ determines Isotypes. __ is made from heavy chain   Fab = idiotype, Fc = isotype, Fc =heavy chain  
🗑
4 ways that antibody diversity is created   1. Random recombination of VJ (light) and VDJ(heavy) chains, 2. random combination of heavy chains with light chains, 3. somatic hypermutation (following ag stimulation-point mutation--> enhances affinity),4. addition of nucleotides during recomibination  
🗑
terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase is resopnsible for ____.   addition of nucleotides to DNA during recombination and increasing antibody diversity  
🗑
Name Ig: opsonization   G  
🗑
Name Ig: travels across placenta   IgA,IgG  
🗑
Name Ig: initiate complement   IgG, IgM  
🗑
Name Ig: initiate neutralization   IgA, IgM, IgG  
🗑
