Question
Answer
epithel barriers block entry of microbes, phagocytic cells (neutrophils and macrophages), dendritic cells, NK cells, and plasma prots (complement sytem). act via inflamm and anti-viral defense (via dendritic and NK cells)   Innate Immunity  
🗑
Mediated by B lymphos and antibods (Igs) protects against extracellular microbes and their toxins   Humoral Immunity (adaptive) - IgM and IgD are on the surface and are the antigen binding component of B-cell receptor complex - IgAlpha and IgBeta transduct signals through the antigen receptor  
🗑
Mediated by T lymphos protects against intracellular microbes   Cellular Immunity (adaptive) - AlphaBeta TCR recognizes peptide antigens displayed by MHC on the surface of APCs - CD3 and Zeta prots transduct signals into T cell after TCR has bound antigen  
🗑
Most important APC for initiating primary T-cell response. located under epithelia (site of entry of microbes/foreign antigens) and in interstitia of all tissues (where antigens may be produced). express TLRs and Mannose receptors.   Dendritic cells - Immature = Langerhans cells - Follicular dendritic cells are located in the lymph follicles of the spleen and present antigens to B cells.  
🗑
phagocytose microbes, process antigens,m present peptide frags to T cells (APCs in T-cell activation). Also, activated/enhanced by T cells to kill ingested microbes. Also, destroy microbes that are opsonized by IgG or C3b   Macrophages  
🗑
endowed w the ability to kill a variety of infected and tumor cells, w/o prior exposure to or activation by them. express CD16 (lyse IgG coated cells) and CD56. Also, secrete IFN-Gamma, which activates macrophages to destroy ingested microbes.   NK cells - IL2 and IL15 stimulate proliferation - IL12 activates killing and secretion of IFN-Gamma  
🗑

🗑

Ex: MS, Type 1 Diabetes, RA, IBD (Crohn), TB   Cell-mediated (Type IV) - CD4+ = Delayed Type w Th1 -> macrophages and Th17 -> neutrophils (ex poison ivy rxn) - CD4s + IL-12-> Th1 - CD4s + IL-1,6,or 23 + TGF-Beta-> Th17 - CD8+ = Cytotoxicity w perforins and granzymes (ex Type 1 Diabetes)  
🗑
Gene most frequently implicated in autoimmunity. when dysfunctional -> lack of control of tyrosine kinases -> excess lymphocyte activation   PTPN-22

W limited can have CREST synd. Anti-Scl 70 and anticentromere antibody.   Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma) - 50-60 y/o black women - CREST = Calcinosis, Raynaud, Esophageal dysmotility, Sclerodactyly, Telangectasia - anti-Scl 70 (against DNA topo I)-> pulm fibrosis and periph vasc disease - anticentromere antibod-> CRE
