show CD 19, 20, 21 (receptor for EBV); MHC II  
🗑
Cell surface proteins: macrophages   show
🗑
Cell surface proteins: NK cells   show
🗑
show MHC I  
🗑

🗑
4 exposures for which patients are given preformed antibodies (for passive immunity)   show
🗑
show RSV  
🗑
show All nucleated cells (this excludes adult RBCs)  
🗑
show Antigen presenting cells  
🗑
show Macrophages, Dendritic cells, B cells  
🗑
show Type I  
🗑
MHC specific for extracellular pathogens   show
🗑
Characteristics of innate immunity   show
🗑
show Specific; Slow, then rapid; Inducible; Memory; Antibodies; B and T cells  
🗑
show Alpha: leukocytes, Beta: fibroblasts  
🗑
show Place uninfected cells in "antiviral state": Alpha & beta induce a 2nd protein which degrades viral (but not host) mRNA thereby inhibiting viral protein synthesis  
🗑

🗑
Functions of the complement cascade   show
🗑
show 1. C1 cleaves C4 into C4a and C4b, 2. C1 cleaves C2 into C2a and C2b, 3. C4b binds to pathogen surface , 4. C4b binds C2a, 5. C4bC2a cleaves C3 into C3a and C3b, 6. C3b binds to pathogen surface, 7. C3b cleaves C5 into C5a and C5b, 8. C5b activates MAC
