show IgD  
🗑
show IgE  
🗑
show IgE  
🗑
show IgG  
🗑
Found in breast milk   show
🗑
show IgA  
🗑
show IgM  
🗑
Only Ig when class switching cannot occur   show
🗑
show IgM  
🗑
show C1  
🗑
show C5-C9  
🗑
show increased susceptibility to type 3 hypersensitivity reactions  
🗑
Cell surface proteins: T cells (general)   show
🗑
show CD4, CD40L  
🗑
show CD8  
🗑
Cell surface proteins: B cells   show
🗑
show MHC II, CD 14, CD16, CD40, Fc and C3b receptors  
🗑
show MHC I, CD16 (binds Fc of IgG), CD56 (unique marker for NK)  
🗑
show MHC I  
🗑
Cell surface proteins: WBC, RBC, and platelets (protect against complement-mediated damage)   show
🗑
show Tetanus toxin, Botulinum toxin, HBV, or Rabies virus (To Be Healed Rapidly)  
🗑
show RSV  
🗑
Type I MHC is on what cells   show
🗑
Type II MHC is on what cells   show
🗑
Name the antigen presenting cells   show
🗑
show Type I  
🗑
show Type II (Antigen presenting cells)  
🗑
show Nonspecific, Rapid, Physical barriers, Phagocytosis, Complement, Interferons, Induces inflammation  
🗑
show Specific; Slow, then rapid; Inducible; Memory; Antibodies; B and T cells  
🗑
Alpha & Beta interferons are produced by?   show
🗑
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  
🗑
show 1) alpha & beta interferons inhibit viral protein synth, 2) gamma-interferons incr. MHC I and II expression & antigen presentation in all cells, 3) Activate NK cells to kill virus-infected cells  
🗑
show Formed in bone marrow, Multilobar nuclei, granules, Early defense against bacteria  
🗑
Cells increased in pyogenic infections   show
🗑
Macrophages develop in ___ as ___   show
🗑
show Release of pharmacologically active substances contained within granules - Allergies  
🗑
show Major role against parasites - Secretion of eosinophilic granules results in damage to parasite membrane. Also involved in asthma & allergy  
🗑
NK cells target?   show
🗑
show Inhibitory - recognizes MHC alpha chains; Stimulatory - recognizes cell signals  
🗑
show Classical: Aquired, Alternative: Innate, Lectin: Innate  
🗑
show System of proteins that interact to play a role in humoral immunity & inflammation  
🗑
show 1. Lysis of cells, bacteria, viruses, 2. Opsonization to promote phagocytosis of Ag, 3. Activation of inflammatory response , 4. Clearance of immune complexes  
🗑
Describe the classical pathway complement cascade.   show
🗑
