| Characteristics of acquired immunity | Specific; Slow, then rapid; Inducible; Memory; Antibodies; B and T cells |
| Alpha & Beta interferons are produced by? | Alpha: leukocytes, Beta: fibroblasts |
| How do interferons inhibit viral replication | Place uninfected cells in "antiviral state": Alpha & beta induce a 2nd protein which degrades viral (but not host) mRNA thereby inhibiting viral protein synthesis |
| Steps to "interfere" with viruses | 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 |
| Describe neutrophils | Formed in bone marrow, Multilobar nuclei, granules, Early defense against bacteria |
| Cells increased in pyogenic infections | Neutrophils |
| Macrophages develop in ___ as ___ | bone marrow, monocytes |
| Role of Basophils | Release of pharmacologically active substances contained within granules - Allergies |
| Role of Eosinophils | Major role against parasites - Secretion of eosinophilic granules results in damage to parasite membrane. Also involved in asthma & allergy |
| NK cells target? | cells with decreased MHC class I expression |
| 2 types of NK cell receptors | Inhibitory - recognizes MHC alpha chains; Stimulatory - recognizes cell signals |

| Define complement | System of proteins that interact to play a role in humoral immunity & inflammation |
| Functions of the complement cascade | 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. | 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.
