-Vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, movement of WBCs,
-Activation of plasma proteins
Destroy organisms and activation of immune mechanisms
Fragment C1-C9
, Complement activation (C3 à C3b)
Allows for WBC destructions (opsonin)
Acute
Give this one a try later!
New, usually of rapid onset and of concern, opposite of chronic
What is cell-mediated immunity? What cell plays an important role?
Give this one a try later!
Normal MHC cells can be transformed --> antigen is presented by APC -->
helper T Cells --> product cytokines (IL-1 and IL-2) --> B cells response
-T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity
Mycosis:
Give this one a try later!
infection with a fungus
IgG antibodies
Give this one a try later!
, majority of circulating antibodies , 2 binding sites
Cell-mediated immunity (CMI)
Give this one a try later!
-Lymphocytes are programmed to attack non-self cells to protect the body
-T-cells kill targets directly or stimulate the activity of other leukocytes.
How do phagocytes (name some) recognize foreign cells/microorganisms?
Give this one a try later!
Targeted by antibody or C3b
Neutrophils
