Present ______ to T cells

Accepted Answer

- yes, already out in tissue - homeostasis, wound healing - mononuclear - months (in certain tissues) - phagocytsosis, killing of bacteria - Fc and complement - pro-inflammatory cytokines (can regulate inflammation) - processed antigens (B cells make antibodies, macrophages bind to these)

Have _____ on surface (bind _____) Nuclei are _____, Have cytoplasmic granules that stain with _____. What do granules contain? Life span? What's the most important thing they do? Eosinophils are also ______. They make ______ and chemokines

Accepted Answer

- low - spleen, tissues - parasites, FC receptors, antibodies - bi-lobed, eosin dye -- phosphatase, peroxidase, toxic proteins - 12 days - anti-parasitic activity - pro-inflammatory, cytokines (proteins that immune cells use to communicate with)

Question 7

(Basophils) - Also a PMN, present in _____ numbers - nucleus? have cytoplasmic granules that stain with ______ (_____) - what do granules contain? Distributed in tissues? - Play a role in killing _____ due to presence of _____

Accepted Answer

- low - multi-lobes, basophilic dyes (hematoxylin) - inflammatory molecules (including vasoactive amines (histamine, serotonin) - no - parasites, FceRI

Question 8

(Mast cells) - nucleus? - The only cell type of that has ___ receptor that can bind ___ antibody (other types won't bind antibodies until they are bound by antigen) - lifespan - where? - Play a role in killing parasites due to presence of ____ - Cytoplasmic granules contain ______ molecules, including ____ amines (_____)

Accepted Answer

- multi-lobed - Fc, free - weeks (following distribution into tissue) - tissues, connective tissue, body surfaces - FceRI - inflammatory, vasoactive, histamine

Question 9

(Dendritic cells (NOT DENDRITES)) - Found in ___ numbers in tissues where? - Migrate to draining ______ folliowing pathogen uptake (macrophages don't do this) - How important are they in antigen presenting? - Provide a link between ____ an ____ immunity

Accepted Answer

- low - skin epithelia, intestinal, respiratory, reproductive mucosae - lymph nodes (take pathogens to be dealt with by T and B cells in lymph nodes) - they are the most important antigen presenting cell - adaptive, immunity

Question 10

Natural Killer (NK) cells (kill-self cells)

______ lineage
Possess ____ antigen receptor than B or T cells
do they require thymus for maturation?
Account for ___% of blood lymphocytes? where are most?

What do they kill? What allows them to do this?

What do they secrete? What does this do?

Accepted Answer

- lymphocytic - different - no - 15%, in secondary lymph nodes - tumor cells, virally-infected cells -- they have an Fc receptor - interferons - release cytokines that get other cells to be anti-viral

Question 11

Adaptive Immune Response - Adaptive Immunity is ____ to a given molecule (_____) - Adaptive immune response mediated by _____ - Have surface receptors for ______ on pathogens or particles - Provide specific immunity to ______ - Provide _____ of specific antigens - What are the two types of lymphocytes? - B cells produce _____ (_______). What do antibodies bind? Antibodies interact with components of the ______ system. - T cells ________ processed ____ on host cells (________). _______ cells activate or regulate activities of other cells. _________ cells kill host cells bearing a foreign antigen

Accepted Answer

- specific, epitope - lymphocytes - antigens - antigens - memory - B cells and T cells - antibodies (Humoral immunity) -- innate immunity - recognize, antigen, (Cell-Mediated Immunity). Helper T, Cytotoxic T

Question 12

(Lymphocytes) - Arise from lymphoid progenitor in _____ or _____. - Leave bone marrow only ______ - B cells differentiate in ______ and ______ - T cells differentiate in the _____ - Small round cells that _____ be differentiated visually - Use _______ to distinguish lymphocyte classes - Mediate _______ (_____) immunity - Found in _____ and _____ organs

Accepted Answer

- bone marrow, bursa - partially mature - bursa, bone marrow - thymus - cannot - surface markers - adaptive, (antigen specific) - blood, lymphoid (primarily here)

Question 13

(Clonal Selection) - A single progenitor cell gives rise to a large number of ______, each with a different _____. Potentially self-reactive immature lymphoctyes are _____. Let's say you have 7 different b-cells in a lymph node, each with a slightly different antibody binding pocket (each bind different antigens) - when it encounters its specific antigen - first thing it does is start to _____. It will keep doing this until many are created. Some of these will become _____.

Accepted Answer

- lymphocytes, specificity, deleted - proliferate, memory cells

Question 14

- Receptors are encoded in the _____ of the organism - but in B and T cells - the genome rearranges _______ at the site where the receptors are _____. This generates cells of the same type, but with different _____. - B and T cells are _______ specific and undergo _____ selection. This ensures that only cells with recetors against a ______ are activated. B cells start to ________ but require help from antigen-specific _____. T cells become activated to become ______ or _______. Where does all of this happen? What are sites where lymphocytes develop and/or contact and respond to specific antigens? They are essentially points of _____, _____ and ______ collection, and _______ responses - These are tissues where ______ interact with ______ cells (stroma). - Where does differentiation occur? - Where does activation occur? - Can tissues be both primary and secondary?

Accepted Answer

- genome, randomly, encoded, receptors - antigen, clonal, foreign antigen, secrete antibodies, T cells, cytotoxic T cells, helper T cells - Lymphoid tissues - lymphoid organs, differentiation, antigen, immune cell, adaptive immune - lymphocytes, non-lymphoid - primary organ (where they become B or T) - secondary organ (where they go to work) - yes

Question 15

(lymphoid tissues) - Primary lymphoid organs are sites of ____ and _____ for lymphocytes (antigen-specifc cells); provide a network of ______ and ____ with which precursors interact to signal development. What are the three examples of primary lymphoid organs (plus say which cell type is at each)?
