|
Definition
|
|
Term
| what are the two interferons in the second line of defense? |
|
Definition
| alpha/beta interferon and gamma interferon (IFN-y) |
|
|
Term
| what interferon act locally, is released hours after infection, last 3-4 days, released by certain WBCs and virally infected cells and stimulate production of anti-viral components in neighboring cells? |
|
Definition
| alpha and beta interferon |
|
|
Term
| what interferon induce resistance to viral replication in all cells, increase MHC class expression and antigen presentation in all cells, and activate NK cells to kill virus infected cells? |
|
Definition
| alpha and beta interferon |
|
|
Term
| what is also known as the "neighborhood watch"? |
|
Definition
| alpha and beta interferon |
|
|
Term
| gamma interferon is produced by ______ T cells, ________, and________ |
|
Definition
| CD4, CD8 T cells, and NK cells |
|
|
Term
| what interferon activates macrophages (and neutrophils) (solicits their help!), has broader (systemic) effect than alpha and beta? |
|
Definition
| gamma interferon (or interferon gamma- IFN-y) |
|
|
Term
| what interferon can be thought of as "calling the police or FBI"? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| ____________ are often used as treatment for certain viral diseases like HCV and some cancers |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| what are the second line of defense 3 processes? |
|
Definition
| phagocytosis, inflammation, and fever |
|
|
Term
| what are the 4 steps of phagocytosis? |
|
Definition
1) chemotaxis of phagocyte
2) adherence
3) ingestion of microbe by phagocyte
4) digestion of microbe by enzymes
5) elimination (exocytosis) |
|
|
Term
| what are the 4 steps of inflammation? |
|
Definition
1) a cut penetrates the epidermis barrier and bacteria invade
2) damaged cells release prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and histamine including mast cells
3) prostaglandins and leukotrienes make vessels more permeable. histamine causes vasodilation, increasing blood flow to the site
4) macrophages and neutrophils squeeze through walls of blood vessels (diapedesis) |
|
|
Term
| step 5,6,7,8, and 9 of inflammation is what? |
|
Definition
5) increased permeability allows antimicrobial chemicals and clotting proteins to seep into damaged tissue but also results in swelling, pressure on nerve endings, and pain
6) blood clot forms
7) more phagocytes migrate to the site and devour bacteria
8) accumulation of damaged tissue and leukocytes form pus
9) undifferentiated stem cells repair the damaged tissue. blood clot is absorbed or falls off as a scab |
|
|
Term
| ______________ which have become engorged with bacteria usually die and largely make up the material of pus |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| what are the 4 causes of fever in the second line of defense? |
|
Definition
| IL-1,IL-2, lipid A (endotoxin), and teichoic acid fragments |
|
|
Term
| what are the 4 steps of fever? |
|
Definition
1) IL-1 secreted by phagocytes travel in blood to hypothalamus
2) hypothalamus secrete prostaglandin, which resets hypothalamic thermostat
3) nerve impulses cause shivering, higher metabolic rate, inhibition of sweating, and vasocontriction
4) these increase body temperature to the point set by the hypothalamic thermostat |
|
|
Term
| what line of defense is known as acquired immunity? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| what line of defense is antigen specific, establishes memory, and distinguishes "self from non-self" |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| what are the 2 divisions of the 3rd line of defense? |
|
Definition
| humoral and cell-mediated |
|
|
Term
| what division of the 3rd line of defense is comprised of B cells and the antibodies produced by them? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| what division of the 3rd line of defense is helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, and is critical in the defense against intracellular pathogens and other intracellular abnormalities like cancer? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| what 3rd line of defense division is critical in the defense against "bloodborne pathogens" and is extracellular pathogens? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| in acquired immune system B cells and T cells are involved based on communication with _______ |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| the 3rd line of defense include what 4 cells? |
|
Definition
| macrophages, dendritic cells, and sometimes T cells and B cells |
|
