    short
  2. 4 Major parameters/cells types of the innate immune:
    • inflammation
    • phagocytic cells
    • NK cells
    • Soluble defense factors
  3. Functions of TLR
    • Microbial recognition, engulfing & Killing
    • Mediate innate (inflammation)
    • Mediate Acquired (Humoral and CMI)
  4. Antigenicity-
    Abitility of Ag to bind to immune components
  5. Immunogenicity-
    The ability of an Ag to illicit an immune response
  6. Epitope-
    immunogenic part that binds to Ab or TLR
  7. APC's (3):

    • Macrophages
    • B-Cells
  8. Professional APC=
    Dendritic Cells
  9. Semi-Pro APC=

    Secondary Lymph Tissue
  12. Endogenous Ag presents via...
    MHC I
  13. Exogenous Ag presents via...
    MHC II
  14. Exogenous APCs can also present endogenous Ag if via MHC I...
    Intracellularly infected
  15. MHC I: _____ Ag Processing to _____
    • Endogenous
    • Cytotoxic T
  16. MHC II: ____ Ag processing to _____
    • Exogenous

  18. CD-8+
    Helper
  19. MHC II is expressed only by...
    Phagocytic APCs
  20. MHC I is expressed by...
    All Nucleated Cells
  21. MHC I is active when...
    infected
  22. Specificity/Diversity of BCR's and TCRs is made possible by...
    Somatic Gene Rearrangement
  23. B & T cells mature within the ___ Lymph Tissue
    Primary
  24. Upon leaving the thymus, T-Cells are mature, but...
    Naieve until presented by MHC-Ag complex
  25. Effector B-Lymphocytes:
    Plasma Cells
  26. Effector T-Lymphocytes:
    • Th that aids other T & B cells

  27. Tc Ag processing and differentiation occurs in the ____ Lymph Tiss
    Secondary
  28. The Tc receptor is located...
    membrane bound
  29. Ways in which a is T-cell activated:
    • Direct (TcR + MHC + Ag)
    • Costimulation (TcR + MHC + Ag + costim molecules)
  30. Tc is activated by..
    MHC II Ag presentation
  31. Th1 cytokines:
    • IL-2
    • IN-y
    • TNF
  32. IL-2->
    Activation of TCells, BCells & NK
  33. IN-y ->
