    Study Notes

    Neutrophils

    • Primary immune cells responsible for phagocytosis and destruction of pathogens.
    • Play a significant role in extracellular killing through the release of enzymes and reactive oxygen species.

    Immunity Types

    • Nonspecific immunity, also known as innate immunity, is effective from birth and provides broad defense against pathogens.
    • Adaptive immunity develops specifically after exposure to pathogens or foreign substances.

    Dendritic Cells

    • Act as antigen-presenting cells that process and present antigens to T cells, initiating immune responses.
    • Serve as a critical link between innate and adaptive immunity.

    Eosinophils

    • Primarily involved in combating multicellular parasites and allergic reactions.
    • Release cytotoxic granules to damage or destroy target cells.

    Immediate Defense

    • Innate immune response is the immediate defense mechanism activated upon infection in animals.

    Target Cell Recognition

    • Natural Killer (NK) cells recognize and destroy infected or cancerous cells in the body.

    Toll-like Receptors (TLRs)

    • Part of the innate immune system that detects pathogens by recognizing specific molecular patterns.
    • Play a vital role in activating immune responses.

    Monocytes

    • Serve as precursors to macrophages and dendritic cells, involved in phagocytosis and the secretion of inflammatory factors.

    Blood Cells

    • Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are responsible for the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body.

    Phagocytosis

    • The process by which white blood cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages, engulf and digest microbes.

    Antibodies

    • Protein molecules that identify and neutralize pathogens like bacteria and viruses.
    • Immunoglobulin IgG, a common antibody type, provides long-term immunity and can prevent viral infection by blocking virus entry into host cells.

    Active Immunization

    • Introduces antigens to stimulate an immune response and the development of memory cells for future protection against specific pathogens.

    Natural Killer Cells

    • A type of lymphocyte that plays a crucial role in the destruction of infected or anomalous cells without prior sensitization.

    Passive Immunization

    • Provides immediate immunity through the transfer of antibodies from one individual to another, usually from mother to child.

    Adaptive Immune Response

    • Characterized by specificity and memory, recognizing specific pathogens and mounting a stronger response upon subsequent exposure.

    B Cells

    • Produce antibodies in response to specific antigens and are vital for humoral immunity.

    Distinguishing T Cells from B Cells

    • T cells are primarily involved in cell-mediated immunity, recognizing infected or cancerous cells, while B cells focus on antibody production.

    Macrophages

    • Functions include phagocytosis of pathogens, debris clearance, and antigen presentation to T cells for adaptive immunity activation.

    Platelets

    • Primarily involved in blood clotting but also contribute to immune responses through the release of cytokines.

    Extracellular Killing Cells

    • Include natural killer cells and certain cytotoxic T lymphocytes, responsible for inducing apoptosis in target cells.
