Study Notes
Hematopoietic Stem Cells
- Originate in fetal tissues
- Primarily reside in bone marrow of adult vertebrates
- Small number can be found in adult spleen and liver
Lymphoid Progenitor Cells
- Give rise to B cells, T cells, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), and specific dendritic cell populations
- Do not give rise to granulocytes
Innate Immune System
- Composed of monocytes/macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells (DCs), plasma proteins (complements and collectins), endothelial cells, and natural killer cells (NK cells)
Immune Cell Functions
- Macrophages: Phagocytosis and activation of bactericidal mechanisms
- Dendritic Cells: Antigen uptake in peripheral sites and antigen presentation
- Neutrophils: Killing of antibody-coated parasites
- Basophils: Release of granules containing histamine and active agent, promotion of allergic responses
- Eosinophils: Augmentation of anti-parasitic immunity
- Mast Cells: Promotion of allergic responses
Regulatory T Cells
- Suppress the activity of other lymphocytes
- Limit potential damage of immune responses
Circulation of Lymphocytes
- Naive lymphocytes constantly recirculate through peripheral lymphoid tissues
- Lymphocytes may encounter their specific antigens and become activated in peripheral lymphoid tissues
Spleen
- Marginal zone contains T cells, B cells, and macrophages
Peyer’s Patches
- Part of the gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT)
- Other components of GALT: tonsils, adenoids, appendix
Immune Response Sequence
- Antigen-presenting cell (APC) presents antigen
- Lymphocyte recognizes antigen
- Lymphocyte differentiates into a lymphoblast
- Lymphoblast divides into daughter cells with identical specificity
- Daughter cells differentiate into effector cells
