Study Notes
- Immune cells originate and mature in specific locations within the body
- Immune cells can be categorized as either innate or adaptive
Immune Cell Generation and Maturation
- Neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils are innate immune cells that are generated and mature in the bone marrow
- B-lymphocytes, an adaptive immune cell, are also generated and mature in the bone marrow
- Natural killer T-lymphocytes (innate), cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (adaptive), and Helper T-lymphocytes (adaptive) are generated in the bone marrow but mature in the thymus
Immune Cell Differentiation
- Pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow give rise to common lymphoid progenitors and common myeloid progenitors
- Common lymphoid progenitors differentiate into B cells, T cells, and NK cells in the lymph nodes
- Common myeloid progenitors differentiate into granulocyte/macrophage progenitors and megakaryocyte/erythrocyte progenitors in the bone marrow
- Granulocytes differentiate into neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils located in blood.
- In blood monocytes differentiate into neutrophils
- In tissues, monocytes differentiate into macrophages or dendritic cells
- B cells, T cells and NK cells are found inside the lymph nodes
- Mature dendritic cells, mast cells, and macrophages are present in tissues
- Effector cells, including activated plasma cells, activated T cells, and activated NK cells, are also located in the lymph nodes
