Study Notes
Immunology Fundamentals
- Edward Jenner is often attributed with the discovery that cowpox induces protection against human smallpox.
Immune System Function
- The main function of the immune system is to protect the body against infectious organisms and other foreign substances.
Origin of Immunology
- The origin of immunology is usually attributed to Edward Jenner.
Blood Cell Development
- All cellular blood components are derived from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) through the process of hematopoiesis.
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Location
- In adults, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are found in the bone marrow.
Myeloid Cells
- Myeloid cells include monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils.
Innate Immune System
- The innate immune system includes cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, dendritic cells, and eosinophils.
Macrophage Origin
- Macrophages originate from monocytes.
Alveolar Macrophage Function
- The main function of alveolar macrophages is to remove debris and other foreign substances from the lungs.
Liver Macrophages
- Macrophages found in the liver are called Kupffer cells.
Macrophage Recognition Receptors
- Macrophages can detect pathogens using recognition receptors that recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and other plasma proteins.
Bactericidal Action
- Macrophages produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill phagocytosed bacteria.
