Immune Response

In seroconversion for DM Type I, the primary response is the production of autoantibodies against pancreatic islet cells.

Acquired Immunity

Passive immunity is characterized by the transfer of antibodies or immune cells from one individual to another, providing temporary protection against infection.

Antibody Action

Opsonization is an antibody action that marks pathogens for destruction by phagocytic cells.

Immunology Textbooks

The HLA system is covered in the textbook "Immunobiology" by Janeway.

Allergies and Pathophysiology

The article "Misery for all seasons: Allergies, a modern epidemic" can be found in the publication "The New Yorker".
The textbook "Understanding Pathophysiology" by Huether and McCance discusses the understanding of pathophysiology.

Immune Cells

Alveolar macrophages (dust cells) are located in the lungs.
Fibroblasts are responsible for wound healing in the proliferative phase.
Pleural macrophages function to remove debris and pathogens from the pleural space.

Inflammation

Histamine is a chemical mediator that induces vasodilation and bronchoconstriction.
The plasma-derived protein system known as the complement system contains inactive enzymes (proenzymes) and is involved in inflammation.
Cellular mediators involved in inflammation include chemokines, cytokines, and eicosanoids, which act on blood vessels, inflammatory cells, or other cells to contribute to an inflammatory response.

This quiz covers the various locations of macrophages in the body, including the bloodstream, bone marrow, CNS, connective tissue, epidermis, liver, lung, lymph nodes, serous fluids, and spleen. Additionally, it includes the chemical mediators involved in macrophage function.
