Study Notes
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.
