Study Notes
Immune Response Cells
- Dendritic cells play a central role in the activation of B cells, Tc cells, and other cells that participate in the immune response.
Lymphocytes
- T cells and B cells constitute 5%-10% of peripheral blood lymphocytes and attack pathogens and abnormal cells.
- T cells are involved in cell-mediated immune response, which activates mainly T cytotoxic cells and macrophages.
- B cells are involved in humoral immune response, which activates mainly B cells.
Cell Characteristics
- Natural Killer (NK) cells lack surface markers or membrane-associated proteins from B or T lymphocytes and lack immunologic specificity and memory.
- Monocytes are part of the innate immune system, replenish resident macrophages and dendritic cells, and function in both innate and adaptive immunity.
- Dendritic cells are specialized phagocytic cells that stimulate lymphocytes and other immune cells to respond to pathogens.
Cell Movement and Inflammation
- Eosinophils move by amoeboid movement in the tissues as a hallmark of chronic inflammation.
Cell Populations
- Neutrophils are the predominant cells in pus, accounting for its whitish/yellowish appearance.
- Eosinophils are involved in combating multicellular parasites and certain infections.
- Macrophages and dendritic cells do not have antigen-specific receptors and assist other cells in the immune response.
Cell Locations
- Microglia are named based on their tissue location in the brain.
- Neutrophils constitute 50%-70% of circulating white blood cells.
- Lymphocytes are not involved in phagocytosis.
Leukocytes
- Kupffer cells are found in the liver and are involved in phagocytosis.
- Dendritic cells are classified as antigen-presenting cells.
Lymphoid Organs
- The primary function of the lymphoid organs in the body is to support the immune system by providing a site for lymphocyte development, activation, and proliferation.
- Lymphoid organs provide a site for immune cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation.
Lymphocyte Functions
- There are three populations of lymphocytes based on function and cell-membrane components: B cells, T cells, and NK cells.
- Plasma cells serve as the effector cells for the B cell lineage.
- Some progeny of B and T lymphoblasts differentiate into memory cells.
Immune Response
- Memory cells are responsible for the life-long immunity observed for many pathogens.
- The CD nomenclature was originally developed for leukocyte surface molecules.
- Monoclonal Abs that react with a particular membrane molecule are commonly used to identify and isolate specific cell populations.
- Lymphoid organs provide a site for immune cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation.
