CELLS INVOLVED IN THE IMMUNE RESPONSE A. HUMORAL LIQUID PART OF THE BLOOD 1)PLASMA 5% OF BODY WEIGHT MAINLY WATER 2) SERUM PROTEIN PART OF BLOOD, MORE VISCOUS THAN PLASMA a)COMPLEMENT: PROTEINS WHICH LYSE ANTIBODY COATED CELLS b)ANTIBODIES: GLYCOPROTEINS WHICH BIND TO ANTIGENS B. CELLULAR 1)PLATELETS: THROMBOCYTES CLOT THE BLOOD 2) RED BLOOD CELLS – ERYTHROCYTES RED BLOOD CELLS CARRY O2 USE IRON IN HEMOGLOBIN 3) WHITE BLOOD CELLS LEUKOCYTES FUNCTIONS: 1. PHAGOCYTOSIS 2. PRODUCE ANTIBODIES 3. CLEAN BLOOD CLOTS 4. KILL CELLS ON CONTACT A.GRANULOCYTES GRAINY CYTOPLASM INFLAMMATORY MEDIATORS 1.NEUTROPHILS: 50 – 70% MOST ABUNDANT 100 BILLION PRODUCED/DAY ST 1 AT SITE OF INJURY DIAPEDESIS – SQUEEZE THRU CAPILLARIES 2. BASOPHILS .5 – 1% INCREASE IN BACTERIAL/ VIRAL INFECTIONS INFLAMMATORY MEDIATORS – RELEASE HISTAMINE HEPARIN 3. ESINOPHILS: 1 – 5% INCREASE IN WORMS, ALLERGIES KILL ON CONTACT DIGEST EXTRACELLULAR PARASITES 4. NATURAL KILLER CELLS KILL CANCER CELLS FOREIGN GRAFTS VIRUS INFESTED CELLS B. AGRANULOCYTES: LACK A GRAINY CYTOPLASM AND ARE NOT INFLAMMATORY INITIATORS 1.MACROPHAGES 2. 2 – 6% 3. CALLED MONOCYTES IN CIRCULATION 4. FOLLOW NEUTROPHILS TO SITE 5. ANTIGEN PRESENTING CELL 2. DENDRITIC CELLS – ANTIGEN PRESENTING CELL COMMON AT MUCUS MEMBRANES MAY ACTUALLY PRESENT HIV VIRUSES TO TH CELLS 3. LYMPHOCYTES: MAKE UP 20 – 30 % A. T – LYMPHOCYTES SPEND TIME IN THE THYMUS DISCOVERED IN THE 1950’S AND 1960’S MANY TYPES 1)T HELPER CELLS AKA – CD4 CELLS PRESENT ANTIGENS TO B CELLS 2)CYTOTOXIC T CELLS – TCYTO AKA – CD8 CELLS LYSE CELLS ON CONTACT – THIS DESTROYS VIRUS INFESTED CELLS 3)T REGULATORY/ T SUPPRESSOR CELL – SLOW DOWN IMMUNE RESPONSE PREVENT OVERKILL 4)T DELAYED TYPE HYPERSENSITIVITY CELL INVOLVED WITH DELAYED TYPE ALLERGIES – LIKE POISON IVY, METALS B –LYMPHOCYTES OR B CELLS PRODUCE ANTIBODIES B CELLS THAT PRODUCE ANTIBODIES ARE KNOWN AS PLASMA CELLS USUALLY REQUIRE ACTIVATION THROUGH THE T HELPER CELLS
