Test Bank For Cellular and Molecular
Immunology, 10th Edition by Abul K. Abbas
Innate Immunity - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Protection against
infection that relies on mechanisms that exist before
infection, are capable of a rapid response to microbes,
and react in essentially the same way to repeated infection
Plasma Cells - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Terminally differentiated
antibody-secreting B lymphocyte with an oval shape,
eccentric nucleus and perinuclear halo
Memory Cells - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Cells produced by antigen
stimulation of naive lymphocytes that mediate rapid and
enhanced responses to second and subsequent
exposures to antigens
Phagocytes - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Cells, including neutrophils
and macrophages, whose function is to ingest and destroy
microbes and get rid of damaged tissues
Neutrophils - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Most abundant WBC's that
mediate earliest phases of inflammatory reactions
, Mononuclear Phagocytes - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Includes
circulating cells (monocytes) and tissue-resident cells
(macrophages)
Classical Activation - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Cytokines made by T
cell subsets activate macrophages to become efficient at
killing microbes
Alternative Activation - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Cytokines made by
T cell subsets activate macrophages to promote tissue
remodeling and repair
Mast Cells - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Bone marrow-derived cells
present in skin and mucosal epithelia, which contain
abundant cytoplasmic granules filled with histamine and
other mediators
Basophils - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Blood granulocytes with many
structural and functional similarities to mast cells
Eosinophils - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Blood granulocytes that
express cytoplasmic granules containing enzymes that are
harmful to the cell walls of parasites but can also damage
host tissues
Antigen-Presenting Cells - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Cells that
capture microbial and other antigens, display them to
lymphocytes, and provide signals that stimulate the
proliferation and differentiation of lymphocytes
