1Cells of the Immune System
2Lymphocytes (derived from lymphoid progenitor)
Large, granular
3Mononuclear Phagocytes
Granulocytes Neutrophils Phagocytes First
to arrive at problem Eosinophils Phagocytes
Defense against parasites? Basophils
Nonphagocytic Allergies ?
Dendritic cells Diverse functions
Antigen capture Antigen presentation

14Macrophage
Also Fc receptors bind circulating ab-ag
complexes further activation. This process is
called opsinization

41Toll-like receptors Originally indentified in
Drosophila Binds to LPS Identified in mice by
Bruce Beutler
Similar to domain on the IL-1 receptor

44In neutrophils and macrophages
These act as antimicrobials
Inducible nitric oxide synthetase (iNOS)
Induced by receptors suchas TLRs or exposure to
cytokines by phagocytes L-arg O2 NADPH ?
NO L-citrulline NADP
