Origin and Development of Adaptive Immunity
- Stem cells:
- Red bone marrow
- Give rise to all blood cells
- Give rise to some pre T cells and pre B cells
Eosinophils:
- Produced in red bone marrow
- Release chemicals to reduce inflammation
Innate Cells
Mast cells:
T cells:
- Made in red bone marrow
- Found in skin, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urogenital tract
- Can release leukotrienes
- White blood cells:produce in red bone marrow and lymphatic tissue that fight foreign substances
- Phagocytic cells:
- Ingest and destroy foreign substances
- Ex. neutrophils and macrophages
- Neutrophils:first to respond to infection but die quickly
- Type of lymphocyte
- Involved in cell-mediated immunity primarily and antibody-mediated immunity
- Mature in thymus gland
- Move to lymphatic tissue after mature
- 4 types
- Killer T Cells
- Helper T Cells
- Memory T Cells
- Suppressor T Cells
B cells:
Macrophages:
- Type of lymphocytes
- Involved in antibody-mediated immunity
- Originate from stem cells
- Mature in red bone marrow
- Move to lymphatic tissue after mature
- Lead to production of antibodies
- Monocytes
- Leave blood and enter tissues
- Can ingest more than neutrophils
- Protect lymph in lymph nodes and blood in spleen and liver
- Given specific names for certain areas of body (Kupffer cells in liver)
Lymphocytes:
Basophils:
- Type of white blood cell
- Involved in adaptive immunity
- Develop from stem cells
- Differentiate into specific lymphocytes such as B or T cells
- Made in red bone marrow
- Leave blood and enter infected tissues
- Can release histamine
