HSC 4555 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Immunoglobulin M, Lipoprotein, Cardiovascular Disease
Document Summary
Innate: born with, non-specific, doesn"t have any memory. What are cell cells compared to foreign cells. Adaptive has memory: remembers that you have already had chicken pox. Want to destroy anything that invades the site. Will kill any invader that will come in, stays in one place. Inflammation traps any toxin that is trying to enter through the skin. Clotting of the arteries- something breaches the membrane and an inflammatory action occurs. At the site of inflammation a lipo-protein comes and provides a sticky patch. Eventually since it is chronic more sticky patches come and continue to come and then there is a block. Maturation of t cells are from helper cells. The classic types of adaptive immunity are: humoral-antibody mediated, cellular-t cell mediated. During active and acute injury this is the first to help. Igg last longer if the injury is chronic these will stay. Takes 7-10 days for a primary response to occur.
