The Study of Blood Groups Antigens and Antibodies. Set 1

Nonspecific host defense that exist before exposure to an antigen involves the anatomic and inflammatory response.

Cells that engulf microorganisms, other cells and foreign particles include neutorphils macrophages and monocytes

Factors secreted by certain cells that when activated promote or inhibit a response form another cell or tissue.

Increase in the diameter of blood vessels.

Tissue swelling caused by an increase in fluid from the vasculature(the arrangement of blood vessels in the body or any part of it including their relationship and functions).

Ciruculating granulocyte involved in the early immune response.

Results when immunologic memeory and specificity develop in response to the antigen and involves cell-mediated and humoral responses.

Leukocytes that mediate humoral or cell-mediated immunity.

Leukocytes that circulate (monocytes) or are in tissue (machrophages) involved in phagocytosis and antigen presenting.

Cells that process and present antigenic peptides in association with Class II major histocompatability complex (MHC) molecules and activate T cells.

Another name for neutrophils

Lymphocytes that mature in the thymus and express specific receptors involved in cellular immunity.

Lymphocytes that mature in the bone marrow differeniate into plasma cells and produce antibodies.

Adaptive immunity in which B lymphocytes and plasma cells produce specific antibodies that recognize and react with an antigen

Cell from which differentiated cells divide
