Sample text

The elements of a three phase immune response are presented in Figure 1-7. ) and avoid non-specific destruction by complement are met by innate leukocytes. Using broadly specific control mechanisms, these cells attempt to limit the pathogen’s spread. If the innate leukocytes are unable to eradicate the threat, the lymphocytes of adaptive immunity generate humoral and cell-mediated responses against unique pathogen antigens. The interplay between innate and adaptive immunity is sustained by cytokine signaling and through direct intercellular contacts between innate and adaptive leukocytes.

01% of all bone marrow cells. However, HSCs are capable of tremendous proliferation and differentiation in response to an increased demand by the body for hematopoiesis. Hematopoietic stem cells are said to be both multipotent and selfrenewing. Multipotency means that an HSC can differentiate into any one of a variety of hematopoietic cell types, including lymphocytes, macrophages, DCs etc. Self-renewal means that, Relative level of hematopoiesis In general, DCs are irregularly shaped, short-lived cells that exhibit long, fingerlike membrane processes resembling the dendrites of nerve cells.

WASP is involved in both the signal transduction and actin polymerization required for hematopoietic cell differentiation and activation. Classical WAS patients show a characteristic constellation of immunodeficiency, eczema and platelet deficiency, and are highly susceptible to infection, tumorigenesis, autoimmunity and allergy. Non-classical WAS patients have only some of these disease features. In classical WAS patients, the few T cells present show abnormal proliferation and impaired responses to antigens.
