Neutrophils Eosinophils Basophils Mast cells Monocytes/ Macrophages Dendritic cells NK cells CD8+ Tc lymphocytes CD4+ Th lymphocytes B lymphocytes Myeloid Lymphoid PMN/ Granulocytes Mononuclear cells
Anti-microbial
- Antibodies / immunoglobulins (IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, IgD)
- Pentraxins (eg. C-reactive protein)
- Collectins (eg. mannan-binding lectin)
- Complement proteins
- Defensins
- Lytic enzymes
- Interferons
- Cytotoxins (perforins, granzymes)
Regulatory / inflammatory
- Cytokines (eg. interleukins, interferons, tumour necrosis factors)
- Chemokines
- Prostaglandins, leukotrienes, etc. (products of arachidonic acid)
- Histamine

Stages of a primary immune response.
1) Epithelial barrier. 2) Immediate local response (innate): complement proteins macrophages 3) Early induced response (innate/ inflammatory): inflammatory mediators from complement, macrophages, mast cells - attract leucocytes and serum proteins (more complement)
4) Later adaptive response: antigen carriage by dendritic cells to lymphoid tissue activation of specific T and B lymphocytes and Ab production recirculation to site of infection Following primary infection:
- Memory T and B cells give faster and bigger responses
- n second exposure to the same infection (in stage 4 above).
