Ask not for whom the toll, um, the toll like receptor… ask not for whom it… its ligand… um, it signals for thee

You know what? This isn't okay.
Pathogens work hard to infect host cells and reproduce. It's the only way for them to perpetuate their own existence. Letting pathogens infect host cells is absolutely necessary to prevent their total extermination. Killing is wrong! Immune cells need to learn to be tolerant of other microbes instead of destroying us just because we want to seize and consume this body's resources.

#shitpost#immunology#immunology shitposting#meme#mhc#b cell receptor#bcr crosslinking#this meme brought to you by my mom and I making fun of a question on a quiz I had for literature class#where one of the questions was ‘which of these is NOT a feature of the Greek underworld’#and I guess the professor just picked a random Greek sounding word but the specific word they picked was leukocyte#so we were pretending that leukocytes were in different literary traditions#and that morphed into talking about ‘immuno-christian values’ and I got inspired to throw this nonsense together

Whenever I get a puncture wound I feel so smug towards any tetanus that might be in there. They have no idea about my sick ass vaccinated immune system. While you were crawling in soil my cells were studying Tdap. Now die by the hands of my learnéd warriors.

characters who view themselves as tools/weapons first and people second... characters who martyr themselves for a cause because they think that's the only way they can be worth something... characters who push themselves past their breaking point again and again and again... characters for whom devotion and masochism are inseparable... characters whose self-sacrifice becomes self-annihilation...... what was my point again? i had a point. anyway.

There are only two T helper cell subsets, Th1 and Th2. All the other so-called “subsets” are just made up by the woke mob to make T cell biology more confusing.

Jane Prentiss’s landlord underwent pyroptosis send post
#Jane Prentiss#TMA#MAG 55#immunology#pyroptosis#I’m lowkey fascinated rn by the way multiple encounters with The Corruption have been solved by arson#and the seeming connection to the Lightless Flame that if accurate sets up sort of a rivalry between the two entities#paralleling the balance between immunological tolerance and reactivity#and how the difference between bugs infesting buildings and pathogens infesting bodies is#at least in the context of the Corruption#only a matter of scale#the flat is a body#the landlord its immune system#attempting to maintain the boundaries between self and nonself#and the hive an infection which—up until that point—had succeeded in evading the innate immune response#but the landlord is not a complete functioning immune system#all he can do is react against what is foreign#but there is more to any life than a single organism whose cells descend from a common progenitor#and without tolerance there can be no self to defend#or any sort of symbiosis—parasitic commensal or mutualistic#and that’s not even getting into the rivalry the Corruption seems to have with the Eye#to be seen and known and bound and remembered does tend to rob pathogens of their power#and from a purely mental fear standpoint I don’t really see a compelling reason why seeing and learning about a disease would#take away the fear of it#but also I’m only a few episodes into season 2 of TMA so I may be a bit uninformed#rambling in the tags

Update: never mind, the peer reviewers pointed out that they’re just describing NK cells.
In a recent preprint, immunologists have apparently discovered the amogucyte, a new kind of immune cell whose apparent function is to vote out cells who are sus.
