2 phagocytosis Flashcards
phagocyte
ingest particles through zipper model, receptor driven
kinds of phagocytes
neutrophils macrophages/monocytes eosinophils basophils dendritic cells microglial cells osteoclasts
monocytes
circulate in the bloodstream
dendritic cells
present class II (humoral + T cell response)
macrophages
1 long lived 2 present in tissues (when mature) 3 02 dependent killing not vigorous 4 conditions amenable for intracellular growth of pathogens 5 pathogen tactics in battle
macrophage pathogen tactics in battle
1 circumvent respiratory burst
2 break out of phagosome
3 prevent phagolysosome fusion
4 resist granule contents
polymorphs
1 short lived
2 circulating
3 respond to conditions stimulating inflammation, leaving circulation
4 vigorous respiratory burst during phagocytosis
5 extremely hostile environment
6pathogen tactics
pathogen tactics of polymorphs
- resist phagocytes
- kill or be killed
receptors on phagocytes
phagocytic receptors, adhesion receptors, activation receptors, MHC class I and II
phagocytic receptors
integrins and complement receptors + lectins + Fc receptors
3 roles for complement components
bacteria lysis
phagocytic chemotaxis
bacteria opsonizatoin
Fc receptor
if you are immune to an organism, phagocytes can still recognize with their Fc receptors
- Fc receptors recognize the constant region of IgG
- Fc receptors help internalize the microorganism and degrade it
2 receptor classes
immune + nonimmune
opsonization
recognition by specific receptors, convenient way to limit the number of receptors on surface of phagocytic cells
lectin
receptors on phagocytes can also recognize yeast; they can recognize carbs on yeast cells
in absence of acquired immunity
c3bi and complement receptors
in presence of acquired immunity
igG, opson, Fc receptors
lectin
direct recognition of specific cabs
-a specific receptor
dectins
major class of phagocyte lectins is involved in recognition of fungal pathogens
activation receptors
toll like receptors, IL-1 receptor, TNF receptor, IFN gamma receptor
toll like receptors
recognize nuclei acids, LPS, lipoproteins specific for microorganisms
IL-1 receptor
mediator of inflammation
iFN gamma receptor
classical way where phagocytes get activated, associated with inflammatory response
early classical activation
1 inflammation
