4.1 (Quiz 1) Flashcards
First line of defense, rapid activation/response (immediately present)
Innate Immune System
Broadly distinguish self from non-self using PRRs
Innate Immune System
No memory
Innate Immune System
Subsequent response will be largely unchanged
Innate Immune System
Recruited response (delay) when innate response cannot control/eliminate
Adaptive Immune System
Highly specific using antigen specific T and B cell receptors
Adaptive Immune System
Immunological memory
Adaptive Immune System
Subsequent response is fast and will be improved
Adaptive Immune System
Tissue resident sensors of invasion
macrophages, dendritic cells, and mast cells
Serve as sentinel sensors of cell stress
tissue resident sensors
Tissue resident sensors of invasion form an important
first line defense barrier
Tissue resident sensors of invasion elicit
neutrophil recruitment to site of injury from blood stream
Up-regulation of adhesion molecules on endothelial cells is induced by
inflammatory mediators (i.e. TNF, IL-1
Pre-formed receptors (___) bind to structures that occur on pathogens (___) — NOT present on human cells
PRRs, PAMPs
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) located in endosomal membranes of cells recognize:
nucleic acids
PRRs are encoded by
germ-line DNA
Canonical inflammatory pathway
NF-kB:
Transcription factor that increases expression of proteins involved in acute inflammation
NF-kB:
Important bridge to trigger adaptive immune response
NF-kB:
Alternative pathway triggered by viral infections
Interferon regulatory factor (IRF)
