Not on host cells and essential for microbe survival
PAMPS
Two types of response for innate immunity
inflammation and anti-viral defense
Enzymes of the epithelial barrier
lysozyme, defensins, cathedicins, intraepthelial T-cells
complements are synthesized mainly in the
liver
3 pathways to initiate complement activation
alternative (microbe), classical (antibody), and lectin pathways (all act on C3)
Alternate pathway of complement activation
C3–> C3b, C3a–> C3b attaches to OH or NH group on bacteria–> factor B stabilizes C3b–> factor D breaks down factor B to factor Bb–>C3bBb convertase rapidly converts more C3 at microbe surface–> convertase also cleaves C5 to allow for the formation of membrane attack complex
decay acceleration factor/ CD59 are cell surface proteins that deactivate these
C3 convertases/MAC
Complements role in inflammation
C3a–> degranulates mast cells
C5a–> recruits neutrophils
