antibacterial immunity Flashcards
Different pathogens trigger
distinct immune response and effector mechansims
Parts of Innate Immunity
Macrophages, Neutrophils, Complement system
Parts of Adaptive Immunity
B cells and Antibody (IgG) T cells (Indirect help by helper CD4 T cells)
How neutorphils and Macrophages remove antigen
Phagocytosis
High Affinity receptors by the Phagocyte
Mannose receptor
Mac-1 Integrin
Scavenger receptor
Receptor that binds mannose on microbe cell wall mediated cell-microbe binding and initiating phagocytosis
Mannose receptor
Bind Microbes opsonized with complement proteins
MAc-1 Integrin
Binds Microbes in a non-mannose specific manner
Scavenger receptor
What region on the antibody binds to the Fc region of the phagocyte
Constant region
How Activated Macrophages and neutrophils can better kill pathogens
Reactive Oxyten Speices
Reactive Nitrogen INtermeidates (NO)
Conversion of Molecular oxygen into ROS
respiratory Burst
Strong activation of macrophages and neutrophils can do what
Hurt host tissue by release of lysosomal enzymes ROS and NO
-can;t differentiate between host and infected tissue
Macrophages fight what
Extracellular pathogens
How do macrophages remove antigens
Phagocytosis and production of ROS and RNI
What do macrophages do with antigen
take up soluble antigens and process and present it to T cells
Who helps MAcrophages
Helper CD4+ T cells via IFN_gama secretion
What do macrophages secrete
Pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines that induce inflammation and immune chemotaxis
Migrate towrads site of inflammation within an hour of tissue injury in response to chemotactic factors (IL-8, IFN-gama, C5a)
Neutrophil
how neutrophils kill extracellular pathogens
phagocytose microbes(ROS and RNI) also oxygen independent mechanisms via degranulation
Release of granules
Degranulation
What granules do neutrophils release
Defensisns
Myeloperoxidase
Neutrophil extracellular traps
Action of Neutrophil extraceullar traps
Neutrophil dies and releases DNA to trap incoming bacteria
Roll of Complement in Immunity against Extracellular microbes
Serves as opsonin and enhances phagocytosis
Serves as chemokine and activates leukocytes to site of inflammation
Forms membrane attack complex and mediates lysis of microbe
B cells fighting extracellular microbes
Produce antibodies for neutralization, opsonization, and memory
