Ch.2 Acute Inflammation pt.3 Flashcards
collection of soluble proteins (pre-made) and their membrane receptors that function mainly in host defense against microbes and in pathologic inflammatory reaction
Complement System
Innate
Inflamation will caused the trigger and release of chemokine TNF & Il-6 which will trigger an ____ ___ ____ in the liver. What does this response release?
Acute Phase response; releases pre-made complement protiens from the liver.
The critical step in complement activation is the _____ ____ of the third (and most abundant) component, C3
Proteolytic Cleavage
What complement pathway?
which is triggered by fixation of C1 to antibody (IgM or IgG formed adaptively) that has combined with antigen.
*req pre-formed antibodys
Classical
C1- antibody (IgM & IgG)
What complement pathway?
which is triggered by microbial surface molecules (e.g.,endotoxin, or lipopolysaccharide [LPS]), complex polysaccharides, and other substances, in the absence of antibody.
Alternative pathway
C3B innate ability to bind surface microbs
Which Complement pathway?
plasma mannose-binding lectin binds to carbohydrates on microbes and activates C1, also without a role for antibody
Lectin Pathway
MBL binds to mannose on microb
All three patways of the complement actiation lead to the formation of an enzyme called?
C3 convertase
Splits C3 into C3a & C3b
What does C3B go on to do?
Bind to other fragments and produce C5 Convertase.
What does C5 convertase do?
Cleaves C5 into C5a & C5b
C5b binds the late components (C6-C9), culminating in the formation of the ____
Membrane attack complex MAC
Function of Complement:
C3a and C5a are ____ they trigger mast cell degranulation resulting in histamine mediated vasodialation and increase in vascular permeability
Inflamation (1)
Anaphylotoxins
Function of complement:
When C3b and cleavage products are fixed to microbial walls, they act as ____ promoting phagocytosis by neutrophils & macrophages.
The leukocytes have receptors for the _____
Opsinins!
Opsinization & phagocytosis (2)
Function of complement:
assembly of the MAC on cells creates holes in the cell membrane that allow intracellular water and ions to leak out, resulting in the** death (lysis) of the cells**
Cell Lysis (3)
What kind of thin-walled microbes are verys suseptible to complement induced cell lysis?
Neisseria bacteria
Meningococci and Gonococci
Complement activation is heavily controled by ____ protiens that prevent healthy tissue from being injured at sites of complement activation
Regulatory Proteins
What complement regulatory protien?
blocks the activation of C1, the first protein of the classical complement pathway.
Inherited deficeny= hereditary angioedema
C1 inhibitor (C1 INH)
What complement regulatory protien?
____prevents formation of C3 convertases and ____ **inhibits formation of the membrane attack complex.**
paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH)
Decay accelerating factor (DAF) and CD59
What complement regulatory protien?
plasma protein that promotes the inactivation of the C3 convertase
Deficency causes what?
Factor H
Excessive complement activation
Proinflamatory protien produced by the live in an inacitve from APP
Hangeman Factor (XII)
Link btwn coagulation cascade & inflmation
What activate the Hangeman Factor?
Coming into contact with exposed sub-endothelium or collagen
