Chap 5 slides Flashcards
Later stages of inflammation are the?
acute phase responses (APRs)
Acute phase responses (APRs) are induced by proinflammatory cytokines?
IL-1, TNF-α, IL-6
APR involves?
Increased synthesis/secretion of antimicrobial proteins by the liver
Antimicrobial proteins by the liver?
Mannose Binding Lectin (MBL)
C-reactive Protein (CRP)
Complement components
What proteins activate other processes that help eliminate pathogens?
Liver acute phase proteins
Lymphocytes with innate immune functions?
NK cells
NK cells Express a limited set of receptors for self-proteins induced by?
Infections
Malignant transformations
Other stresses
Activated NK cells perform one of two functions?
Kill the altered self-cell
Produce cytokines that induce adaptive responses against the altered self-cell
Activated NK cells, Kill the altered self-cell by releasing what two substances that induce apoptosis?
Perforin and Granzymes
NK cells use what kind of receptors to distinguish between healthy and infected cells?
Activating and inhibitory
What MHC class on normal cells are recognized by inhibitory receptors that inhibit signals from activating receptors.?
MHC 1 Class
What happens to a cell that is missing MHC 1 class negative signal receptors?
Nk cell is activated by active receptor and kills cell lacking MHC 1 class
NK cells expresses what TNF family of ligand on cell surface?
TNF receptor TRAIL
TNF ligand family TRAIL binds and activate what on target cell?
DR4 DR5
DR4 and DR5 VIA FADD activate cascape-8 which induces what?
Cell death
NK-cell receptors belong to several structural families?
KIRs, KLRs, and NCRs
Activating receptors that sense target cells?
NKp30
NKp44
NKp46
NKG2D
Ligands for NKG2D are?
MIC-A/ MIC-B
RAET1 family
