Chapter 11: Dynamics of Adaptive Immunity Part 1 Flashcards
Exam 3
The course of infection is cleared by ________ innate and ________ immune mechanisms
cooperating innate and adaptive immune mechanisms
What are the four stages of infection?
- Establishment of Infection - alarm phase
- Inductive Phase - effector phase
- Effecotr Phase - central phase
- Memory Phase
Innate immunity is in which stages?
1, 2, and 3
Adaptive immunity is in which stages?
2, 3, and 4
Response to invading pathogens:
Step 1:
Local infection, penetration of epithelium
- wound healing induced
- antimicrobial proteins and peptides, phagocytes, and complement destroy invading microorganisms
Response to invading pathogens:
Step 2:
Local infection of tissues
- complement activation
-dendritic cells migrate to lymph nodes
- phagocytes action
- NK cells activated
-cytokines and chemokines produced
Response to invading pathogens:
Step 3:
Lymphatic spread
- pathogens trapped and phagocytosed in lymphoid tissue
- adaptive immunity initiated by migrating dendritic cells
Response to invading pathogens:
Step 4:
Adaptive Immunity
- infection cleared by specific antibody, T-Cell dependent macrophage activation and cytotoxic T cells
The character of the _______ response is critical to the outcom
T cell
BALB/c mice are highly susceptive to ______ because they preferentially generate ____
Leishmania major infection, IL-4 mediated TH2 Responses
C57/blk mice generate _______ to the same pathogen and are resistant
IFNg mediated Th1 responses
Blocking antibodies to ______can lead to a reverse in TH2/TH1 response in BALB/c
IL-4 (inhibiting), this response makes them resistant
T helper cell specific effector functions can regulate other _________
Th driven responses
- Activated TH2 cells secrete _______
______acts to inhibit the differentiation of _____
IL-4
Th1 cells
- Treg cells suppress the differentiation and proliferation of Th1 and Th2 cells
IL-4 or IFN-y can inhibit development of Th17 cells
Activated Th1 cells secrete IFN-y
IFN-y acts on TH2 cells to inhibit proliferation
What special quality do DCs have?
They determine which type of adaptive immune response is the best to induce against certain pathogens
DCs active and mature in response to ______ in periphery
danger
How do immature DC’s activate?
exogenous and endogenous danger input signals (DAMPS)
What happens with an immature DC?
- Antigen Uptake
- Information gathered
What happens during DC maturation?
- Phenotypic changes
- Antigen uptake halts
- LN migration (CCR7)
Where do the PAMPS occur?
In the exogenous area involving the immature DC
What happens in the endogenous area aka the tissue stroma?
Signaling pathway is involved
Where does DC output occur?
in the lymphatic tissue
What is the concept of environmental instruction?
DC programming/environmental instruction (peripheral tissue) is the input & DC output (lymphatic tissue)
Output: gets translated/programs being read
- Signal 3 is dependent on Signal 0.
What is signal 0?
The response of the Thelper cells based on the dendritic cell tissue response
What do DC’s relay?
information they’ve gathered about the problem and the peripheral environment
What do migratory DC’s tell them?
- What is the issue?
- What is the danger of the response?
- What is the type of response needed?
