Cutaneous and Mucosal Immune Systems + Vaccination Flashcards
What is Waldeyer’s Ring?
The ring of lymphoid tissues around the entrance of the gut/airway
Formed by Tonsils and Adenoids
Two forms of lymphatics found in the gut
Organized
Single Lymphoid Follicles
Purpose of M cells?
Specialized to transport microorganisms to gut-associated lymphoid tissues
Two examples of built-in secondary lymphoid tissues of the gut
Peyer’s Patches
Colonic Patches
Describe the functional relationship of M cells and Peyer’s Patches
M cells capture bacteria from the gut lumen, deliver it and their antigens to dendritic cells/lymphocytes of Peyer’s Patch
Antibody that works in the intestinal lumen? How?
IgA
Enters via transcytosis across epithelial cells
What binding molecule aids IgA in transcytosis?
PIgR
Polymerized IG A Receptor
How do dendritic cells capture gut antigens?
DCs can extend processes across the epithelial cell layer to capture antigens from the gut lumen
How do gut homing T cells make it work?
Bind to interstitial vascular endothelium, enter lam. pro.
In LP, gut-homing T cells bind chemokines of intestinal epit.
Effector cells found in healthy intestinal epithelium
Tregs
CD8, CD4, Plasma, Mast, Macro, DC
How is IgG transported from the gut to the lumen?
FcRn
M cells work in what three locations
Peyer’s
Adenoids
Tonsils
Three types of vaccines utilized?
Active Immunization
Passive Immunization
DNA/Recombinant Vaccines
How might an attenuated virus be generated?
Pathogenic virus isolated from human cells
Virus is grown in monkey cell culture
Cell mutates/adapts to monkey cells
These no longer grow well in humans, use for vaccine
Active Immunity is…
Development of antibodies in response to injected foreign antigen
(Vaccination)
Passive Immunity is…
Using antibodies from a donor and transferring them in order to provide immediate protection
