Q

protective antigen - anthrax (lars sub - front door)

A

2 subunits, binds to receptors, anthrax receptor not meant for toxin, small subunit gets separated from rest of protective antigen. subunit now assembles with subunits and forms a channel. edema factor and lethal factor taken inside cell in endosomal vessel. copies for a multi-subunit structure. when taken inside there will be proton pumping, which acidifies the lethal and edema factor to come out in cytoplasm.

Q

Cholera toxin modifies G protein (Chiq A jeans - bed)

A

and A part causes ADP ribosylation. G protein controls activation of adenylate cyclase - ATP to cAMP. then build up of cAMP in cell. Then Ca++, Na+, K+, Cl- all opened up, and get into intestines and creates hypertonic environment. draws water out of the cells, leads to diarrhea. A subunit adds to G protein and locks it in. adenylate cyclase is constantly activated

NMP IF

phagocytosis (neutrophils, macrophages), fever, inflammation

32
Q

3rd line of defense

A

adaptive immunity - B cells (lymphocytes) and T lymphocytes.

33
Q

A

viral / bacterial proteins (toxins) that binds simultaneously to portion of T cell receptor and to MHC class II molecules

37
Q

Consequence of super antigens (super t-rex guest room)

A

activates T cells irrespective of their antigenic specificity- activated T cells secretes large amount of cytokines TNF α and IL-1. Results in systemic reactions including fever, systemic clotting activation, shock etc

38
Q

Superantigens are..(eyes)

A

cytotoxins -they don’t enter the target cells

39
Q

40
Q

A

are MEMBRANE proteins coded by some viruses that infects mammalian cells

43
Q

How superantigens benefits pathogen? (super - hallway)

A

No clear answer; nonspecific T cell activation may slow down response that would otherwise restrict colonization. Cytokine outbursts disrupts cells and microenvironment for productive defensive response would have eliminated pathogen.
induces T cell tolerance for the pathogen

49
Q

botulism targets…(junction)
