Type of immunity that:
Non-specific general Immediate response

broad range
Innate Immunity
type of immunity that:
Specific to antigen
Lag time from exposure to response
Immunological memory after exposure
Adaptive Immunity
Natural barriers and the inflammatory response
Innate resistance
Skin and mucous membranes
First line
Natural barriers:
Inflammation is the ____ line of defense
second
Adaptive (acquired) immunity is the ____ line of defense
third
Synthesize and secrete substances to trap or destroy microorganisms
Antimicrobial peptides
Normal microbiome
Biochemical barriers (first line of defense)
Cellular and chemical components
Nonspecific
Rapidly initiated
Inflammatory response
second line of defense
Clinical Indications:
Generalized malaise
Fever
Pain often localized to the inflamed area
Rapid pulse rate
Acute Inflammatory Response
Lab Values:
Increased neutrophil count in peripheral blood
Increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate
Increased acute phase proteins in blood
Acute Inflammatory Response
Protein systems that provide a biochemical barrier against invading pathogens are the:
(3 types of plasma protein systems)
Complement system
Clotting system
Kinin system
(Plasma Protein Systems)
Can destroy pathogens directly
Activates or collaborates with every other component of the inflammatory response
Complement system
Pathway that:
Antibody and antigens
Classical
Pathway that:
Mannose-containing bacterial carbohydrates
Lectin:
Pathway that:
Gram-negative bacterial and fungal cell wall polysaccharides (pathogen surfaces)
Alternative:
Humoral Pattern Receptors Compliment Enzymes Cytokines
Cellular
Phagocytes
Natural Killer Cells
Innate Immunity
Humoral
Antibodies
Cytokines
Cellular
T cells
B cells
Adaptive Immunity
PLasma protein system where:
Forms a fibrinous mesh at an injured or inflamed site
Prevents the spread of infection.
Keeps microorganisms and foreign bodies at the site of inflammation for removal.
Forms a clot that stops the bleeding.
Provides a framework for repair and healing
clotting
Plasma protein system where:
Functions to activate and assist inflammatory cells.
Causes dilation of blood vessels, pain, smooth muscle contraction, vascular permeability, and leukocyte chemotaxis.
Kinin
Inflammation Cellular Mediators that:
Mast cells
Granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils)
Monocytes and macrophages
Natural killer (NK) cells and lymphocytes
Cellular fragments (platelets)
Cellular mediators
Inflammation Cellular Mediators that:
Are responsible for vascular changes.
Modulate the localization and activities of other inflammatory cells.
Include histamine, chemotactic factors, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, and the platelet-activating factor.
Biochemical mediators
Inflammation Cellular Mediators that:
Regulate innate or adaptive resistance by affecting other neighboring cells.
Are either proinflammatory or antiinflammatory.
Chemokines or cytokines
Inflammation Cellular Mediators that:
The same molecule may have a large variety of different biologic activities, depending on the particular target cell to which it binds.
Are either synergistic or antagonistic.
Include interleukins, interferons, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF).
Actions are pleiotropic:
Cytokines that:
Are produced primarily by macrophages and lymphocytes in response to a microorganisms or stimulation by other products of inflammation.
Interleukins (ILs)
Cytokines that:
Protect against viral infections
Interferons (INFs)
Cytokines that:
Produces local and systemic effects
TNF-α
Cytokines that:
pro inflammatory that causes fevers
IL1
Cytokines that:
pro inflammatory that help with healing
IL6
Are cellular bags of granules located in loose connective tissues close to blood vessels.
(Skin, digestive lining, and respiratory tract)
Mast Cells
how are mast cells activated?
Physical injury, chemical agents, immunologic processes, and TLRs
Mast cells release chemicals in what two ways?
Degranulation
Synthesis of lipid-derived chemical mediators
Predominate in early inflammatory responses.
Ingest bacteria, dead cells, and cellular debris.
Are short lived and become components of the purulent exudate (pus).
Neutrophils
Phagocytes
Primary roles:
Removal of debris in sterile lesions
Phagocytosis of bacteria in nonsterile lesions
Neutrophils
Phagocytes
Provide the defense against parasites and regulate vascular mediators.
Help control vascular effects of inflammation.
primary defense against parasites
Eosinophils
Phagocytes
Are similar to but are not mast cells.
Are an important source for cytokine IL-4.
Are associated with allergies and asthma.
Their role is uncertain.
Basophils
Phagocytes
Is the process by which a cell ingests and disposes of foreign material.
Phagocytosis
6 steps of Phagocytosis
Opsonization Recognition Engulfment Phagosome formation Fusion with lysosomal granules Destruction of the target
Are susceptible to bacterial infections.
Have transiently depressed inflammatory and immune function.
neonates
End-products of adaptive immunity:
T and B cells
Lymphocytes:
End-products of adaptive immunity:
Immunoglobulins (Ig)
Antibodies:
Each individual T or B cell specifically recognizes only one particular_______
antigen.
Primary lymphoid organs:
Is the _____ for T cells
_____ for B cells.
Is the thymus for T cells
bone marrow for B cells.
B cell receptors (BCRs) on their _______
cell membrane
types of T cells
Cytotoxic T-cells
Helper T-cells
Memory T-cells
contains surface protein CD8
destroys viral infections
distroys tumor cells
Cytotoxic T-cells
contains CD4
Helper T-cells
Antibodies or T cells are produced after either
a natural exposure to an antigen or after immunization.
Is long lived
Active Immunity—Active Acquired Immunity
Preformed antibodies or T lymphocytes are transferred from a donor to a recipient.
Occurs naturally or artificially.
Is temporary or short lived.
Passive Immunity—Passive Acquired Immunity
Is a molecule that can react with antibodies or receptors on B and T cells.
Is mostly protein but can be other molecules as well.
Sites for binding to antibodies and lymphocytes
