Q

MBL is homologous to ………..

23
Q

What is the role of MBL in lectin pathway?

A

Binds to the sugars or carbohydrates on the surface of the pathogen

24
Q

Why classical intitation pathway is considered as innate and adaptive immune system?

A

Because C1 complex can either bind directly to the surface of the pathogen or to antibodies on the surfae (IgG, IgM)

25
What is C1complex composed of ?
6 identical subunits of C1q , 2 of C1s, 2of C1r
26
What cleaves C4,C2
The enzymatic form of C1s
27
When does alternative pathway initiate?
By the cleavege if C3 by hydrolysis
28
What is the result from C3 cleavage that is used in alternative pathway?
C3b
29
C3b binds to .............,.
Proteins and carbohydrates on the surface of the cell
30
What happens once C3b binds to Proteins and carbohydrates on the surface of the cell?
Factor B bind to it forming C3bB
31
How does factor B cleaved?
By factor D producing C3bBb
32
What is the C3 convertase of the alternative pathway?
C3bBb
33
What is the enzymatic pathway of lectin and classical pathway?
C4 is cleaved into C4a, C4b The C4b binds to the surface of the antigen C2 is cleaved , C2a binds to C4b formin the C3 convertase(C4bC2a)
34
What is the most abundant complement protien?
C3
35
Describe the enzymatic cascade of alternative pathway.
C3b is attached to the surface of the pathogen, factor B attached to C3b , factor D cleaves factor B ——> C3bBb “C3 convertase”
36
Describe the enzymatic cascade step 2 for lectin and classical pathway.
C3 is cleaved by C3 convertase( C4b2a) ——-> C4b2a3b “C5 convertase” then C5 is added and cleaved ——-> C5a C5b C3a
37
Describe the enzymatic cascade step 2 of the alternative pathway.
C3 is cleaved by C3 convertase( C3bBb) ——-> C3(b2)Bb “C5 convertase” then C5 is added and cleaved ——-> C5a C5b C3a
38
What are the biological effector activities result from complement cascade ?
Inflammation Phagocytosis Membrane attack
39
What are protiens resulted from complement cascade ?
C3a C5a C5b
40
What is the role of C3a and C5a in inflammatory?
They produce local inflammatory responce and bind to mast cells and endothelial cells
41
What cells do C3a and C5a bind to?
Mast and endothelial cells
42
What are complement protiens involved in inflammation?
C3a ,C5a
43
What is the function of releaes local inflammatory response produced by C3a ,C5a during inflammation?
They increase vascular permability They induce phagocytosis The induce releasing histamen and TNF- alpha leads to recruiting phagocytic cells , complement antibody
44
What does phagocytosis denpend on?
It depends on the recognition of complement components by complement receptors
45
What is the main opsonization protien?
C3b
46
What are complement receptors involved in phagocytosis?
CR1 CR3
47
What is the primary complement protien involved in forming membrane attack complex( MAC)?
C5b
48
What happens during MAC?
C5b bind to C6 C7 and the complex C5b67 binds to the cell surface through C7 then C8 ,C9 bind to the complex 10-15 molecules bind to the complex forming a pore in the pathogen membrane
49
Why regulating complement is important?
To avoid uncontrolled inflammation | To avoid vilneraibilty to infectious diseses
50
What are the types of regulation of complement?
Positive | Negative
51
What are positive regulation factors?
Factor P it Stabilise C3 convertase during alternative pathway
52
What is the role of factor P?
Stabilise C3 convertase during alternative pathway
53
List some negative regulation factors
``` FactorI Factor H C1 inhibitor C4binding protein “C4BP” Decay accelerating factor “DAF” ```
