host immune response Flashcards
N formyl methionyl-
mediate antimicrobial responses
Mannose receptors
initiate phagocytosis of microbes
Scavenger receptors
phagocytosis of cell debris
Cytokines-
proteins made by cells that mediate inflammation
Principal mediators of communication between cells of the immune response
cytokines
Chemokines-
cytokines that tell WBC to go from the blood to tissues
How Phagocytes degrade microbes:
Microbe binds to phagocyte
Phagocyte zips around microbe
Microbe ingested in phagosome
Phagolysosome- ROS and NO kill microbe in phagolysosome
NK cells-
nonspecific, kill virus and tumor cells, first responder
Neutrophils/PMN-
phagocytose organisms, cause tissue damage in inflammation, first responder
2 first responders
NK cells and PMN
Eosinophils-
parasites, allergic rxns in skin and airway
Macrophages-
Phagocytose and kill intracellular microbes
Kill infected or changed self cells
Help in tissue repair/wound healing
APC
Dendritic cells
process antigen and present it to T cells to initiate the adaptive immune response
links adaptive and innate immune system
dendritic cell
also make cytokines and phagocytose cells, but MAIN job is antigen presentation
dendritic cell
Innate immune response common to all pathogens (know):
Phagocytosis and killing of microbes
Antigen presentation
Cytokine production
TLR 2 and 4
extracellular/on cell surface; on all cells
TLR 9
intracellular
Adjiment-
enhance immune response by attaching to TLR and creating pathways in a vaccine
Dendritic cells are immature in periphery and mature once they get to the lymph node (know)
Dendritic cells become mature
Pick up an Ag which activates a TLR
Cytokines are made in the LN based on what TLR was activated
Chemokines are secreted into periphery to warn other cells
APC:
DC- mainly
Macrophages
B cells
endogenous Ag
Ag made in the body during normal metabolism or viral infection
NK cells important
Presented to APC by CD8+T cells
MHC class I
exogenous Ag
Ag enters the body from the environment Can be inhaled, ingested, or injected B cells and Ab are important Ag presented by APC to CD4 + T cells MHC class II
CD8+T cells are MHC I and recognize
cytosolic proteins such as viruses
CD4+T cells are MHC II and recognize
extracellular and intravesicular pathogens such as bacteria
