Q

Describe The three lines of host defenses

A

First line-surface protection by barriers. Could be physical chemical or genetic components.
Second line-Cellular and chemical system that immediately comes into play. Phagocytes inflammation fever cytokines
Third line- specific host defenses that must be developed uniquely for each micro through the action of specialized white blood cells (adaptive and specific) includes B cells and T cells

23
Q

Soluble proteins or glycoproteins released by one cell population that acts as an inter-cellular mediator or intercellular signaling molecules. Chemical messengers

A

Cytokines

24
Q

Three groups of cytokines

A

Innate resistance: -interleukins -interferons(alpha and beta/antiviral) gamma -tumor necrosis factors

Adaptive immunity: -interleukins (gamma) enhancing phagocytes, and cytolytic functions, activation of NK cells -Interferons

Hematopoiesis: -interleukins -colony stimulating factors (role in differentiation in maturation of various blood cells from the hematopoietic stem cells)

25
Q

What induces the production of cytokines?

A

Non-specific stimuli. Infections, inflammation or T cell antigen interaction

26
Q

What are the biological effects of cytokines?

A

To bind to specific receptors on various target cells to induce a wide variety of different activities. Differentiation, proliferation, or apoptosis

27

Granuloma

41
Q

How is complement activated?

A

Enzymatic cleavage in a cascade fashion

42
Q

Complement pathway..
Binding to the surface of the antigen. Not as quick, produces blank products that are involved in oxidation and he Metaxa‘s in formation of membrane attack complex

A

Classical pathway

43
Q

Complement pathway..

D, B, P binding to the surface of the pathogen. Nonspecific defenses against bacteria and fungi

A

Alternate pathway

44
Q

Complement pathway…

Lectins in the blood binding to Morrows on the surface of the pathogen. Leads to activation of the compliment cascade

A

Lectin pathway

45
Q

__________- This is like putting a bull’s-eye on the pathogen it will enhance phagocytosis

Inflammation- mediated C3A, C5A

Formation of MAC

A

Opsonazation

Threefold complements of cascade

A

Pyrogens
