IHO Week 1 Diebel Flashcards
Major Functions of Innate Immunity
- Complement activation 2. Inflammation 3. Cell activation (cytokine and chemokine production, phagocytosis and other killing microbes) 4. priming of the adaptive immune response
3 Things Recognized by the Innate Immune System
- Foreign molecular structures called PAMPs 2. stress or damage indicators aka DAMPs 3. absence of certain ‘self’ MHC1marker molecules by NK cells
PRRs
pattern recognition receptors; 13 TLRs are included in this
PRRs that recognize PAMPs do not activate phagocytosis and do trigger cell signaling leading to gene transcription events to foreign material
TLRs
C-Type Lectin Receptors
Mannose, Dectin 1, DC-SIGN
Scavenger Receptors
SR-A and SR-B
Steps Phagocytosis
- bacterium attaches to membrane and evaginations called pseudopodia 2. ingested to form phagosome 3. fuses with lysosome 4. bacterium is killed and digested by lysosomal enzymes 5. digestion products released from cell
Phagocytosis Oxidative Attack from:
Reactive Oxygen Species (O2, OH, H2O2, HClO) and Reactive Nitrogen Species (NO, NO2, ONOO-)
Alternative Pathway to activate the complement system
innate immune defense strategy which results in opsonization and facilitated uptake of the coated microorganism by phagocytosis
Classical Pathway to Activated by
Antibodies or mannose binding lectin
Complement activation is a cascade reaction leads to:
opsonization, chemotaxis of phagocytes, increased blood flow, increased permeability, damage to plasma membranes on cells, G(-) bacteria, enveloped viruses, and other organisms, release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells
Classical Pathway (Adaptive Immunity) direct destruction
- C1q binds to antigen: antibody complex; cleaves and activates downstream complement components 2. C5b binds to the membrane associated with the antigen:antibody complex which leads to the formation of the membrane attack complex
Lectin Pathway (Innate Immunity) direct destruction
- Mannose binding protein bound to bacterial carbohydrates mimics C1q -> cleavage and activation of downstream complement components 2. C5b binds to the membrane to form attack complex
Alternative Pathway (Innate Immunity)
C3 is spontaneously cleaved or cleaved by C3b by serum proteases activated by bacteria; C3b binds to bacterial and yeast cell walls and viral envelopes; bound C3b leads to the downstream activation of the complement components
A Components-C3a, C4a and C5a action
-chemotactic factors that direct migration of/degranulation of PMNs and macrophages and degranulate mast cells and basophils to large amounts of histamine
Potency of A Complement Components
C5a»C3a»C4a
What complement deposits on any surface with an exposed amine or hydroxyl ie bacteria cell
C3b and C4b
What complement acts as opsonins and further cleaves C3 to ramp up signaling at the surface
C3b and C4b
What are inactivated when bound to host cells by decay accelerating factor
C3b and C4b
What complement binds to microorganisms or host body cells
C5b
What complement acts as a focal point for the deposition of the membrane attack complex?
C5b
What complement associated with CD59 protectin and homologous restriction factor to prevent formation of membrane attack complex
C5b
