Immune 2 Flashcards
@skin , Low molecular weight proteins in lung and
GIT having antimicrobial activity
,Granules in neutrophils are the richest
source which disrupt biological membranes.
Defensins
Acute phase protein where and when
Liver, 4-6h of infection or trauma
The most common opsonins are IgG, IgA and C3b in
Blood , mucosal surfaces , complement
APC triggers adaptive @epithelial tissue and lymph nodes
Dendritic cells
Professional phagocytes
DMMMN
The most potent chemotactic factors are the
C5a complement component.
require the production of
antibody in order to be effectively phagocytosed (Opsonisation)
Indirect binding: Encapsulated microorganisms
are a class of proteins that play a key role in the immune system by recognition of invading pathogens and activation of immune responses against them
Toll-like receptors
Macrophage, dendritic, epithelial cells
structures usually present on the surface of a bacterium, fungal cell,
parasite, or virus, are called———-The receptors that recognize PAMPs are called——-eg.——-
pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) ,pattern recognition receptors
(PRRs), Toll like receptors (TLRs)
Oxygen-independent intracellular: not effective as oxygen-dependent ones.
Four main types:
electrically charged proteins, lysozymes, lactoferrins, which are present in neutrophil granules and remove
essential iron from bacteria. proteases and hydrolytic enzymes
Coxiella burnetti
Survive in phagolysosome
HIV
Prevent phagosome-lysosome fusion
Shigella
Escape phagosome
S. pyogenes,
S. pneumoniae
Inhibit adherence: M protein, capsules
S.aureus
Kill phagocytes: Leukocidins
