Immunity to Eukaryotic Pathogens Flashcards
PMNs important for
Asperigillus
Mucor
Candida
Macrophage important for
Pneumocystis, cryptococcus, blastomyces, histoplasma, aspergillus
Opsonic phagocytosis
Use complement or AB
Non-opsonic phago
B glucan receptors (dectin 1, pneumo, candidia, asperigllus, coccidiodes) Mannose receptor (Candida, coccidiodes, pneumo) and TLRs (TLR2,4 and cryptococus)
CD4s
Provide help to phagos and B cells..produce IFNgamma and TNFalpha
Th1 immunity
Histoplasma, cryptococcus, blastomyces, aspergillus
CD8
Histoplasma and blastomyces
Granuloma formation
Important with histoplasma and many fungi will produce DTH response
HUmoral immunity
Cryptococcus and pnuemo
Macrophages will produce
IL-10, 12, and 18 that help mature dendritic cell
Th1 produces
IFNgamma and TNFalpha to help activate macros
Th2 produce
IL4 and 5 impotant for B cell
Th17 produces
IL-17 important for neutrophil activation
Plasmodium dzs and principal immune mechs
Malaria
ABs and CD8s
Leishmania dzs and mechs
Leischmaniasis
CD4 Th1 cells help activate macros
