Immunity to Microorganisms Flashcards
most bacteria die
inside phagocyte
macrophages recognize ______; NK cells recognize _____
- m: cell-surface carbs of bacteria
- NK: changes on surface of human cells due to viral inf
antiphacgocytic capsule of S. pneumonia, protein A of S. aureus, protein M, attachment to epithelium of resp or dig tract
virulence factors
Protein A
virluence factor, blocks opsonizing action of IgG
primary adaptive immune response is
antibody
IgA prevents
attachment of antigen to epithelium
advantages of opsonization
- taken up better
- killed more quickly
macrophages perform ____ to internalize pathogens
receptor mediated endocytosis
orgs that can survive in (unactivated) phagosome
facultative intracellular parasites
macrophages activation is a result of
T cell response
what kind of immunity can serum transfer
humoral (antibodies)
-NOT cell mediated
Listeriosis (Listeria monocytogenes), TB (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), and Leprosy/Hansen’s Disease (Mycobacterium leprae) are all killed by
activated macrophages
macrophage is activated by
Th1 cell
Th1 cell activates
macrophage
role of Th1
macrophage activation, produce opsonizing antibodies, IL-2 and IFN-gamma
