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
role of Th2
activate B cells to make antibodies, IL-4 and IL-4
with Listeriosis, TB, or Leprosy infection, what cells do you want to be activated?
Th1 cells - activate macrophages
Th1 and Th2 are CD___ cells
CD4
this molecule recruits macrophages to site of infection
CXCL2
this ligand and receptor activate macrophages
CD40 and INF-gammma
this ligand kills chronically infected macrophages
Fas ligand
cytotoxic T cells kill
infected cells (macrophages)
T cells can cause increased production of eosinophils, which contain
major basic protein to kill parasitic worms
involve in killing Plasmodia
IgM and IgM, complement
