IMMUNOLOGY 2 Flashcards
how do innate cells recognize pathogens
pathogen associated molecular pattern (PAMP) recognition
what are patterns
molecules shared by pathogens
what is rate of pattern recognition
fast
why is rate of pattern recognition fast
non specific
what part of innate cells recognize PAMPS
pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)
where in innate cells are PRRs localized
- cytosol
- plasma mem
- endosomes
what are examples of cytosolic PRRs
- NOD like
- RIG like
- cytosolic DNA sensor
what are examples of extracellular PRRs
- tool like
2. lectin
what examples of PRRs in endosomes
- tool like
what does each PRR recognize
- diff pattern
- diff pathogen
what happens when PRRs activated
intracellular cascade of events
what happens when TLR activated
transcription factors become activated
what 2 transcription factors are activated when TLR activated
- NF-kB
2. IRF (interferon regulatory factos)
what happens when NK-kB transcription factor activated
- increase expression of cytokines
- increase expression of adhesion molecules
- increase expression of co stimulators
what happens when IRF trasncription factor activated
- increase expression of type 1 interferon
what are 5 innate immunity effector mechanisms
- antimicrobial substances
- complement system activation
- phagocytosis
- inflammation
- NK cells
- ANTIMICROBIAL SUBSTANCES what are examples of antimicrobial substances
- lysosomes
- lactoferrin
- psoriasins
- ANTIMICROBIAL SUBSTANCES how do lysosomes act as antimicrobial substances
- break bonds bw peptidoglycan in bacterial cell wall
- inserts itself into PM
- causes osmotic imbalance in cell ==> causes cell lysis
- ANTIMICROBIAL SUBSTANCEShow does lactoferrin act as antimicrobial substance
- sequesters iron from enviro to prevent proliferation
- ANTIMICROBIAL SUBSTANCES how do psoriasins act as antimicrobial substance
- prevents E coli colonization
- ANTIMICROBIAL SUBSTANCEShow does saliva, tears, and urine act as microbial substances
flush pathogens
- ANTIMICROBIAL SUBSTANCES how does mucous act as antimicrobial substance
trap pathogens
- ANTIMICROBIAL SUBSTANCES how do digestive enzymes act as antimicrobial substances
give stomach acidic pH
COMPLEMENT SYSTEM what is complement system
group of protiens produced by liver
COMPLEMENT SYSTEM what immune response is complement system a part of
- innate
2. adaptive
COMPLEMENT SYSTEM what are 7 categories of proteins
- initiators
- convertase activators
- opsins
- anaphylatoxins
- membrane attack complexes
- complement recepotrs
- regulatory protiens
COMPLEMENT SYSTEM what is the function of initiators
initiate complement system cascade
COMPLEMENT SYSTEM what is the function of convertase activators
breaks down next complement protein in cascade to activate them
COMPLEMENT SYSTEM wha tis the function of opsins
bind ot pathogen
COMPLEMENT SYSTEM what are anaphylatoxins involved in
- WBC migration to site of infection during inflammation
2. WBC degranulation
COMPLEMENT SYSTEM what is the function of membrane attack complexed
cell death
COMPLEMENT SYSTEM what is the function of complement recepotrs
activate cells expressing complement protiens
