Immunology Flashcards
What phagocytes cells circulate
Neutrophils and monocytes
What phagocytes are in tissues
Macrophages and langerhans
What are the dominant cells of destruction of microbes and other offending agents
Macrophages
Dendrite
In epithelial, lymphoid organs and most tissues
Capture protein antigens and display peptides for T cells
*stimulate secretion of cytokines and involved in the initiation of innate immune responses
Nk cell
Early protections gainst viruses and intracellular bacteria
Plasma proteins
Complement
Mannose binding lectin CRP that coat microbes OPSONINS
Lung surfactant to provide protection against inhaled microbes
PRR (pattern recognition receptor)
Recognize aspects of microbes or DAMP
Damp
Damage associated molecular pattern released by dying or damaged cells
Danger signals/alarmin
Where are PRR
Plasma membrane for extracellular
Endosomes for digested
Cytosolic for cytoplasm
What are the four innate immune receptors
TLR(plasma membrane and endosomes vesicles), NOD like(cytosolic), C type lectin receptors, and RIG like receptors
TLR activation from microbial products
Activate transcription factors-
NF-KB and interferon regulatory factors
NFKB-stimulates synthesis and secretion of cytokines and adhesion molecules for recruitment and activation of leukocytes.
IRF-antiviral cytokines -type 1 interferons
If TLR lost
Serious immunodeficiency problems
NOD-like receptors (NLRs) when bind products of necrotic cells like uric acid and ATP, ion disturbances like k loss and some microbial products
Inflammasome which activates caspase 1 that cleaves a precursor form of il1 into its active form
Gain of function NLR
Periodic fever syndrome called autoinflammatory syndrome which is treated by an il1 antagnoist
NLR in gout
NLR inflammasome pathway plays a role int he innate immune system recognition of urate crystals and promoting the inflammation associated with gout.
Inflammasome pathway
Protein complex that recognizes products of dead cells and some microbes and induces the secreiton of biologically activated IL-1
NLR activates inflammasome which activates caspase 1 which cleaves pro-I1b into il-1B for it to be secreted from the cell
NLPR3
Sensor protein leucine rich
C type lectin receptors
Expressed not he plasma membrane of macrophages and dendritic cells
Detect fungal glucan and elicit inflammatory reactions to fungi
Rig like receptors
Cytosolic detect nuclei acids of viruses that replicate int he cytosolic of infected cells
Stimulate production of antiviral cytokines
Intracellular nuclei acids (viral RNA)
Gpcr
Neutrophils, macrophages, and msot leukocytes
Recognize bacterial peptides containing n-formylmethionyl (prokaryotes and mitochondria)
Mannose receptors
Recognize microbial sugars with terminal mannose residues and induce microbial phagocytes
Mannose is bacterial cell well constituent)
Type 1 interferons
Activate enzymes that degrade viral nuclei acids and inhibit viral replication to induce antiviral state
When does lymphocyte become not naive
When find antigen
How get lymphocyte diversity
Somatic recombination of genes hat encode the receptor proteins in thymus for T cells and bone marrow for B cells
