Innate Immunity Flashcards
TLR-1, TLR-2, TLR-6
bacterial lipopeptides
TLR-2
bacterial lipopeptides and peptidoglycan
TLR-4
LPS
TLR-5
bacterial flagellin
TLR-3
dsRNA
TLR-7
ssRNA
TLR-8
ssRNA
TLR-9
CpG DNA
NOD-1, NOD-2
recognizes bacterial peptidoglycan
activate NF kB
NLRP-3
recognizes microbial products
enhances productions of IL-1B
Inflammasome
NLRP-3 oligomerizes with caspase 1to form
activates caspase 1
active caspase 1
cleaves pro-IL-1B
inflammasome dysregulation causes
gout
auto-inflammatory syndromes
Lysozyme
degrades the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls
defensins and cathelicidans
leukocyte cytoplasmic granules containing cationic antimicrobial peptides
fuse with phagolysosome to disrupt the membrane functions of microorganisms
