Innate Immunity Flashcards
IL1Beta
Pro inflammatory cytokine
Activates vascular endothelium
Activated by Caspase-1,as part of inflammasome
TNFAlpha
Pro inflammatory cytokine
Activates endothelium, vascular permeability
IL6
Pro inflammatory cytokine
Lymphocyte activation
IL8
Chemotactic cytokine
Recruit neutrophils
IL12
cytokine
Activate NK Cells
Cause differentiarion of T cells into Th1
TLR1,2,6
Toll like receptor
Cell wall components
TLR4
Toll like receptor
LPS
TLR5
Toll like receptor
Flagellin
TLR3 7,8,9
Toll like receptor
Detect nuclear components like virual or bacterial dna
DAMPs examples
DAMPs= Damage associated molecular protein
Nucleic acids
Histone proteins
Heat shock proteins
Soluble recognition molecules (PRMs)
Ante-antibodies
Pentraxins collectins ficolins
PMN vs APC
PMN =polymorphonuclear lymphocytes = Neutrophils, many but shortlived
Progessional APCs = longer lived, fewer
Emergency grandulopoeisis
Need many neutrophils for systemic infection
Rolling mechanism, and regularion
Selectins on epithelial cells bind to PSGL on neutrophils
Regulared by pentraxin-3 (PTX3)
Activation of neutrophils, and regulation
Neutrophils activated by chemokines
Reduced by GDF15, prevent LFA1 expression
