Innate Immunity Flashcards
Number of toll like receptors
10
List stages of phagocytosis
ligand binding, engulfment, phagosome formation, lysosome fusion, membrance disruption/fusion, presentation of MHC CLass II
MHC
Major Histine Compatiability
3 things the innate immune response recognizes
PAMPS
DAMPS
absence of self markers - via NK
Name 2 small antimicrobial peptides
Defensins and cathelicidins
2 main classes of defensins
alpha and beta
describe alpha defensins
29-35 aa long
mainly in PMN and Paneth cells of small intestine
e.g. HNP 1-4 and HD 5-6
These defensins are secreted by mucosal surface epitherlia
beta
HBD - human beta defensins
2 things that bind to TLRs
PAMPs
DAMPs
Name some PAMPS
LPS, PGN, lipopeptids, flagellin, bacterial DNA and viral dsDNA
Stimulation of TLR activates these cells which result in IFNS, cytokines and chemokines
AP-1, NF-kappaB and interferon regulatory factors
most important transcription factor in immune system
nNF-kappaB
Only TLR that does not use MyD88
TLR3
TLR which makes which pathways?
?
TLR are known as these alternate names
CD281, 282 etc
TLR7 works well against
viruses - ssRNA
Activation of NF-kappaB causes these response
Expression of proinflamatory genes
Increased phagocytosis and ROS and NOS
Increased efficency of antigen presentation
3 pathways of complement activation
classical - adaptive
lectin - innate
alternative - innate
Part of classical pathway complement that binds to antigen:antibody complex
C1q
Macrophages perfer a macrophage is bound to these 2 things
antibody and C3
