Q

NF-kB

A

Transcription factor
Nuclear factor kappa beta
acute inflammation, stimulate adaptive immunity

20
Q

IRF

A

interferon response factor
Transcription factor
Expression of type 1 interferon –> antiviral state

21
Q

Interferon Type 1 (IFN alpha, IFN beta)

A

Alpha, beta –> anti viral defense
Important for non-immune cells
Viruses initiate disease by infection of epithelial cells

22
Q

Interferon Type 2 (IFN gamma)

A
Gamma --> activate macrophages, DC, NK cells --> kill intra-cellular pathogens 
Inhibit viral replication
Increases MHC class 1 expression
23
Q

Interleukins (IL1 …IL -n)

A

Innate inflammation

Adaptive T helper cell mediation

24
Q

Chemokines (CXCL, CR …etc)

A

Recruit immune cells to site of inflammation

Influence homing of lymphocytes to secondary lymphoid tissues

25
Q

List the pro-inflammatory cytokines

A

TNF-alpha
IL-1
IL-6
IL-8 (CXCL 8)

26

A

IL-2
IL-4
IL-5
IFN gamma

27
Q

Major cytokines responsible for local inflammation and systemic protective effects

A

IL-1
IL-6
TNF
Increased permeability, fever, change in protein production pattern, increased leukocyte production

28
Q

Loose adhesion of leukocytes to endothelium to site of infection

A

E selectin on endothelial cells

S lex on immune cell

29
Q

Tight adhesion of leukocytes to endothelium to site of infection

A

Integrins on immune cell binds to ICAMs (Intracellular adhesion molecules) on endothelial cell
–> CXCL8 expressed on endothelial cells binds receptors on immune cell
