Innate Immunity Flashcards

1
Q

Innate immunity

A
  • Natural/inborn
  • no lag period
  • targets microbes (patterns)
  • no memory (same response each time)
  • self tolerant

Q

Adaptive immunity

A
  • acquired/adaptive
  • a lag period
  • targets antigens (identifies epitopes)
  • develops memory
  • self tolerant

Q

What are the most abundant WBC?

A

Neutrophils and leukocytes

22
Q

Other names for neutrophils

A

PMNs and SEGs

23
Q

What is first at the title of infection and injury

A

Neutrophils

24
Q

How do macrophages exist in blood

A

As monocytes

25
Q

Are there any macrophages in the blood?

A

No

26
Q

Where do monocytes become macrophages?

A

In tissues

27
Q

What do macrophages produce

A

Cytokines and chemokines

28
Q

Diapedisis

A

Moving though tissues

29
Q

Increase adhesion factor expression and act on hypothalamus (pyrogens)

A

IL-1

30
Q

Active process initiated by binding to pathogen, pathogen recognized, internalized, and digested

A

Phagocytosis

31
Q

Microbial molecular patterns recognition

A
  • Lipopolysaccharides (LPS/endotoxin)-shared by gram negative rods (TLR-4)
  • flagellin (TLR-3)
  • dsRNA-nucleic acid of select viruses (TLR-3)
32
Q

PAMPs vs PRRs

A
  • PAMPs (pathogen associated molecular patterns) are microbe associated
  • PRRs (pattern recognition receptors) are phagocyte associated
33
Q

Innate recognition of foreign invaders

!!!!!!!

A

PAMPs and PRRs are toll like receptors !!!!!!!!

34
Q

What is ultimately responsible for killing of microbes

A

ROS and NO

35
Q

What kills ingested bacteria

A

ROS and NO

36
Q

Phagocyte migration

A

Phagocytes home on scent of bacteria

-PMNs placed near bacteria charge out like a posse after bad guys

37
Q

After ingestion, macrophage kills the organism via

A

Oxidative burst

ROS and NO

38
Q

Mechanism of complement

A
  • lyse
  • inflammation
  • chemotaxis
  • opsonin
39
Q

Mechanism of lysozyme

A

Breaks down bacteria for iron

40
Q

Mechanism of cytokines

A

Various effects

41
Q

What are the two complement pathways that are innate

A
  • alternative pathway
  • lectin pathway

Innate, recognizes pathogen directly

42
Q

What is the complement pathways that is part of the adaptive immunity

A

-classical pathway

Acquired, requires antibodies

C3A and C5A cause inflammation and anaphylactic shock

43
Q

What do activated macrophages secrete

A

Proinflammatory cytokines

44
Q

What are two important proinflammatory cytokines

A

TNF-a and IL-6

45
Q

Local effect of TNF-a

A

Activates vasc endothelium; increases vascular permeability, leads to increased entry of IgG, complement and cells

46
Q

Systemic effect of TNF-a

A

Fever, mobilization of metabolites of shock

47
Q

IL-6 local effects

A

Lymphocytes activation, increased antibody production

48
Q

Systemic effects of IL-6

A

Fever, induces acute phase proteins from liver

49
Q

What is similar about IL-6 and TNF-a with their systemic effects?

A

Both induce fever

50
Q

What is different about TNF-a and IL-g in their systemic effects

A
  • TNF-a: mobilization of metabolites of shock

- IL-6 acute phase proteins from liver

51
Q

A blood bio maker of inflammation

A

CRP and ESR
