Innate Immunity Flashcards
Innate immunity
- Natural/inborn
- no lag period
- targets microbes (patterns)
- no memory (same response each time)
- self tolerant
Adaptive immunity
- acquired/adaptive
- a lag period
- targets antigens (identifies epitopes)
- develops memory
- self tolerant
What is innate immunity for
Structures shared by classes of microbes
What are the receptors that innate immunity likes
Toll-like receptors
Which type if immunity mutates a lot
Adaptive
Which immunity is a powerful early defense mechanism?
Innate immunity
Innate immunity barriers
- physical barriers
- cells
- chemical barriers
What do phagocytes do for innate
Target microbe structures
What may innate immunity be triggered by
Injured host cells
Anatomical and chemical barriers of innate
- mechanical
- chemical
- biological
Cellular components of innate
- neutrophils
- monocytes and macrophages (the presenting is NOT innate, just eating)
- NK cells
- Eosinophils
Plasma proteins involved with innate
Cytokines
Complement
Mechanism of skin in innate
Physical barrier
Mechanism of mucous in innate (chemical factor)
Low pH lysozyme (tears and saliva)
Mechanism of skin and mucous membrane (biological factor)
Produce antimicrobial substances that compete for nutrients and colonization
Function of neutrophil in innate
Phagocytosis and intracellular killing inflammation and debris meant
Function of monocyes (macrophages) in innate
Phagocytosis and intracellular killings, plus antigen presentation for specific immune response in adaptive
Function of NK cells in innate
Killing of virus infects and altered self targets
Function if eosinophils in innate
Killing of certain parasites and involved in allergies, reacts to IgG
Mast cells make
Histamine
