25
inhibitory R of NK cells

How do NK cells get into cell to cause apoptosis
granzymes then perforins
27
What receptors are constitutively active on NK surface
activating and inhibitory
28
Two types of Mast cells
tissue and mucosal
29
What stimulates mast cells
direct injury, chemical alcohols, and certain antibiotics, cross linking of IgE R or by activated complement proteins
30
What is in the immediate release of mast cell granules
histamine, protesases, heparin, TNF
31
What is made in membrane derived lipid mediators over minutes in mast cells
PGs, leukotrienes,platelet activation factor(PAF)
32
what cytokines are produced in mast cells
IL- 1 IL3 IL4 IL5 IL6 IL8 and TNF
33
What causes the differentiation of eosinophils
IL5
34
What was the original purpose of eosinophils
multicellular parasites, now do everythign
35
Dendritic cells (APC)
pick up antigen for processing, long dendritic processes. bridge between innate and adaptive
36
2 types of APCs
conventional and plasmacytoid
37
Fucntions of epithelia
physical and chemical barrier, normal flora, specialized lymphocytes
38
functions of mucosal surfaces
removal of particles, rapid pH buffer, mucus/secretions, cilia, normal flora
39
Defensins characteristics
tiny aa sequences. + charged. widely distributed. B sheets and 6 di-S bonds
40
Defensins antimicrobial activities
Gram - and + bacteria, fungi(yeasts), parasites, viruses
41
What are defensins produced by?
neutrophils, lymphocytes, paneth cells, epithelial cells and keratinocytes
42
PAMPs
Pathogen-associated Molecular Patterns | recognition of microbes
43
Where PAMPs found
on molecules and structures on a variety of microbes but not self molecules. MAIs and Danger Signal
44
structures microbes need to survive and infect
LPS(OPS), mannose residues, dsRNA
45
What are DAMPs
Damage associated Molecular Patterns. | recognize necrosis
46
What is an example of a DAMP
Alamins
47
What do DAMPs cause
TLR signaling through NF-kB activation
48
Increased levels of DAMPs have been assoc with what type of disease?
inflammatory diseases like sepsis, arthritis, atherosclerosis, lupus, crohn's, cancer
49
How do we recognize PAMPs and DAMPs? Where are these R encoded?
Pattern Recognition Receptors- germline encoded
50
What are the signaling pathways of TLRs
NFkB, AP1 IRF3 IRF5
51
What genes do TLRs upregulate
TNF, IL1b IL6 IL8 and IL12 and e selectin
52
What is the net result of activated TLR
increase in microbial activity and apoptosis, production of defensins, expression of co-stimulatory molecules
53
What are NOD Receptors and what do they bind to
Intracellular TLRs, recognize PAMPs no viruses and some bacteria
54
What is the general cascade of tLR
recruitment of adaptor proteins->recruitment and activation of protein kinases-> activation of transcription factors-> gene transcription and then expression of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, e selectin etc
55
What cytokines are major pyrogens
TNF and IL1
56
primary role of chemokines
increase integrin affinity and chemotaxis
57
Where is IL12 produced and what does it cause
produced in dendritic cells and macrophages to act on NK and T cells to increase IFNgamma production. cause T cells to differentiate into T helper cells
58
Type I IFNs where are they found. and what do they do
``` alpha:dendritic and macrophages. beta:fibroblasts Causes all cells to increase class I MHC expression and activates NK ```
59
Where is IL10 made what what are its affects
``` macrophages, dendritic cells, T cells inhibits IL12 production and reduces expression of class II MHC molecules ```
60
What does IL6 do and where is it produced
causes liver to produce acute phase proteins. causes B cells to create many ab made in macrophages endothelial cells and T cells
61
What does IL 15 do and where is it produced
causes proliferation of NK and T cells, produced by macrophages
62
Where is IL18 produced and what effect does it have
macrophages | targets: NK cells and T cells and IFNgamma production
63
What are the mechanisms of immune evasion
resistance to phagocytosis, resitance to ROS in phagocytes, resistance to complement activation, resistance to antimicrobial peptide antibiotics
64
3 key parts to acute inflammatory response
vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, emigration of leukocytes from bottom into the damaged area
65
what signaling molecules increase permeability
Histamine, bradykinin, C5a, leukotriene-B4, f-met-leu-phe, platelet-activating factor
66
What proteins are involved in inflammatory exudate (edema)
clotting proteins, fibrinolytic protein, complement system, kinin cascade
67
what is the kinin cascade in Edema
vasodilation, increase permeability of blood vessels and stimulates pain receptors
68
What molecules increase expression of P and E selectins
IL1 and TNF
69
how to P and E selectine recruit leukocytes
leukocytes bind, dettach and roll until they are slowed down and can react to chemokines. Reaction involves flattening and entering endothelium.
70
What receptor stops neutrophils from rolling away
ICAM1
71
What receptor stops macrophages from rolling away
VCAM1
72
3 possible outcomes of capillary damage
Chronic inflammation, fibrosis or resolution
73
Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency LAD
Leukocytes cannot leave the vasculature to migrate to tissues during inflammation/infection
74
b2 chains of integrins or CD18 deficiency
LAD1 because little to no surface membrane expression of LFA1, Mac1 or gp150/95
75
what is the inheritance mode of LAD 1
autosomal recessive
76
Clinical presentation of LAD 1
delayed separation of the umbilical cord and omphalitis recurrent bacterial infections of skin and mucosa leukocytosis periodontitis impaired wound healing absent pus formation
