What are defensins produced by?

A

neutrophils, lymphocytes, paneth cells, epithelial cells and keratinocytes

42
Q

PAMPs

A

Pathogen-associated Molecular Patterns

recognition of microbes

43
Q

Where PAMPs found

A

on molecules and structures on a variety of microbes but not self molecules. MAIs and Danger Signal

44
Q

structures microbes need to survive and infect

A

LPS(OPS), mannose residues, dsRNA

45
Q

What are DAMPs

A

Damage associated Molecular Patterns.

recognize necrosis

46
Q

What is an example of a DAMP

A

47
Q

What do DAMPs cause

A

TLR signaling through NF-kB activation

48
Q

Increased levels of DAMPs have been assoc with what type of disease?

A

macrophages

resistance to phagocytosis, resitance to ROS in phagocytes, resistance to complement activation, resistance to antimicrobial peptide antibiotics

64
Q

3 key parts to acute inflammatory response

A

vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, emigration of leukocytes from bottom into the damaged area

65
Q

A

Histamine, bradykinin, C5a, leukotriene-B4, f-met-leu-phe, platelet-activating factor

66
Q

What proteins are involved in inflammatory exudate (edema)

A

clotting proteins, fibrinolytic protein, complement system, kinin cascade

67
Q

what is the kinin cascade in Edema

A

vasodilation, increase permeability of blood vessels and stimulates pain receptors

68
Q

What molecules increase expression of P and E selectins

A

IL1 and TNF

69
Q

how to P and E selectine recruit leukocytes

A

leukocytes bind, dettach and roll until they are slowed down and can react to chemokines. Reaction involves flattening and entering endothelium.

70
Q

What receptor stops neutrophils from rolling away

A

ICAM1

71
Q

What receptor stops macrophages from rolling away

A

VCAM1

72
Q

3 possible outcomes of capillary damage

A

Chronic inflammation, fibrosis or resolution

73
Q

Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency LAD

A

Leukocytes cannot leave the vasculature to migrate to tissues during inflammation/infection

74
Q

b2 chains of integrins or CD18 deficiency

A

LAD1 because little to no surface membrane expression of LFA1, Mac1 or gp150/95

75
Q
