B cells provides signal … for the activation of lyphocytes
1
what signals do innate molecules respond to?
2
What do IFN a/b trigger?
response to intracellular TLF signaling and other sensors of viral RNA
What does IFN a/b activate?
JAK STAT on neighboring uninfected cell, this produces expression of genes whose products interfere with viral replication
What is a plasma protine that microbial strucutes and particifpates in innate immunity?
pentraxin family
What are in the petraxin family?
c reactive protins CRP and serum amyloid P SAP
WHat is the results of IL6 and IL1 in the liver?
increased amounts of CRP and SAP
What does CRP and SAP do?
recognize phosphorylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, which are found on bacteria and apoptotic cells
What can CRP and SAM activate?
complement by bdinging C1q and intiating the classical pathway
complement pathways results in
complement proteins into protease complexes
What cleaves the centra protine of the complement system?
C3 convertase
C3 convertse cleaves C3 and makes
C3a and C3b
What does the C3b fragment become?
covalently attached to the microbial surface
What serves as an opsonin to promoe phagocytosis of the microbes?
C3b
What does the C3b fragment do?
stimulates inflammation by acting as a chemoattractant for neutrophils
