what are the 3 phases in immune responses to pathogens
-establishment of infection
usually it is innate, apc and pnm that will play a role
-induction of adaptive response
adaptive aka t and B cells, slower
-adaptive immune response
-immunological memory
true or false: pathogens have preferred routes of entry/sites of infection
true
what are the diverse immune mechanisms for dealing with a broad range of pathogens
-surveillance: using apcs
-self tolerance: minimizing responses to self
-effector: maximizing effector functions to deal with pathogens in fluids, tissues, vesicles
-memory: retaining a memory of that pathogen to respond more effectively next time
true or false: early immune response has no true antigen specificity
true
local infection penetration of epithelium: mechanism of protection
-wound healing induced antimicrobial proteins and peptides, phagocytes
-complement destroy invading microorganisms
-activation of beta and gamma cells
local infection of tissue: mechanism of protection
-complement activation
-dendritic cells migrate to lymph nodes
-phagocytes action
-nk cells activated
-cytokines and chemokines produced
true or false: myd88 pathway plays a role in the induction of il-12 and inf gamma
true
true or false: mice lacking myd88 still survive after infection
false they die
phases of immune response: immediate: barrier functions
skin epithelia
phases of immune response: immediate: responses to extracellular pathogens
-phagocytes
-complement pathway
phases of immune response: immediate: : responses to intracellular bacteria
macrophages
phases of immune response: immediate: responses to virus infected cells
nk cells
phases of immune response: early: barrier function
local inflammation
local tnf a
phases of immune response: early: : responses to extracellular pathogens
-mannan binding lectin
-c reactive proteim
-t independant b cell antibody
-complement
phases of immune response: immediate: : responses to intracellular bacteria
-activated nk cells
-il-1, 6, 12 and tnf a
phases of immune response: immediate: : responses to virus infected cells
inf a and b
il-12 activated nk cells
phases of immune responses: late: barrier functions
-iga antibodies
-ige
local inflammation
phases of immune response: late: : responses to extracellular pathogens
igg, igm
phases of immune response: late: : responses to intracellular bacteria
t cell activation of macrophages my inf gamma
phases of immune response: late: : responses to virus infected cells
cytotoxic t cells inf gamma
lymphatic spread: mechanism of protection:
-pathogens trapped and phagocytosed in lymphoid tissue
-adaptive immunity initiated by migration dcs
adaptive immunity: mechanisms of protection:
-infection cleared by antobody specific
-t cell dependent macrophage activation and cytotoxic t cells
How does the immune system adapt to
antigen challenge?
- A vast universe of distinct antigenic specificities.
- Highly specific recognition of foreign antigens with potent mechanisms
for pathogen elimination: potential for fine-tuning (speed, magnitude, affinity and efficiency). - The capacity to display immunological memory (i.e. re-infection)
- Tolerance to self-antigens.
true or false: only a small number of b and t cells are specific for the pathogen
true
what is the sollution for the body to have the t cells get to where it has to be because if a t cell specific for the flu is in a ln in the leg then you will be sick af
you have the T cells always surveing the body
true or false: the central lymphoid organs like the thymus and the bone marrow are connected to the lynphatics
false they are not, they are isolated from the environment
the lymph is filtrated byL
the lymph node before returning to the circulation
true or false: the spleen has no lymph circulation
true
how can naibe t cells enter the lymph node
through the afferent lymphatics or from the blood
endothelial cells are involved in:
-vasomotor tone
-vascular permeability
-regulation of coagulation
-immune modulation
-lymphocyte extravasation
what are the 2 types of venules
hev and poast capilarry venules
true or false: hev are constitutively present in primary lymphoid tissues
false: it is secondary tissues
true or false: hev’s need to allow egress of naive cells from the circulation
true
where are post capilarry venules present
non-lymphoid tissues
