Lecture 2 Flashcards
LO: Identify the physical and chemical barriers that protect from microbial infection
Skin, Mucus Membranes
Examples of mucosal/glandular secretions
Lysozyme and Lactoferrin
= innate immune receptors can bind to microbe and alert the body to microbe’s presence
Pathogen Recognition Receptors (PRR)
What do PRR bind to
conserved microbial components or pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)
What recognizes many types of pathogen molecules and are sometimes expressed on the cell surface to detect extracellular microbes
Toll Like Receptors (TLRs)
Binding of microbial PAMPs to TLRs triggers cell signaling leading to production of :
tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and** IL-6 **to promote inflammation
this recognizes viral RNA triggering release of type 1 interferons
RIG-I-like receptors
recognizes bacterial cell wall components (peptidoglycan) triggering release of IL-1 and IL-18
NOD-like receptors
What do Type 1 interferons BLOCK
Viral Replication
What do antimicrobial peptides LYSE
Bacteria
____ = activate endothelial cells for immune cell adhesion and stimulate immune reactivity of responding cells
Cytokines
What recruits activated immune cells to site of infection
Chemokines
What digest engulded microbes within phagocytes
Enzymes
How to monocytes become activated
Microbial contact or cytokine exposure
Microbial activation of macrophages leads to **M1 polarization **resulting in production of
IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-alpha to promote inflammation
