23
Q

What immune system would respond in the first few hours?

A
  • innate immune system

- non specific broad response that removes infectious agent

24
Q

What response would be from 4-96 hours?

A
  • early induced innate response.
25
Q

Early induced innate responde

A
  • recognition of microbial-associated molecular patterns
  • inflammation recruitment and activation of effector cells
  • removal of infectious agent
26
Q

what response would occur after 96 hours?

A

Adaptive immune response

27
Q

Adaptive immune response

A
  • Transport of antigen to lymphoid organs
  • Recognition by naive B and T cells
  • Clonal expansion and differentiation to effector cells
  • Removal of infectious agents
    (takes time to transport antigen to lymphoid and expand)
28
Q

Major cells of the innate immunity

A
  • Macrophage
  • Granulocytes (basophil, neutrophil, eosinophil, monocyte)
  • mast cells
  • Dendritic cells
  • Natural killer cells
29
Q

Adaptive immunity cells

A
  • B cell
  • T cell
  • NK cell
  • mature Dendritic cells
30
Q

Macrophage

A
  • Phagocytosis and activation of bactericidal mechanisms
  • Present in almost all tissues
  • most mature form of monocytes
  • general scavenger
  • orchestrate immune response and induce inflammation
  • secrete signaling proteins that activate other immune cells
  • number of receptors
31
Q

Macrohage receptors

A
  • binding of any one of receptors will activate macrophage to phagocytose
  • mannose, LPS, TLR-4, Scavenger, TLR-2 receptors
32
Q

neutrophils

A
  • Most numerous of the phagocytic cells
  • most important in innate immune response
  • Polymorphinucleus
33
Q

Eosinophils

A
  • killing of antibody-coated parasites
34
Q

Basophils

A
  • parasites

- unknown function

35
Q

Mast cells

A
  • contain histamine and other active agents

- Fluid/swelling @ site of infection

36
Q

Dendritic cells

A
  • Antigen uptake in peripheral sites
  • Antigen presentation
  • Transport cells through the lymph system
37
Q

Natural killer cells

A
  • non specific

- lytic granules that kill pathogens

38
Q

How does infection triggers an immune response?

A
  1. Bacteria trigger macrophages to release cytokines and chemokines
  2. Vasodilation and increased vascular permeability cause redness, heat, and swelling
  3. Inflammatory cells migrate into tissue, releasing inflammatory mediators that cause pain
39
Q

How do dendritic cells initiate adaptive immune responses?

A
  1. immature dendritic cells reside in peripheral tissues
  2. Dendritic cells uptake macrosome
  3. Dendritic cells transport via lymphatic vessels to lymph nodes
  4. Mature dendritic cells activate naive T cells in lymphoid organs such as lymph nodes
40
Q

Infection

A
  • infectious agents must overcome innate host defenses in order to establish an infection
  • infectious disease is generally quite infrequent
  • The epithelial surfaces (physical barrier) form the first barrier against most microorganisms and have rapid repair mechanisms if injured
41
Q

Routes of infection for pathogens

A
  • Airway (inhaled droplet or spore)
  • Gastrointestinal tract ( contaminated water or food)
  • Reproductive tract (physical contact)
42
Q

Coronavirus (COVID19)

A
  • liquid droplets in air

- can exist on surface for several days

43
Q

How does the coronavirus get into cells?

A
  • binds to human ACE2
44
Q

Innate immune system with covid

A
  • induces inflammatory response and fluid accumulation in the lungs
45
Q

External routes of infection for pathogens

A
  • External surface (physical contact)
  • Wounds and abrasions (cuts/punctures/ infected animals)
  • Insect bites (lyme disease/ticks)
46
Q

Physical barriers and mechanisms as first line of defense against infection

A
  • Mechanical
  • Chemical
  • Microbiological
47
Q

Bactericidal agents produced/released by phagocytes

A
  • Acidification (PH around 3.5 -4.0)
  • Toxic oxygen -derived products (oxygen radicals)
  • Toxic nitrogen oxides
  • Antimicrobial peptides ( defensins and cationic proteins)
  • Enzymes (lysozyme) & acid hydrolases
  • Competitors
48
Q

Gut mucosa barrier

A
  • rich in antimicrobial activity
49
Q

Goblet cells

A
  • produce gel forming muscin (epithelial layer)

- glycoproteins released

50
Q

Paneth cells

A
  • produce antimicrobial peptides, lectins, and cytokines
51
Q

inner mucus layer

A
  • relatively sterile
  • rich in antimicrobial molecules
  • thicker
52
Q

Outer mucus layer

A
  • non-sterline
  • bacterial pathogens can penetrate outer layer
  • degrading mucus
  • microbes utilize mucin carbohydrates for energy
53
Q

Large intestine

A
  • outer loose mucus layer (bacterial habitat)

- inner layer (intact dense mucus layer helps fight bacteria in GI tract) firmly attached

54
Q

small intestine

A

-loose mucus layer (not dense)

55
Q

complement

A
  • can be activated early in infection in the absence of antibodies
  • complement first evolved as part of the innate immune system, where it plays an important role in coating pathogens and facilitating their destruction
