Q

What is the MyD88 dependent pathway?

A

MyD88 is used as the adaptor protein that triggers NFkB pathway which makes inflammatory cytokines (IL-1/IL-6/TNFalpha)

Q

What is the MyD88 independent pathway?

Q

What can recognize cytoplasmic DNA?

A

(cGAS) Cyclic gMP-AMP synthase

17
Q

True or false: Macrophages can make cytokines and chemokines

A

True

18
Q

What are the 4 ways that cytokines/chemokines alarm?

A
  1. MBP and CRP opsonize pathogens and activate complement through Lectin & Classical pathway
  2. Activate more immune cells –>IFN alpha & beta (interferons make resistance to viral replication/activate NK cells/alert non-infected cells)
  3. Recruit other cells (chemokines)–>provide directional signals for leukocytes to site of infection
  4. Systemic effects
19
Q

What is TNFalpha?

A

Increases vascular permeability
-prevents pathogens from entering the blood through platelet activating factor
-TOO MUCH LEADS TO SEPTIC SHOCK/SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATION

20
Q

What are the 2 ways that innate system destroys microbes/infected cells?

A
  1. Phagocytosis
  2. Cytotoxicity
21
Q

What 2 front line defenders are used in phagocytosis?

A
  1. Neutrophils
  2. Macrophages
22
Q

What frontline defender is used in cytotoxicity?

A

Natural killer cells

23
Q

True or false: Natural killer cells are always ready to kill but their effector function is decreased when stimulated with cytokines

A

False
Their effector functions are increased 20-100 fold when stimulated with cytokines

24
Q

How do NK cells recognize and kill virally infected cells?

A

By using Inhibitory and Activating receptors
1. Inhibitory receptors tell them NOT to kill a target cell (negative signal)–>has MHC I
2. Activating receptors tell them to KILL a target cell (positive signal)–>no MHC I

25
Q

What is the defense mechanism for Extracellular (interstitial spaces blood, lymph)

A
  1. Complement
  2. Macrophages
  3. Neutrophils
26
Q

What is the defense mechanism for Extracellular epithelial surfaces

A

Antimicrobial peptides

27
Q

What is the defense mechanism for Intracellular cytoplasmic infections?

A

Natural Killer Cells (NK)

28
Q

What is the defense mechanism for Intracellular vesicular infections?

A

Activated macrophages

29
Q

What kind of PRRs are used for EXTRACELLULAR infections?

A

TLR4 &TLR5

30
Q

What kind of PRRs are used for INTRACELLULAR CYTOPLASMIC infections?

A

1.RIG-I
2.cGAS
3.Nod2

31
Q

What kind of PRRs are used for INTRACELLULAR VESICULAR infections?

A

TLR3,7,&9

32
Q

What does the CARD-family sensors (RIG-I) recognize?

A

double stranded RNA viral infection

33
Q

Which TLR only uses TRIF?

A

TLR3

34
Q

What does TLR 3 recognize

A

dsRNA

35
Q

What does TLR 4 recognize

A

LPS (lipopolysaccharide)

36
Q

What does TLR 5 recognize

A

Flagella

37
Q

What does TLR 7 recognize

A

ssRNA

38
Q

What does TLR 9 recognize

A

CpG DNA

39
Q

How do natural killer cells recogonize and kill virally infected cells?

A
  1. Inhibitory receptors–>bind to MHC class 1–>cells with MHC class 1 sends a (-) signal & cell is not killed
  2. Activating receptors–>cells w/ no MHC class 1 b/c virus overtook–>send (+) signal–>cell is killed
