Lecture 3: Innate Immune System Flashcards
Innate immunity is _____
The first line of defense and what people are born with
Innate immunity is _____
The first line of defense and what people are born with
How long does immediate innate immunity last?
0-4 hours
What are the steps
Infection > Recognition by preformed, non-specific and broadly specific effectors > removal of infectious agent
How long is early induced innate response?
4-96 hours
What are the steps of early induced innate response?
Infection > recruitment of effector cells > recognition of PAMPS, activation of effector cells, and inflammation > removal of infectious agent
When does adaptive immunity kick in?
After 96 hours
What are the lines of defense for adaptive response?
Infection > transport of antigen to lymphoid organs > recognition by naiive B and T cells > clonal expansion and differentiation to effector cells > removal of infectious agent
What does innate immunity constitute?
The first two phases of the response (tissues like the skin and mucosal surfaces
What kind of receptors does the innate immune system use?
Germ-line encoded receptors
What type of surfaces provide the first line of defense against infection?
Epithelial surfaces
What do keratinocytes produce?
beta-defensins and other microbicidal compounds in lamellar bodies and are secreted into extracellular spaces
What does the lung have that moves a stream of mucus up?
Cilia
What are intestinal cells called and what do they produce?
Paneth cells that produce alpha-defensins and other antimicrobial proteins
What do dendritic cells do along with macrophages?
they form a bridge between innate and adaptive immune responses
What are the granulocytes in the innate immunity?
neutrophil, eosinphils, basophils, and monocytes
What is in the adaptive immunity?
B cells and T cells
What do innate mechanisms defend against?
extra and intracellular pathogens
For interstitial spaces, blood, lymph, what are the protective immunity components?
Complement, Phagocytosis, Antibodies
For epithelial surfaces what are the protective immunity components?
Antimicrobial peptides, antibodies especially IgA
What are the two intracellular areas of pathogens?
Cytoplasmic and vesicular
What protective immunity is in the cytoplasmic area?
NK cells, cytotoxic T cells
What kind of protective immunity is in the vesicular area?
T-cell and NK-cell dependent macrophage activation
How do the extracellular areas clear up the pathogens?
They promote uptake and destruction by phagocytes
How are the intracellular pathogens killed?
- infected cell is attacked by NK cells (innate) or cytotoxic T cells (adaptive)
- Activation of macrophages by NK cells or T helper cells can induce macrophages to kill pathogens living within vesicles
What is an example of an autocrine effect?
The IFN producing cell depicts a cell induced to synthesize IFN in response to either virus infection or antigen or mitogen stimulation
What is an example of a paracrine effect?
IFN-regulated proteins that collectively constitute the antiviral response that is responsible for the inhibition of virus multiplication
Interferons induced by _________ make several contributions to _______
viral infection, host defense
What are the IFN induced proteins believed to affect virus multiplication within single cells:
PKR kinase, OAS synthetase, Mx protein, ADAR, and IFN-induced expression of MHC class 1 and 2 antigens and NOS.
PKR kinase inhibits ______ through the phosphorylation of __________
translation, protein synthesis initation factor elf2
OAS synthetase family and RNase L nuclease mediate _______
RNA degradation
What is the family of MX protein GTPases?
They appear to target viral nucleocapsids and inhibit RNA synthesis
IFN-induced expresssion of MHC class 1 and class II antigens and NOS may contribute to ______
the antiviral responses observed within whole animals
What is ADAR?
Edits double-stranded RNA by deamination of adenosine to yield inosine
IFN A and IFN B chart Step 1:
induce resistance to viral replication in all cells by inducing Mx proteins, 2 -5 linked adenosine oligmers, and the kinase PKR
IFN A and IFN B chart Step 2:
Increase MHC class 1 expression and antigen presentation in all cells
IFN A and IFN B chart Step 3:
Activate dendritic cells and macrophages
IFN A and IFN B chart Step 4:
Activate NK cells to kill virus-infected cells
