Lecture 4 - Innate Immune Recognition Flashcards
what are the 3 different pathways of complement activation?
classical, alternative, lectin
Which key effector complement protein is generated by all 3 activation pathways?
c3 covertase
what is the role of the membrane attack complex?
create pores
In addition to MAC formation, name 2 other terminal outcomes of complement activation
1 - recruitment of inflammatory cells
2 - opsonization
name one clinical consequence of C3 deficiency in Brittany Spaniels
renal disease
What are Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs)
common features on pathogens that are absent in host tissues
How are PAMPs like Hogwarts houses
they are common traits like the defining factors of sorting (bravery, wisdom, etc.)
what PAMP does gram-negative bacteria have
a. peptidoglycans
b. lipopolysaccharide
c. dsRNA
d. mannan
b. lipopolysaccharide
what PAMP does gram-positive bacteria have
a. peptidoglycans
b. lipopolysaccharide
c. dsRNA
d. mannan
a. peptidoglycans
what PAMP do viruses have
a. peptidoglycans
b. lipopolysaccharide
c. dsRNA
d. mannan
c. dsRNA
What are the 3 types of signaling type PRRs
1 - Toll-like
2 - Nod-like
3 - RIG-1-like
which signaling PRR is found on the membrane
toll-like
what is the common product of all signaling PRR pathways
NF-kB
What is the result of PRR signaling
activation of transcription genes (adhesion, inflammation, etc.)
Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs)
plasma (4/5) recognizes wall components and the endosomal membrane recognizes DNA
what does TLR5 recognize
flagellin
where is TLR4 and TLR5 present? what is the clinical significance?
present on the basolateral surface, only bacteria that have bypassed the rest of the cell’s defenses should trigger
NOD-like receptors
within cytosol, recognizes peptidoglycan
RIG-1-like receptors
within cytosol, recognizes dsRNA and ssRNA, leads to expression of anti-viral responses
which of the following is NOT a characteristic of PAMPs
a. essential to microbes
b. common in microbes
c. abundantly produced
d. present in host tissues
d. present in host tissues
viruses in endosomes are recognized by
TLRs
what do the signaling PRRs all have in common
a. location
b. cell type
c. activation of NF-kB
d. what they recognize
c. activation of NF-kB
