  • Dendritic cells
  • Mast cells
  • Eosinophils
25
Q

  • eosinophils
  • basophils
29
Q

What TLRs are expressed on many innate cells as well as on B cells

A

TLR7 and TLR9

30
Q

Explain TLR4 LPS signaling in Macrophages

A
  • A complex of TLR4, MD2, CD14 and LPS is assembled at the macrophage surface
  • MyD88 binds TLR4 and activates IRAK4 to phosphorylate TRAF6, which leads to the posphorylation and activation of IKK
  • IKK phosphorylates IkB, leading to its degradation and the release of NFkB, which enters the nucleus
  • NFkB activates transcription of genes for inflammatory cytokines, which are synthesized in the cytoplasm and secreted via the ER
31
Q

When do macrophages arrive at inflammatory site

32
Q

IL-12 (IL-12R) is a heterodimer composed of beta1 and beta2 subunits, both of which are members of the type ____ cytokine receptor family

A

33
Q

_______ is a protein that is passively released during necrosis and uses the RAGE receptor to activate NF-kB pathway

A

Q

HMGB1, HSPs, and Uric acid are all examples of ____ thst can acivate NF-kB pathway

35
Q

A
  • Scaffolding proteins
  • Inflammatory caspases
36
Q

NLRs respod ot cytosolic PAMPs and DAMPs by binding other proteins and forming signaling complexes called ______. By recruitment to the complex, ________ activate the enzyme caspase-1 (a protease with cystein residue in the active site), which main function is

A

  • inflammasomes
  • Caspase-1 main function is to cleave the inactive cytoplasmic precursor forms of two homologous cyokines called IL-1ß and IL-18 (proinflammatory cytokines)
37
