Q

What do M2 M0s secrete?

A

IL10 and TGFbeta

24
Q

M2 utilize arginine to produce?

A

ornithine then citruline

25
M2 appear later during infection. What do they do?
key role in wound healing and important effectors during parasitic infections
26
What signals M1?
IFNgamma
27
What signals M2?
IL4&13
28
How do mycobacterium Bovis and Brucells suis work against M0?
suppress M1 and promote M2 M0 differentiation facilitating their survival
29
M2 M0 producing what is associated with persistent bacterial infection and chronic disease?
IL10
30
How do M0 act as regulatory cells?
antigen presenting ability, phagocytize apoptotic N, secrete cytokines and enzymes promoting tissue remodeling and repair, secrete regulatory cytokines to stimulate acute phase responses and steer the acquired immune response
31
What cells are involved in steering the acquired immune response?
Th1, Th2, Th17, regulatory T-cells
32
What components are involved in Th1 cell steering??
IL12, IL18
33
What components are involved in Th2 cell steering?
IL1, IL6, IL10, IL13
34
What components are involved in Th17 cell steering?
TNFalpha, IL6, IL23
35
What components are involved in regulatory T-cell steering?
TGFbeta and IL10
36
M0 can become activate by? What do they differentiate into?
PAMPS and alarmins and differentiate into M1
37
What do M1 secrete when activated by PAMPS and alarmins?
IL12 and TNFalpha
38
What do IL12 and INFalpha activate?
NK cells
39
What do NK cells do?
secrete IFNgamma
40
What does IFNgamma do?
induce NOS2 gene transcription
41
What cells remove particles that have penetrated skin and what do they do with them?
Langerhans cells then migrate to draining lymph nodes and act as APCs interacting with T-cells
42
In species without lymph nodes how to cells remove particles?
Same cells but migriate to drainage lymph nodules or clear particles circulation with interaction with T-cells in secondary lymphoid tissues
43
What consists of secondary lymphoid tissues?
Spleen, pronephros (in fish), bursa (birds)
44
What is involved in the removal of ingested particles?
GI tract enzymes degrade most particles and the rest is removed by mucus flow
45
What is the function of M cells in the GIT?
sample particles on intestinal lumen and pass to M0 that travel to intestinal Peyer's patches and/or mesenteric lymph nodes to interact with T cells for antigen presenting
46
What is involved in the removal of inhaled particles?
most stick to the mucus in the bronchi and bronchies and are pushed out
47
What happens to particles small enough to reach the alveoli?
they are phagocytized by alveolar M0 and removed by mucus flow
48
How do pigs, ruminants and horses remove circulating particles?
removed my M0 lining capillary epithelium of the lung
49
How do humans, rabbits and mice remove circulating particles?
via hepatic Kupffer cells and splenic M0
50
What occurs in the human liver to remove particles?
K-cell trap the pathogen then attract N to phagocytize and destroy them. Then there is phagocytic removal of the dying N by the K-cell
51
What makes the best opsonins and why?
Antibodies because they are antigen specific
52
K-cells rely heavily on what type of opsinization?
C3 via CD35
53
What do M1 differentiate into for healing?
M2
54
What is the function of TGFbeta?
promotes fibroblast division and enhances deposition of fibroblast proteins such as fibronectin (scaffold for ECM)
55
True or false - M2 M0s secrete angiogenic factors
true
56
When does the host inflammatory response become chronic?
when foreign particles persist for a long time or a pathogen remains elusive
57
Granulomas contain what?
M0 which form into giant cells to restrict spread of the pathogen or particle
