Q

What do M2 M0s secrete?

A

IL10 and TGFbeta

24
Q

M2 utilize arginine to produce?

A

ornithine then citruline

25
Q

M2 appear later during infection. What do they do?

A

key role in wound healing and important effectors during parasitic infections

26
Q

What signals M1?

A

IFNgamma

27
Q

What signals M2?

A

IL4&13

28
Q

How do mycobacterium Bovis and Brucells suis work against M0?

A

suppress M1 and promote M2 M0 differentiation facilitating their survival

29
Q

M2 M0 producing what is associated with persistent bacterial infection and chronic disease?

A

IL10

30
Q

How do M0 act as regulatory cells?

A

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
Q

What cells are involved in steering the acquired immune response?

A

Th1, Th2, Th17, regulatory T-cells

32
Q

What components are involved in Th1 cell steering??

A

IL12, IL18

33
Q

What components are involved in Th2 cell steering?

A

IL1, IL6, IL10, IL13

34
Q

What components are involved in Th17 cell steering?

A

TNFalpha, IL6, IL23

35
Q

What components are involved in regulatory T-cell steering?

A

TGFbeta and IL10

36
Q

M0 can become activate by? What do they differentiate into?

A

PAMPS and alarmins and differentiate into M1

37
Q

What do M1 secrete when activated by PAMPS and alarmins?

A

IL12 and TNFalpha

38
Q

What do IL12 and INFalpha activate?

A

NK cells

39
Q

What do NK cells do?

A

secrete IFNgamma

40
Q

What does IFNgamma do?

A

induce NOS2 gene transcription

41
Q

What cells remove particles that have penetrated skin and what do they do with them?

A

Langerhans cells then migrate to draining lymph nodes and act as APCs interacting with T-cells

42
Q

In species without lymph nodes how to cells remove particles?

A

Same cells but migriate to drainage lymph nodules or clear particles circulation with interaction with T-cells in secondary lymphoid tissues

43
Q

What consists of secondary lymphoid tissues?

A

Spleen, pronephros (in fish), bursa (birds)

44
Q

What is involved in the removal of ingested particles?

A

GI tract enzymes degrade most particles and the rest is removed by mucus flow

45
Q

What is the function of M cells in the GIT?

A

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
Q

What is involved in the removal of inhaled particles?

A

most stick to the mucus in the bronchi and bronchies and are pushed out

47
Q

What happens to particles small enough to reach the alveoli?

A

they are phagocytized by alveolar M0 and removed by mucus flow

48
Q

How do pigs, ruminants and horses remove circulating particles?

A

removed my M0 lining capillary epithelium of the lung

49
Q

How do humans, rabbits and mice remove circulating particles?

A

via hepatic Kupffer cells and splenic M0

50
Q

What occurs in the human liver to remove particles?

A

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
Q

What makes the best opsonins and why?

A

Antibodies because they are antigen specific

52
Q

K-cells rely heavily on what type of opsinization?

A

C3 via CD35

53
Q

What do M1 differentiate into for healing?

A

M2

54
Q

What is the function of TGFbeta?

A

promotes fibroblast division and enhances deposition of fibroblast proteins such as fibronectin (scaffold for ECM)

55
Q

True or false - M2 M0s secrete angiogenic factors

A

true

56
Q

When does the host inflammatory response become chronic?

A

when foreign particles persist for a long time or a pathogen remains elusive

57
Q

Granulomas contain what?

A

M0 which form into giant cells to restrict spread of the pathogen or particle
