Memory responses of innate immunity
Invertebrate innate responses and nk cells
Soluble components of blood in innate immunity
Anti microbal peptides and proteins
Soluble components of blood in adaptive immunity
Antibodies and cytokines
Cells in adaptive immunity
T cells. B cells. APC
Polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)
Neutrophils
Neutrophils are …. to …. per ML of blood but may rise up to ….
4k - 10k
20k
…% is neutrophils
….% eosinophils
…% mast cells
50-70%
1-3%
1%
Leukocytosis, is used medically as an indication of
Infection
Cytokines that stimulate neutrophil production
colony- stimulating factors (CSFs),
Macrophages produce cytokines to
induce and regulate inflammation
Cytokines produced by dendritic cells have 2 functions
.Initiate inflammation
.Stimulate adaptive immune responses
are lymphocyte-like cells that produce cytokines and perform functions similar to those of T lymphocytes but do not express T cell antigen receptors (TCRs).
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs)
ILCs have been divided into three major groups based on their
secreted cytokines
ILS correspond to
Th1, Th2, and Th17 subsets of CD4+ T cells.
Extracellular bacteria and fungi are combated mainly by
acute inflammatory response, the complement system
Intracellular bacteria are eliminated by
phagocytes that are activated by Toll-like receptors, cytokines
Defense against viruses is provided by
type I interferons and natural killer cells
Natural killer (NK) cells recognize infected and stressed cells and respond by
killing these cells
secreting the macrophage-activating cytokine IFN-γ
NK cells make up approximately…% of the lymphocytes
10
On activation by infected cells, NK cells
empty the contents of their cytoplasmic granules into the extracellular space at the point of contact with the infected cell. The granule proteins then enter infected cells and activate enzymes that induce apoptosis.
NK cell–activating cytokines (they activate nk)
IL15
IFN 1
IL 12
How does nk cells active macrophages
Macrophages produce IL12
NK cells are activated and therefore produces IFN Y
