module 2- chapter 2- immunology Flashcards
what is nonclonal, has identical receptors on all cells of the same lineage?
innate immunity
what are the two principal types of reaction of the innate immune system
stimulate acute inflammation and anti-viral defenses
accumulation of leukocytes, phagocytic cells, plasma proteins, and fluid derived from blood at extravascular tissue site of infection or injury
stimulate acute inflammation in innate
NK cell mediated killing of virus-infected cells.
interferon (type I) which are secreted by virus-infected cells, bind to receptors on surrounding cells and induce antiviral state in those cells
anti-viral defenses of innate
what are the prominent cell associated pattern recognition receptors and sensors of innate immunity
toll-like receptors TLRs
NOD like receptors NLRs
RIG like receptors RLR
where are TLR found?
NOD found?
RIG found?
TLR- extracellular surface and endosomal
NOD- cytosol
RIG- cytosol
these receptors are a family of cytosolic proteins that recognize pamps and damps and recruite other proteins to form signaling complexes that promote inflammation
nod like receptors
cytosolic sensors of viral RNA that respond to viral nucleic acids by inducing production of the antiviral type I interferons
RIG like receptors
physical barrier to infection and aids in killing of microbes by local antibiotics or by intrapeithelial lymphocytes
epithelial barrier
(component of innate response)
circulating phagocytic cells and most abundant
first cell to respond to infection
neutrophils
secrete cytokines that induce inflammation and ingest/destroy microbes
survives for long time
macrophages (type of phagocyte)
secretes cytokines and present antigenic peptides to t cells
dendritic cells
(sentinel cells)
abundant cytoplasmic granules
present in skin and mucosal epithelium
contain vasoactive amines (histamines)
cause vasodilation and capillary permeability
mast cells
lymphocyte-like cells
produce cytokines but lack t cells antigens receptors TCRs
innate lymphoid cells
