Mucosal Immunity Flashcards
lamina propria
germ free - few LP
infectious environment - many LP
paneth cells
defensins -antimicrobial peptides
peyers patches
non-encapsulated but like lymph node
T and B cell population and APCs
M cells
no microvilli
-antigen presentation to peyers patches
antibody of gut
IgA
innate immunity
goblet cells
epithelial cells
paneth cells
M cells
mucins
O-linked oligosaccharides
-secreted and membrane bound (glycocalyx)
NLR
in cytoplasm of epithelium cells
TLR
on basolateral surface
also on dendritc cells of lamina propria (low levels)
defensins
small cationic peptides
three disulfide bonds
small bowel -alpha (HD5 HD6)
-by neutrophils
colon -beta
-by epithelial cells
adaptive immunity
IgA
Th17
suppression
peyers patches
part of GALT
follicle - B cells rich (IgM and IgD)
dome region - T, B, DC, macrophages
M cells
top of domes flat epithelial cells MHC class II
antigen capture
dendritic cell extends arm to lumen
dendritic cell sampling
IL-6 and TGF-B
T cells - IFN gamma and IL 17
