overview of the immune system Flashcards
what type of disease is periodontitis
Poly microbial, immune mediated(inflamation) disease
types of Mammalian Immune Response
Innate and Adaptive
The first responders to infection
Innate Immune Response
Immune response that broadly looks for patterns with danger and pathogen and tissue damage
Innate Immune Response
Where Immunological memory is found
In the Adaptive Immune Response
Relation of the Innate Immune Response to the Adaptive Immune Response
Innate trains the adpative to know what to look for
A non-specific, Rapidly Inflammityory response
Innate Immunity
A targetted to antigen, delayed response
Adaptive Immunity
Immune response with more cell types
Innate Immunity
Why Innate Immunity has more cells
Different cells respond to different pathogens or trama differently
Where hematopoisesis occures
In the Bone Marrow
When Hematopoiesis occures
after birth
Cells that exist because of Hematopoiesis
Platelets, Red Blood cells, White blood cells (Myeloid and Lymphoid)
How cell type is determined during hematopoiesis
environment that they are surrounded by
Singals it recieves by stromal cell within bone marrow
Hematopoisites can become
Myeloid or Lymphoid cells
Myloid cells become:
Innate Immune cells and Red blood cells and Platelets
Lymphoid cells become
T cells, B cells, and Natural Killer cells
What bones do hematopoiesis
Young: long bones, old: flat bones
Most abundant Leukocyte in circulation
Neutrophils
Involved in Inflammatory and allergic response
Basophils
Involved in combating parasitic infection and allergic response
Eosinophils
Myeloid dervied cells
Granulocytes( neutrophils, Basophils, Eosinophils)
Phagocytes(Monocytes, macrophages, Conventional Dendritic Cells)
Monocytes are involved in:
Phagocytosis
Travel and differentiation of Monocytes
Circulate in blood, enter tissue to differentiate into macrophage or dendtric cells
Macrophages role
Phagocytic cells that present antigens, clear away broken stuff
where Macrophages are found
in all tissue
Function of Conventional Dendritic cells
Similar to macrophages, and activate naive T cells
Mast Cells contain
Preformed granules, despite NOT being a granulocyte
Roll of Mast cells
Defense against Parasitic worms, and allergic response
Cells from lymphoid Lineage
T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, Natural Killer Cells
types of T lymphocytes
Cytotoxic(CD8) and Helper (CD4)
Roll of T lymphocytes
Suppressor/regulatory
B lymphocytes differentiate into:
plasma cells
Roll of B lymphocytes
antibody production
roll of Natural killer cells
Innate immune response (non antigen specific)
adaptive immunity cells
T and B lymphocytes
Molecule capable of inducing an immune response
Antigen
Portective proteins made by B cells that recognize 1 specific antigen
Antibody/ immunoglobulin
How immune cells communicate
Secrete signalling molcules (cytokines and Chemokines)
Cell signalling molecules for chemotaxis
Chemokines
types of cell receptors for for cell communication
Internal and External
Domains of cell surface receptors
Extracellular, Trransmembrane, cytoplasmic
Steps of cellular communication
Ligand binds to receptor(intracellular domain aggregate)
Phosphorylation of Protein tyrosine Kinase
Protein tyrosine kinase initiate a series of phosphorylation and dephosphorlation events
Phosphorylation of Protein tyrosine kinases leads to:
Release of Cellular mediators
Actin rearrangement
Transcriptional activation leading to production of Target proteins
Group of secreted proteins that are involved in regulating the innate and adaptive immune responses
Cytokines
Cytokines involved in activation and proliferation
G-CSF, IFNgamma
Inflammation cytokines
IL-1beta, TNG-alpha
Cell migration and movemnt cytokines
CCL2, CSCL1, CX3CL1
Immunosuppression Cytokines
IL-10, TGF-beta
Autocrine
Acts on itself
Paracrine
Acts on nearby cells
Endocrine
Circulation
ORganized clusters of Lymphoid cells
Follicle
Many Follicles grouped together
Patch
Groups of follicles that are encapsulated
Organ
Primary lymphoid tissue
Thymus and Bone Marrow
where secondary lymphoid tissue is found
everywhere but thymus and bone marrow
stromal cell network involved in
create collony stimulating factory to push cells to a certain lineage
What cell does not levae the bone marrow mature
The T cell
