Par coeur Immuno Flashcards
What are the roles of interferon in viral infections?
1) active immune cells
2) induces antiviral protein to block virus replication
3) causes apoptosis of virus infected cells
What are the innate lymphoid cells?
Tissue resident lymphocytes w/o LT AG-R activated by cytokines
Group 1-2-3 produce same cytokine as Th1, Th2 and Th17
What are the components of innate immunity?
Epithelial barriers
Phagocytes
Dendritic cells
Complement
NK cells
Nod-Like-R signal via what?
NLR = recognize substance from damaged cell (uric acid, ATP, K+, microbes)
Signal via inflammasome, active caspase 1 + IL1
Utility of C-type lectin (CLR)
On plasma membrane of macro and DC = detect fungal glycans
Utility of Rig-like-R
In cytosol = detect a.n of viruses that replicate in cytoplasm = induce prod of antiviral cytokines
What is the pathway activated by cytosolic-R for microbial DNA
STING = prod of antiviral cytokine IFNa
Overactivation = interferonopathies
Utility of G-coupled-R
On neutro and macro = recognize short bact peptide with N-formylmethionyl residues = chemotaxis
Utility of mannose-R
Recognize microbial sugars = phagocytosis
Of what is composed the inflammasome?
Of a sensor protein ex: NLRP3
An adapter
Enzyme caspase 1 converted from inactive to active
What R is expressed on NK?
What do they secrete?
Regulated by what cytokines?
Express CD16 = R for IgG Fc tails = lyse IgG coated cells
NK inhibitory-R = recognize CMH I
Secrete IFNy = active macro
IL2, IL15 = stimule prolif of NK
IL12 = activates killing of target cells and secretion of IFNy
Role of humoral and cell-mediated adaptive immunity
Humorale = protects against EC microbes (LB and AC)
LB = neutralize microbe, phagocytosis, complement activation
Cell-mediated = defense against IC microbes and cancer (LT)
T-helper = active macro, inflamm, prolif of LT and LB
CTL = killing of infected cell
Treg = suppress immune response
In adaptive immunity, how is AG-R diversity made?
Generated by somatic recombination of genes that encode AG-R
During lymphocytes maturation = recombination of DNA sequence introduced at sites where segments are joined
ENZYME IN CHARGE = RAG-1 et 2 (defects = failure to make mature lymphocytes)
= distinguish polyclonal and monoclonal (neoplasic) by assessing rearrangement diversity
To what bind CD4+ and CD8+
CD4+ = cytokine secreting helper cell = binds CMH II
CD8+ = CTL binds CMH I
Distribution of LT and LB in NL and spleen
LB = germinal center
LT = paracortex
FollicleDC active LB and paracortex DC present AG to LT
LB in white pulp
LT periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths
What plays an important role in grafts rejection?
HLA haplotype polymorphisms (expression of CMH)
HLA-D = Class II
HLA-A à C = Class I (expressed on all nucleated cells and platelets)
Cytokines playing a role in innate immune responses (produced by macro, DC, ILC, NL, endo/epithelial cells)
TNF
IL1
IL12
IFN type 1
IFNy
Chemokines
Cytokines playing a role in adaptive immune response (produced by CD4+ LT)
IL2 = role in differenciation of naive LT to effector and memory LT
IL4
IL5
IL17
IFNy
Terminate response : TGFB, IL10
Principal costimulator of LT
B7 protein (CD80-86) = recognize CD28-R on naive LT
CD4+ effector cells secrete distinct cytokines :
Th1
Th2
Th17
Th1 = IFNy = active macro
Th2 :
IL4 = stimule LB differenciation into IgE secreting plasmocytes
IL5 = production of eosinophils
Induce alternative pathway of macro = repair + fibrosis
Th17 = IL17 = recruits neutro and monocytes
