Q

what happens when you inhale harmless particle

A

1) inhale harmless particle
2) bind to epithelial cell and mucus
3) mucociliary escalator to mouth to sneeze, cough
4) some particles bind to dendritic cell (projection between epithelial cell to sample airway)
5) if particle does not have a PAMP, then dendritic cell will go to draining lymph node —> not activated to induce adaptive immune response

tonic suppression of inflammation
tonic suppression of adaptive immunity
(what we normally inhale during day)

22
Q

what happens when you inhale virus

A

1) inhale virus
2) virus has PAMP
3) PAMP bind to epithelail cell —> activ —> chemokine/cytokine to recruit
neutorphils and induce microbial killing
4) PAMP bind to DC upregul CD8 and MHC
5) DC traffick to lymph node to present to T cells and induce adaptive immune response

activation of dendritic cell
PMN recruitment and adaptive immune response

23
Q

what is mechanism of innate immune protect in lung

A

1) cytokine/chemokine recruit
2) PMN recruit
3) microbial killing
4) dendritic cell maturation
5) monocyte recruit

24
Q

TL4 mutations associated with ___ in humans

A

endotoxin hyporesponsiveness (incr infection)

less likely to develop ARDS/ALI

25
Q

TLR2 bind to gram positive
TLR4 binds gram negative
TLR7 and TLR8 bind HIV
TLR9 binds DNA

A

a

26
Q

where are TLR mostly expressed

A

innate immune system

granulocytes/macrophages (mostly)
dendritic cells too

27
Q

what does TLR stimulation do?

A

1) induce proinflamm response
(activ epithelial, DCs, cytokines, type 1 IFN)

2) bridge between innate and adaptive imunity

28
Q

what is the function of MHC molecules?

A

antigen presenting cell via MHC class 2 or MHC class 1

1) encounter bug
2) phagocytosed
3) via antigen processing pathway, chopped up into peptides
4) bind to either MHC class 2 and interact with CD4
binds to MHC 1 to interact with CD8
5) dendritic cell activated –> must upregul co-stim molec
must be costim

must have both signals for optimal immune response

29
Q

what are the major APC in the lung?

A

dendritic cells

1) pathogen has PAMP
2) bind to PRR
3) activation of dendritic
cell
4) travel to lymph node
5) T cell area in lymph
node
6) small freq of T cells
specific for peptide on MHC
7) interaction btwn
antigen specific receptor
on TCR

to allow T cell activ
prolif and traffick to skin

30
Q

Compare and contrast

Resident macrophages. vs monocytes vs. resident dendritic cells

major function

A

suppress adaptive imm, unwanted inflamm, phagocytose particulates

2) diff into inflamm macs, DCs
patrol vascular endothelium
