circulating proteins bind pathogen and immune cell

37
Q

C4b2b3b

A

classical C5 convertase

38
Q

C1INH

A

binds to C1r and C1s and dissociate from C1q, also inhibits clotting and kinin systems

39
Q

lectins

A

recognize carbohydrates

40
Q

scavenger receptors

A

SR-A, SR-B, MARCO

recognize negatively charged microbial ligands

41
Q

CR1

A

recognizes C3b

42
Q

Q

TLR4

A

recognizes LPS

44
Q

TLR3

A

recognizes dsRNA including HSV

45
Q

TLR9

A

recognizes unmethylated CpG

46
Q

TLR pathway

A

TLR activation - intracellular TIR domain - MyD88 - IRAK4 - TRAF6 - phosphorylation of IKK - degradation of IkB from NFkB - NFkB increases transcription of cytokines and adhesion proteins

47
Q

A

IL1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha

48
Q

IL-12

A

activates NK cells and IFN-gamma production

49
Q

CXCL8

A

chemokine recruits basophils and neutrophils

50
Q

NLRs (NOD-like receptors)

A

recognize intracellular PAMPs

51
Q

NLRP3

A

recognizes intracellular PAMP and forms inflammasome to activate pro-IL-1beta –> inflammation

52
Q

Sialyl-Lewis-x

A

on neutrophils, interaction with endothelial selectin to slow

53
Q

LFA-1

A

on neutrophil, binds ICAM-1 on endothelium for extravasation

54
Q

lipofuscin

A

age-related pigment associated with atrophy

55
Q

nuclear changes with cell death

A
  1. pyknosis: chromatin condensation
  2. karyorrhexis: nuclear fragmentation
  3. karyolysis: fading of nucleus
56
Q

Coagulative necrosis

A

architecture remains, greater protein denaturation than enzymatic digestion

57
Q
