SFM Immuno Exam 1 Flashcards
TNF, IL-1, chemokines
Function: pro-inflammation
INF-a, IFN-B
resistance to viral infection
IFNy
macrophage activation
IL-12
IFNy production (by NK cells and T cells)
IL-15
Proliferation of NK cells
IL-10, TGF-B, IL-4
control of inflammation (anti-inflammatory)
IL-1, TNFa, IL-6
secreted by Tissue macrophage, enter bloodstream and produce systemic effects (acute phase response)
- fever (IL-1, TNFa, IL-6)
- induction of acute phase proteins (IL-6, IL-1, TNFa)
- althralgia/myalgia (TNF-a)
IL-2
Growth factor for T cells, makes resistant to apoptosis
IL-8
chemokine for neutrophils, stimulate conformational changes in ICAM-1 and VCAM1
MCP-1
chemokine for monocytes, stimulates conformational changes in ICAM-1 and VCAM1
PAMPS
pathogen associated molecular proteins
recognized by PRR (pattern recognition receptors)
TLR2/TLR6
recognizes gram positive bacteria
TLR4
recognizes gram negative bacteria
CR1
copmlement receptor type 1: on surface of macrophage or neutrophil, binds C3b after it has bound to pathogen survace
Th1 (T helper 1)
cells control against intracellular pathogens
Th2 (T helper 2)
control responses against extracellular pathogens,
also promote production of antibodies by B cells
Dendritic cells direct diff of T. cells
into T helper 1 cells or T helper 2 cells
TLR3
double stranded (viral) RNA
TLR5
flagella
TLR9
unmethylated CpG DNA
