Test 1: lecture 2 Flashcards
good microbes
commensal microbes
4 classes of animal pathogen
bacteria
fungi
viruses
parasites
types of niches pathogens can occupy
extracellular:
interstitial space, blood and lymph
epithelial surfaces
Intracellular
cytoplasmic or vesicular
innate immunity is required to trigger what part of adaptive immunity
1: Required for T and B cell activation by pathogens
2: Instructs the response that is most appropriate for each pathogen
epithelial barriers in the __ help protect from pathogens
skin
gut
lungs
eyes and nose
Physical ___ junctions of epithelial barriers prevent pathogens from entering our bodies
cell-cell
how do epithelial barriers protect us?
keep pathogens out- mechanical and chemical barriers
are constantly cleared
muco-cillary clearance
normal flora- competes for food of pathogen
most common portals of microbe entry
skin
respiratory tract
GI
reproductive tract
epithelial layer provide a ___ and ___ barrier
physical
chemical
just under epithelial cells, ___ cells survey for infection
sentinel
___ continuously produced from monocytes. Make up ~15% of all tissue cells and monitor for pathogens.
macrophages
macrophages are found in large number where?
intestine
lung (alveolar macrophages)
liver (kupffer cells)
spleen (clear out RBC)
brain (microglia)
what is the most abundant neutrophil?
leukocytes
neutrophils live ___. they are normal found in the ___ unless pathogen is detected
a few days
blood
___ are responsible for inflammation, pain, redness, heat and swelling
macrophages and neutrophils
how do phagocytes find and eat pathogen?
have receptors on their surface for nonspecific pathogen
if something binds will eat and then break down the pathogen into pieces → it will then put a piece of the pathogen on its surface
it will also produce cytokines and chemokines to recruit help
chemotaxis
neutrophil can sense pathogen and will chase after it
___ are produced by phagocytosis to try to break down pathogen
Reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs) and Nitric Oxide (NO)
NADPH oxidase- generates ROIs from molecular oxygen: Called the “respiratory burst” due to transient increase in O2 consumption
O2-- superoxide anion, Other free radicals, H2O2- hydrogen peroxide made from O2- by superoxide dismutase
___ is called the “respiratory burst” due to transient increase in O2 consumption and creates ___
NADPH oxidase
reactive oxygen intermediates such as O2-, free radicals and H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)
H2O2 + Fe2+ → bleach and hydroxyl radial (OH)
why is NADPH oxidase important
will turn O2 into toxic materials (ROI reactive oxygen intermediates) and NO (nitric oxide) that eat pathogens
found in macrophages
____: Immunodeficiency due to inability to produce ROIs resulting from Mutation in any of the subunits of the NADPH oxidase complex. Can’t get rid of microbe so continuous recruitment of Macrophages and T lymphocytes surround microbe (granuloma)
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)-
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)- Immunodeficiency due to inability to produce ROIs resulting from Mutation in any of the subunits of the ___ complex. Can’t get rid of microbe so continuous recruitment of Macrophages and T lymphocytes surround microbe (granuloma)
NADPH oxidase
Macrophage-derived ___ coordinate innate and adaptive immunity
cytokines and chemokines
TNF is produced by ___ to do ___
macrophages
activates vascular endothelium and increases vascular permeability, which leads to increased entery of IgG complement, and cells to tissues and increased fluid drainage to lymph nodes
