Test 1: lecture 3 Flashcards
___ : molecular explanation for innate immune detection of pathogens – Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) and Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs)
Pattern Recognition Theory
___ distill microbial world into small number of specific signatures
TLRs
Cell Surface and Intracellular TLRs detect distinct classes of ___(cell surface structures vs. nucleic acids)
PAMPs Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterns
___ are crucial for initiation of innate inflammatory response programs
PRRs Pattern Recognition Receptors
___ recognition of microbial products leads to upregulation of antigen presentation and instructive cytokines in order to instruct pathogen-specific ___ response
innate
adaptive
Antiviral response module involves activation of distinct class of responses – type I IFN response and ___ responses to eliminate virally infected cells
Natural Killer (NK)
Unique evolutionary pressures shape the specificity and repertoire of the ___immune system
innate
host has to be able to identify pathogen. Pathogen is trying to avoid host
Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs)
Receptors evolved to detect unique features of microbes that are distinct from the host cell physiology
how host tells a pathogen is there
___ are expressed on sentinel cells and signal the presence of infection
Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs)
PRRs allow ___ of response and self/non-self discrimination
specificity
___ immunity is encoded in the genome
innate
___ immunity is expressed by all cells in a particular type (macrophages)
innate
___ immunity triggers immediate response
innate
___ immunity recognizes broad classes of pathogen
innate
___ immunity requires gene re-arrangement
adaptive
___ immunity is by clonal distribution
adaptive
___ immunity is able to discriminate between even closely related molecular structures
adaptive
___ immunity is able to distinguish the type of pathogen
innate
gram + bacteria
gram negative bacteria
what two things are unique to gram + bacteria
what is unique about gram negative bacteria
___ bacteria contain two cell membranes
gram negative
LPS found on ___ bacteria is responsible for endotoxic shock
gram- negative
lipopolysaccharide
lipoteichoic acid, peptidoglycan, LPS and lipoproteins are unique to ___
____ are PRRs that detect repetitive carbohydrate structures
Soluble scavenger receptors
Soluble scavenger receptors are used to detect what kind of pathogen?
mannose binding lectin is a type of ___ and detect ___
soluble scavenger receptor which is a type of pattern recognition receptors
repetitive carb structures on bacteria and fungi
toll like receptors lead to the expression of
interleukin cytokines such as IL1beta, Il-8, IL-6 ect
