Mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue
specialized per mucosal tissue
lymph node-like organization
barriers produce antimicrobial Peptides to do what?
destroy pathogens
select commensal communities
initiate inflammation
what does calprotetin do?
binds and sequesters divalent cations to limit growth of bacteria and fungi
what do cathelicidins do?
disrupts membranes of bacteria: additional toxic effects intracellularly killing cells
what do surfactant proteins do?
block bacterial surface components and promotes phagocytosis
the common myeloid precursor gives rise to what side of the immune system cells?
innate cells
the common lymphoid precursor gives rise to what?
B cells, T cells and NK cells
lymphocyte circulation allows for what?
maximizes likelihood of antigen encounter
how long does it take for a single lymphocyte to completely circulate?
24 hours
DCs are probed by how many T cells per hour?
5000
once leaving the lymph nodes what percent of lymphocytes enter the lymph and blood?
52% lymph
48% blood
why strategy does our body employ for browsing in the immune system?
few specific cells that circulate for a long time rather than making a bunch of cells and wasting energy.
1:100,100 lymphocytes bind a presented antigen
where are most infections stopped?
at the epithelium and mucosal surfaces
what is the major difference in immunity at mucsoal surfaces compared to epithelium?
recruitment of neutrophils is not immediate
- inflammation is a last resort(chronic infxn, damage, large infxn)
- adaptive response is very local due to resident adaptive immune cells in the lamina propria
mucosal immunity is pre-emptive how?
adaptive immunity recruited prior to pathogen entry
- adaptive immune cells located at sites of potential infxn
- mucosal surface is shaped by ongoing immunity due to:
- -antimicrobial peptides
- -IgA secretion
- -Targeted killing
- -Epithelial cell immunity
- -commensal competition
initiation of inflammation is done by what?
pattern recognition
- TLRs
- complement
- CD14 (LPS)
- Mannose receptor
- SR-A/B (scavenger receptors)
what is exudate
fluid that contains complement, and antimicrobial peptides
what is the time line for immediate immune response
0-4 hours
what is the time line for induce immune response
4 hour to 4 days
what is the time line for adaptive immune response
4 days until pathogen is defeated or truce of chronic disease
what are the three compliment pathways
Classical
lectin
alternative
what are the three effector functions of C3b
opsonization
MAC
a components recruit phagocytic cells to site of infxn
what are the five inflammatory cytokines released by Macrophages to promote an inflammatory response?
IL-1B TNF-alpha IL-6 CXCL8 IL-12 (up regulates receptors, IFNs, proliferation in NK)
Inflammatory cytokines stimulate the liver to do what?
think of IL-6
make acute phase response
- CRP
- MBLs
- Complement components
- Clotting factors
- Lipopolysaccharide binding proteins

what does CXCL8 do and what is the receptor?
it is the primary neutrophil chemokine
neutrophil CXCL8 receptor is CXCL1/2 and causes the LFA-1 to be expressed
what are the three effector mechanisms of neutrophils?
phagocytosis
degranulation
NETs
where does the interferon response come from?
immune cells or infected cells
what are the 3 things IFNs do?
- induce resistance to viral replication in all cells
- increase expression of ligands(stress) for receptors on NK cells
- activate NK cells to kill virus infected cells
what are the two cells that release perforin and granzyme?
CD8 T cells and NK cells
what are the 3 ways NK cells kill cells?
granule exocytosis release
death-receptors
IFN gamma and NO
what are the 3 classic antigen presenting cells?
DCs
Macs
B cells
what T cells can act as a antigen presenting cell?
gamma/delta T cell
what cells activate T cells

what cells can activate B cells
FDCs and Macs
what is the time line for T cell activation in a lymph node
min-24 hrs- Ag enters
1-24 hrs-T cell/APC interactions
24-96 hrs- T cell proliferation and differentiation
72-96 hrs: Egress of effector cells
what is the time line for B cell activation in a lymph node?
minutes: Ag enters
min-6 hrs- B cell/Ag interaction
6hrs- B cell migration to T cell zone
24-48 hrs-B cell prolif. and migrate to outer follicle zone
48-96 hrs- development of germinal center
72-96 hr: egress of effector cells
what are the 3 signals for T cell activation
MHC with TCR and co-receptor (activation)
B7 on APC with CD28 on T cell(survival)
cytokine signal (differentiation)
cytokinesis of activated T cells is how long

T cell differentiation is dependent upon what?
the pathogen that activated the APC
