Week 2 Immunity Flashcards
TLR1
CD281 detects triacyl lipoprotein from gm+ bacteria
TLR2
CD282 detects triacyl lipoprotein from gm+ bacteria
TLR3
Detects dsRNA and viruses. Does not go through MyD88.
TLR4
Detects LPS Gm- bacteria Cd284
TLR5
Detects flagellin protein
TLR6
bacterial lipoproteins
TLR7
ssRNA in endosomes
TLR8
oligonucleotides
TLR9
CPG DNA- bacterial and viral genome synthesis products
TLR10
CD290, unknown function
NFkB
Expression of pro-inflammatory genes
•Production of prostaglandins and other leukotrienes
•Production of interleukins and other cytokines
Other immune process helping functions
Formation of HOCl form H2O2
Uses the Fe containing enzyem myeloperoxidase mostly in neutrophils.
Chronic Granulomatous disease
Phagocytes have genetic defects in “NADPH oxidase” and most infections in these patients are catalase positive because they can break down the H2O2 produced by our cells.
MHC class I
Are recognized by CD8+ killer T cells. Display internal proteins which may help to display viral infection.
MHC Class II
Recognized by CD4+ helper T cells. Display antigen of phagocytosed products on the cell surface of Monocytes, dendritic cells, b cells.
Th1
Type 1 Ht cell. recognizes antigen and makes a lymphokine to attract macrophages to clean up antigen/ infection.
Th17
main role is focused on inflammation, are more powerful than Th1. Problems with these leads to autoimmunity.
Th2
Stimulate macrophages to become able to wall off pathogens and promote healing. Important in parasite immunity.
