Wk4 GI Immunity Flashcards
Cell responsible for immune tolerance of novel substances that may be important for nutrition:
T reg’s
4 layers of GI defense:
- intraepithelial
- lamina propria
- Peyer’s patch
- Mesenteric lymph nodes
aEB7 integrin
Intraepithelial lymphocyte chemotactic factor in vili
associated with E-cadherin
upper GI
Intraepithelial lymphocyte of upper GI vili?
CD8+
MADCAM1 (a selectin)
Upper GI
lamina propria chemotactic factor
associated with a4B7 integrin
Peyers patch location:
lower GI
Main regulator of inflammatory response:
NKkB
Slide 19
lymphoid tissue
IL for T regs?
IL-10
lower GI cell that engulfs stuff:
M cell
Adaptive immunity “training” location for ingested antigens:
Peyer’s Patches
Mesenteric LN’s
lower GI
Effector cells can enter circulation and distribute throughout the body
Seven defense strategies of GI sys:
- Block entry into organism (most pathogens)
- Block entry into cell (bacteria, viruses)
- Prohibit spreading (most pathogens)
- Direct killing (most pathogens)
- Kill infected host cell (virus, intracellular bacteria, protozoa)
- expulsion (multicellular parasites)
- Nutrient depravations (bacteria, protozoa)
Methods for blocking entry into organism:
tight junctions
cilia
mucin
Neutralizing antibodies
Anti-microbial peptides
Enzymes (lysozyme, PLA2 from paneth cells)
Methods for blocking entry into cell:
AB’s bind pathogen – prevent adherence
Bacteria agglutinate
Methods to prohibit spreading:
coagulation/vasoconstriction
neutralizing Ab’s
INFa/B (type 1)
- increased MHC class 1
- increased cell mediated cytotoxicity
