Duties of Non specific
Secure the border/keep in tact, and fill the breach inactivation
T/F
this system is antigen specific
False
Name all of the defenses
Physical Barriers, Phagocytes, Extracellular Killing, Inflammatory, Fever, Interferons, Complement
Epithelium
outer lining, skin
Interstitial tissues are usually
free of any microbes, steril
Macrophages and Dendritic cells perform
Phagocytosis, digestion, antigen presentation and secretion of pro inflammatory cytokines
Neurtrophils
Phogocytosis and digestion but do not present antigens, they can harm tissues if excessive, pyogenic infection
Pyogenic Infection
Puss producing
Too much cytokine response can result in
Shock
Pattern Recognition Receptor (PRR)
Do not recognize antigens, they recognize things on microbes that never change i.e. peptidoglycan
Toll Like Receptors TLR
Type of PRR. they are surface receptor proteins that bind PAMPs
PAMPs
The things on the microbe that PRR and TLRs bind to. i.e. flagella
Natural Killer cells NK
Not antigen specific, recognize abnormal cells. are not phagocytic. virus infected cells, cancer, worms
Eosinophils
Not antigen specific,
are weakly phagocytic. Large destruction like worms
Local response to bacteria in cut
Histamines are released from the cytosol of surrounding cells
Fever
Systemic increase in body temp
Exogenous
Causes fever. From endotoxins of gram neg cells from outside the body. LPS
Endogenous
Causes fever. From own body IL1
Interferon types
Alpha Beta--> Induce AVPs
Gamma--> activates Macrophages
Complement
Opsonization (phagocytosis)
Promotes inflammation
Destroys microbes
Where is complement produced?
In the liver
How does Complement work?
Drifts around in blood waiting to be activated. they coat the microbes. Bind antigen
Defensins
respiratory tract, antibacterial
Bind antigen
What is the job of the interferon?
To be secreted from infected cell to tell neigboring cells to watch out. Interferon doesnt harm anything
Classic Complement path
antigen-antibody complexes. leads to inflammation
Lectin Complement Path
Microbial surface. leads to Opsonization
Alternate Complement Path
Non specific activators leads to membrane attack
Which paths of complement are preffered?
Lecting and Alternatice because they dont involve an antibody
PRR on surface
Toll Like Receptors TLRs
PRR in blood
Complement
When can the specificity of TLRs change or adapt?
NEVER
TLRs recognize PAMPS that are
constantly present on threats,
not subject to mutation
highly specific
not normally found in TLR host
TLR2
Gram pos, Lipoteichoic acid
TLR3
Ds RNA
TLR4
Lipopolysaccharide
Whe TLR binds...
Intracellular signaling happens via cytokine production
Inappropriate TLR stimulation leads to
Shock
Inappropriate response to toxins
Toxic Shock
Inappropriate response to microbes
Septic Shock
Complement can bind directly though what pathway?
Alternate
Sepsis
Results from excess immune response due to severe infection
Signs and symptoms of septic shock
Tachy, fever, low bp, multipul organ faliur
