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
|
