pathogens need to... |
gain entry, adhere, colonize, invade + evade, get out of body (spread) |
|
contains mechanical and chemical microbiological barriers |
epithelial cells |
|
3 components of Innate IR |
1) Macrophages 2) Inflammation 3) Complement |
|
phagocytic cells in the tissues |
macrophages - killing immature dendritic cell - no killing |
|
MO breaks epithelial barrier...then it encounters |
1) macrophages 2) neutrophils |
|
macrophages have receptors called... |
pattern recognition receptors (PRR) which recognize PAMPS |
|
what do PRR's recognize? |
non-self stuff - PAMPS (pathogen-associated molecular patters) |
|
intercellular vessicles in macrophages how do they work? |
phagosomes - can become acidic - can fuse with lysosome --> phagolysosome |
|
phagosome + lysosome |
phagolysosome |
|
what do macrophages secrete? |
1) cytokines 2) chemokines 3) lipid mediators |
|
cytokines |
affect cell behavior |
|
chemokines |
type of cytokine affect migration (through gradients) |
|
lipid mediators |
inflammation triggers ex. prostoglandins |
|
modes of killing (macrophages and neutrophils) |
- phagosome acidified - phagolysosome - produces lysozyme - destroys DNA - phagocytes produce toxic oxygenic compounds |
|
are macrophage modes of killing sufficient to prevent an established infection? |
yes |
|
macrophages release cytokines (TNF-a) and chemokines and lipid mediators- this is called ____ |
recruitment |
|
4 components of inflammation |
pain, swelling, redness, heat |
|
4 changes from inflammation |
1) increase vascular diameter
2) endothelial lining produces adhesion molecules to attract leukocytes --> allows extravasation 3) increase vascular permeability 4) clotting in microvessels |
|
what does increasing the vascular diameter do in inflammatory response |
increases and slows blood flow --> heat and redness |
|
what is extravasation? |
macs + nets leave vessel --> tissue --> swelling + pain |
|
why does clotting in micro vessels happen with inflammation? |
protective - blocks pathogen from bloodstream |
|
purposes of lipid mediators |
1) deliver additional effectors mols to infection site 2) physical barrier to prevent spread 3) promote tissue repair |
|
allow innate IR to distinguish self from non-self |
PRR's - pattern recognition receptors recognize common patterns (DNA, RNA, etc.) |
|
innate IR vs. adaptive IR |
innate - common receptor --> common antigen adaptive - 1 antibody/TCR --> 1 antigen |
|
each B-cell and T-cell is unique because... |
BCR's and TCR's are all unique |
|
MBL, macrophage mannose receptor, scavenger receptor, TLR are examples of... |
PRR |
|
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) |
PRR soluble - floating around binds to sugar |
|
scavenger receptors |
PRR like negative charges + lipoproteins |
|
TLR |
toll-like receptors (PRR) recognizes PAMPS that are important to pathogen survival |
|
PRR functions |
- trigger phagocytosis - complement cascade triggers pro-inflammatory cytokine + chemokine + lipid mediator production |
|
PRR functions for dendritic cells |
induce cell surface display of costimulatory molecules |
|
set of plasma proteins that act together to attack the surface of pathogens |
complement cascade |
|
complement cascade proteins are... |
in body fluids + tissues induces inflammation many plasma proteins are zymogens proteins are activated locally triggered enzyme cascade |
|
3 complement pathways |
1) Classical 2) MB-Lectin pathway 3) Alternative pathway |
|
Classical complement pathway |
can recognize antigen directly OR antibody on antigen |
|
classical complement pathway can be triggered during ____ IR |
adaptive |
|
all 3 complement pathways converge to make ______ |
c3-convertase |
|
c3-convertase has 3 outcomes: |
1) trigger inflammation 2) opsonize pathogens 3) kill pathogens |
|
opsonization |
coat surface with chocolate, macrophages like it |
|
how does C3-convertase kill pathogens? |
Membrane Attack Complex (MAC) |
|
which number activates MAC? |
C5 convertase |
