  • Front
  • Back

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
