__________ cells are the main source of defensins in the intestine, located in the _________
|
panneth; crypts
|
|
______________ inhibits bacterial proteases by eshrouding them (like a protease fly trap)
|
alpha2-macroglobulin
|
|
___________ acquire antigen, migrate to lymph nodes and present the antigen to T cells
|
macrophages
|
|
__________ are the cell surface receptors on macrophages that recognize pathogens
|
TLRs (toll-like receptors)
|
|
TLR_____ heterodimer detects bacterial peptidoglycan and lipoproteins
|
1-2
|
|
TLR___ heterodimer detects double stranded viral RNA
|
3
|
|
TLR____ heterodimer detects Gram negative bacteria
|
4
|
|
A __________ phagocytizes bacteria and then soon dies. It is then engulfed by __________
|
neutrophil; macrophages
|
|
________: a genetic defect in beta2 integrins results in a defect in white blood cell migration to sites of infection; lymphocytes are still able to home to lymphoid tissues (beta1 integrins are intact)
|
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD)
|
|
CGD, G6PD deficiency and Myeloperoxidase defeciency would result in a defective _________ _________
|
respiratory burst
|
|
________________________: vesicle fusion in phagocytes is defective
|
Chediak-Higashi Syndrome
|
|
NK cells produce a _______ (early/late) response to virus
|
early
|
|
NK cells distinguish __________ from _________
|
self; nonself
|
|
NK cells detect when abnormal ligands are present and when normal ligands are absent (true/false)
|
true
|
|
____________-mediated adhesion allows the neutrophil to roll along the vascular endothelial surface
|
selectin
|
|
rolling adhesion of neutrophils is followed by __________, _________ and lastly _____________
|
tight binding; diapedesis; migration
|
|
in tight binding, _________ on the neutrophil surface binds to _________ on the vascular endothelium
|
LFA-1; ICAM-1
|
|
Neutrophils are guided to the site of infection by sensing what chemokine?
|
CXCL8 (IL-8)
|
|
Which pro-inflammatory cytokine, when released systemically, can cause death via septic shock?
|
TNF-alpha
|
|
__________ secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines upon sensing microbial products
|
macrophages
|
|
what three pro-inflammatory cytokines induce acute phase protein production in hepatocytes?
|
IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-1
|
|
Increased body temp fights infection how?
|
decreased viral and bacterial replication, more effective immune response
|
|
___________ binds mannose-containing carbohydrates of bacteria, fungi, protozoans and viruses
|
MBL (mannose binding lectin)
|
|
__________ and __________ enhance the fixation of complement at the pathogen surface
|
CRP (C-reactive protein); MBL (mannose binding lectin)
|
|
___________ binds the phosphocholine component of lipopolysaccharides in bacterial and fungal cell walls
|
CRP (C-reactive protein)
|
|
virus infected cells are stimulated to produce type ___ interferons
|
1
|
|
what is the major type 1 interferon producing cell in the blood?
|
plasmacytoid DC
|
|
What the functions of the interferon response?
|
induce resistance to viral replication in all cells; increase expression of ligands for receptors on NK cells; activate NK cells to kill virus-infected cells
