__________ 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
