What are the roles of the immune system?
Defense against infections

The immune system recognizes and responds to tissue grafts and newly introduced proteins and altered self proteins

Defense against tumors
Who developed a successful vaccination against small pox using cow pox in 1789?
Edward Jenner
In 1980 WHO announced that this disease was the first disease that had been eradicated worldwide by a program of vaccination
Smallpox
Initial defense

Phylogenetically the oldest, co-evolved with microbes

Always present and ready to attack

No memory, many pathogens have evolved to resist this
Innate immunity
Develops later

Appeared first in jawed vertebrates

Stimulated on exposure to microbe, more potent

Memory for future encounters by same pathogens
Adaptive immunity
Epithelial barriers, phagocytes, compliments and NK cells are all a part of what type of immunity?
Innate immunity
B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, Antibodies, and effector T cells are all a part of what type of immunity?
Adaptive immunity
Initial response to microbes, essential early mechanism to prevent, control or eliminate infection
Innate immunity
Initial response to injured tissues and dead cells, critical for repair and wound healing
Innate immunity
This has a limited response to inflammation and antiviral states
Innate immunity
Does innate immunity stimulate adaptive immunity?
yes
Components of this, which is present at birth, participate in prevention of infection and inflammation
Innate immunity
Barriers, circulating effector cells ans circulating effector proteins are components of what?
Innate immunity
Epithelial layers, defensins (peptide antibodies) and intraepithelial lymphocytes that are used to prevent microbe entry and used for microbe killing make up what?
Barriers of innate immunity
What cells are the first responders of the immune system?
Neutrophils
Neutrophils, mast cells, platelets, endothelial cells, macrophages, dendrictic cells, and NK cells that function for early phagocytosis and killing of microbes, secretion of cytokines that stimulate inflammation, lysis of infected cells and activation of macrophages are all part of what?
Circulating effector cells of the innate immune system
Complements (cytokines IL1, TNF, Chemokines IL8, MPC1), Marnose-binding lectin, C-reactive protein, and coagulation factors function to kill microbes, opsonization of microbes, activation of leukocytes, activation of compliment and walling off of infected tissues are all part of what?
Circulating effector proteins of innate immunity
Structures that are shared by various classes of microbes but are not present on host cells
Pathogen associated molecular patterns - PAMPs
This often targets molecules that are essential for survival or infectivity of microbes to prevent escape of mutants
Innate immunity
Structures found in/pn stressed, dying or damaged host cells
Damage associated molecular patterns - DAMPs
In innate immunity, what is recognized?
PAMPs and DAMPs
What are the danger sensing molecules of innate immunity?
PAMPs and DAMPs
Surface or cytosolic ________ recognize structures that are characteristic of microbial pathogens/altered self and are present on mammalian cells. They are expressed by macrophages, monocytes, dendrictic cells, neutrophils, B cells and epithelial cells.
Pattern recognition receptors - PRRs
dsRNA, LPS, Unmethylated CpG mucleotides, N-formylmethionyl peptides, Mannose-rich glycans, and phosphorylcholine are all types of what?
PAMPs
Toll like receptors, N-formylmethionyl peptide receptors, macrophage mannose receptors, plasma mannose-binding lectin and plasma C-reacctive protein are all examples of what?
PRR's
Where can PRRs like TLR and NODs be found?
Surface, endosomal, or in the cytoplasm
Which TRLs are on the surface?
TLR - 1,2,6,4 & 5
Which TLRs are endosomal?
TLR - 3, 7, 8, 9
Which NODs are cytoplasmic sensors?
NOD - 1,2, and RIG-1
Which TLRs are the most important bcasue the sense Gram + and Gram - bacteria? Where are they found?
TLR 2 and 4

On the surface
Which NOD is associate with Chrone's disease? Where is it found?
NOD 2, cytoplasmic sensor, bind to peptidoglycans from Gram + bacteria
Which PRR is associated with Hep C?
RIG-1 binds to HCV RNA
Surface TLRs that sense bacterial cell walls and molecules
TLR 1,2,6
Surface TLR that binds to peptidoglycans of Gram + bacteria
TLR 2
Surface TLR that binds to LPSS of Gram - bacteria
TLR 4
Surface TLR that binds to flaggellin of various bacteria
TLR 5
Endosomal TLR that binds to viral ds-RNA
TLR 3
Endosomal TLR that binds to ss-viral RNA
TLR 7 and TLR 8
Endosomal TLR that binds to bacterial unmethylated cpg DNA and viral DNA
TLR 9
Cytoplasmic sensor that binds to bacterial peptidoglycans from Gram - bacteria
NOD 1
Cytoplasmic sensor that binds to peptidoglycans from Gram + bacteria
NOD 2
Cytoplasmic viral sensor that binds to HCV RNA
RIG-1
All of these activate similar signaling pathways on recognition of microbial ligands: Activation of transcription factors result in expression of genes for cytokine/chemokine production
TLRs
These are produced by all cells of the body, communication signals
Cytokines and chemokines
Used for cytokine production, activates adheasion molecules
NFkB
A Type 1 interferon that blocks viral replication
IRF-3
