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
|
