38 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
2.1

immune exclusion
innate immunity presenting pathogens from growing on skin and mucosal barriers
2.2

mucins
help clump bacteria
2.3

lactoferrin
iron binding glycoprotein
2.4

cationic proteins
sweat and secretions
2.5

lysosomes contain
- lysozymes
- lactoferrin
- histatins (histidine-rich proteins)
- cationic proteins
2.6

desquamation
shedding skin carries away bacterias
2.7

defensins
soluble antimicrobial factors
2.8

functions of normal microbiota
- compete for: nutrients, receptors
- produce antagonists
- maintainence low, constant expression of MHC 11
(keep immune system primed to encounter pathogens)
- cross protective antibodiesq
2.9

PAMPs

pathogen associated molecular patterns
foreign triggers for innate immunity and can signal immune cell cytokine secretion
2.10

PAMPs for bacteria
- peptidoglycan
- nucleic acid (unmethylated CpG DNA)
- Flagellin
- Pillin
- Lipopolysaccharide (Lipid A)
- Lipoteichoic Acid
- Glycolipids
2.11

PAMPs: fungi
- mannose
- zymosan
2.12

PAMPs: viruses
- double stranded RNA
2.13

phagocytic cells
- trash collectors of the immune system
- take up pathogens
- macrophages
- monocyte

inflammation:
- polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)
- neutrophil
2.14

cells releasing inflammatory mediators
- mast cells
- eosinophils
2.15

antigen-presenting cells (APC)
- take it up, break it up, display
- dendritic cells lie below the epithelium in the dermis and are alerted to invading foreign particles
- macrophages
2.16

histamines in acute inflammation
- break capillaries to leak, releasing phagocytes and clotting factors into cound
2.17

MAC

membrane attack complexes
- poke holes in membranes of pathogens
2.18

Mannose-binding lectin (PRR)
on bacteria surfaces, pattern recognition receptor
2.19

C-reactive protein (PRR)
binds phosphocholine on bacteria
2.20

Complement components
- facilitate uptake using C36 opsonin
- make potent chemokines for reinforcement using C3a, C4a and C5a
2.21

Opsonin
coat the surface of the bacteria, make it more readily phagocytosed
2.22

interferons (IFN) alpha and beta
- produced when virally infected host product double stranded RNA
- induced other uninfected and nucleated cells to be virally resistant
- give negative feedback to infected cells
2.23

viruses, MHC I and NKs
viruses down regulate MHC I => NKs look for cells w/ too few MHC I complexes
2.24

MHC II
present breakdown products of pathogens taken up extracellularly
2.25

MHC I
- monitors cytosolic bioreplication
- present pieces of whatever is being made on the surface of the cell to alert immune system
- keeps immune system 'on' at basal levels
2.26

endocytic receptors
- PRR on the surface of phagocytes
- like a handle on the cell
- recognize lots of capsule elements found on pathogens
2.27

chemotasis
phagocyte drawn to the infection site
2.28

phagolysosome
lysosome fuses w/ phagosome
2.29

respiratory burst
- takes up O2 in the phagolysosome
- to generate O2 intermediates (H2O2)
- No produced
2.30

IL-8
- chemotactic
- recruits granulocytes and T cells to infection
2.31

IL-12
- activate NK cells
induce differentiation of CD4 T cells -> TH1 cells
2.32

acute phase response
fevers and increased production of cytokines
2.33

NK, gamma delta-T cell, CD5 beta cell
- innate immune responders
- primitive forms of lymphocytes
2.34

CD5 beta cells
- B1 cells
- protects internal body cavities
- produce IgM
2.35

Chediak-Higashi Syndrome
- failure to fuse lysosome and phagosomes to form phagolysosomes
- immune cells will take up pathogens, but can't destroy them
2.36

IL-1 and TNF-alpha
- vascular endothelium to make them more leaky
- allowing other inflammatory and immune molecules access to the infection
- intracellular killing deficiency
2.37

chronic granulomatous disease
- failure to form killing agents in lysosomes
- no respiratory burst
- intracellular killing deficiency

- defect in the NADPH oxidase system -> failure to produce a superoxide radical
- deficiency of G6P dehydrogenase -> failure of respiratory burst
- deficiency of myeloperoxidase -> failure to produce halide oxidizing agents
2.38

leukocyte adhesion deficiency
- lack of cell adhesion molecules - WBC can't bind endothelium to be pulled out of blood
- infection in tissue, but don't see any inflammatory cells - all still in blood vessels.
