what is the course of a typical acute infection:
1. 2. 3. 4. |
1. establishment of infection
2. non-adaptive phase kicks in after pathogens exceed threshold level and get induction of adaptive response 3. adaptive immune response (pathogen is cleared) 4. immunological memory |
|
what are the 4 broad categories of human pathogens:
1. 2. 3. 4. |
1. bacteria
2. fungi 3. viruses 4. parasites |
|
extracellular pathogens are accessible to soluble molecules that include:
1. 2. 3. 4. |
1. antibodies
2. complement 3. antimicorbial peptides 4. phagocytosis |
|
intracellular pathogens are kill by:
1. 2. (hint: method) |
1. destruction of the infected cell
2. respiratory burst |
|
exotoxin or endotoxin release causes ... to secrete ... causing a local or systemic reaction
|
phagocytes
cytokines |
|
if skin or mucosal layer is compromised allowing pathogens in, the local infection immediately induces the ... response and pathogens are engulfed and destroyed by ... and ...
|
innate immune
neutrophils macrophages |
|
inflammation results from the induction of ... and ... in the early induced response by ... and ...
|
cytokines
acute phase proteins macrophage complement |
|
... immunity is engaged only when the inflammatory process has failed to eliminate the pathogen
|
adaptive
|
|
Early induced response/inflammation are activated a ... after appearance of infection
Adaptive response generated ... after initial infection |
few hours
several days to weeks |
|
Failure to eliminate pathogens results in the ... and is initiated in ... tissues
|
adaptive response
secondary lymphoid |
|
Cells of the innate and adaptive immune systems work ... to clear the infection
|
collaboratively
|
|
... is the movement of leukocytes out of the circulatory system, towards the site of tissue damage or infection
|
extravasation
|
|
what are the steps of extravasation:
1. 2. 3. 4. |
1. rolling adhesion
2. tight binding 3. diapedesis 4. migration |
|
in extravasation, what happens in the following steps:
1. rolling adhesion 2. tight binding 3. diapedesis 4. migration |
1. weak binding of L-selectins that are found on lymphocytes
2. LFA-1 (lymphocytes) and ICAMs (endothelium) binding 3. lymphocytes cross the blood vessel wall helped by adhesion molecules and chemokines 4. lymphocytes move into T cell zones |
|
Effector cells change their surface molecules:
once the cell becomes an effector T cell their surface expression of ...(adhesion molecule) decreases instead the effector T cells express ..., an integrin that binds ... on ... of ... in infected and inflamed tissues |
L-selectin
VLA-4 VCAM-1 endothelial cells blood vessels |
|
the CD45?? isotype is expressed on naïve T cells
the CD45?? isotype is expressed on effector cells |
RA
Ro |

Within ... days of an antigen appearing in a lymph node, it has been bound by its ...
... days after the arrival of the antigen, ... cells emigrate from the lymph node into the periphery |
two
naïve antigen specific T cell Five activated effector |
|
choose (protective immunity; immunological memory; primary immune response)
1. adaptive immune response to an initial exposure to antigen 2. resistance to specific infection that follows infection or vaccination 3. if an antigen is encountered more than once, the immune response to each subsequent encounter is speedier and more effective |
1. primary immune response
2. protective immunity 3. immunological memory |
