2 anatomical barriers to fighting infection
1) skin
2) mucous membranes
which type of immunity consists of the "sensors"?
innate immune system
4 functions of the innate immune system
1) engulf
2) eliminate
3) induce inflammation
4) call & activate adaptive system
what the innate immune system senses (3)
1) PAMPs
2) DAMPs
3)
absence
of self markers
general TLR signal transduction pathway
TLR recognizes & binds to microbial ligand
-> IRAK1/4 complex -> TRAF -> TAK1 -> MAPK pathway +
p-IKK
->
p-I
B
->
NF-
B release & translocation to nucleus
steps in innate initiation of adaptive response
DC TLR recognizes/binds PAMPs -> migration to lymph nodes -> presentation of Ag-MHC complex + costimulatory molecules -> naive T cell activation
characteristics of T cells (4)
1) derived from thymus
2) survey surfaces of body cells
3) release lymphokines & cytotoxic mediators
4) must come in contact w/ infected cells to kill
characteristics of B cells (4)
1) derived from bone marrow
2) release antibodies
3) protect extracellular spaces (tissue fluids, blood, secretions)
4) neutralization of pathogens does not require contact with B cell
function of Th1 cells
activates cytotoxic (Tc) cells & macrophages
function of Th2 cells
activates B cells (promoting Ig production)
humoral immune response
Ab response
what B cell receptors are also known as
antibodies
lymphocyte surface/Ag receptors (2)
1) TCRs
2) B cell receptors
what is the estimated number of different Ag receptors humans are able to make?
10
14
part of pathogen recognized by lymphocyte
epitope
rate of lymphocyte doubling
6-12hrs
CTL effectors (3) & main function
1) FasL
2) perforins
3) granzymes
Main fcn: target-cell destruction
Th1 effectors (4) & main functions
1) TNF-
2) IFN-
3) GM-CSF
Main fcn
: promote macrophage activation
4) IL-2
Main fcn
: activate CTLs
Th2 effectors (4) & main function
1) CD40L
2) IL-4
3) IL-5
4) IL-6
Main fcn: B-cell activation
effector expressed by both Th1 and Th2
IL-3
CD expressed by Th cells
CD4
CD expressed on Tc cells
CD8
characteristics of Treg's (3)
1) CD4
+
CD25
+
2) IL-10 expression
3) suppress immune response (negative regulation)
major components of innate immune system (3)
1) barriers
2) phagocytes
3) pattern recognition molecules (complement, TLRs)
major components of adaptive immune system (3)
1) lymphocytes
2) Ag-specific receptors
3) Ab's
most abundant Ab in blood/tissue fluids
only Ab that can pass placenta
IgG
most important Ab in secretions (saliva, tears, milk, genitourinary fluids)
IgA
main form of Ab inserted into B cell membrane as Ag receptor
IgD
first Ab to appear in serum after immunization
very efficient at activating complement
very large (doesn't get into tissue fluids easily)
IgM
Ab that causes Type I rxn
important in resistance to parasites
IgE
