Term
How are phagocytic cells attracted to a pathogen? |
|
Definition
Microorganisms have chemotactic components. |
|
|
Term
Name a type of T independent cell |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
How do pathogens produce chemotactic components |
|
Definition
Alternative pathway: LPS (endotoxin) activation of complement produces chemotactic molecules which attract phagocytes. |
|
|
Term
How do phagocytes bind microorganisms |
|
Definition
Via receptors for complement components. The microorganism is then phagocytosed |
|
|
Term
What type of cells and receptors recognize LPS? |
|
Definition
Receptors: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) on the cells: PMNs and macrophages |
|
|
Term
What cells are mannose receptors found on and how do the bind? |
|
Definition
Bind mannose and fructose on microbial glycoproteins and glycolipids. Mannose receptors on MACs and further activate MACs when bound. |
|
|
Term
Name 3 types of receptors on phagocytic cells such as MACs. |
|
Definition
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) Mannose receptors Scavenger receptors |
|
|
Term
For acquired immunity, cells recognize detail (specific) structure of antigen (epitope). For innate immunity cells recognize ? ? |
|
Definition
PAMPS, "pathogen-associated molecular patterns", shared by classes of microbes.
example: mannose receptors recognize mannose, which is common on microbial glycolipids. Or TLR which recognizes complement components (which were activated by LPS endotoxin) |
|
|
Term
CMI is part of what type of immunity |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
* On the MAC, what type of PAMP does TLR-4 recognize and then signal presence? |
|
Definition
It recognizes LPS by binding to CD14. TLR-4 is called the MAC LPS receptor. |
|
|
Term
* What does TLR-2 signal presence of |
|
Definition
1. Peptidoglycans from Gram + bacteria 2. Lipoproteins 3. Lipoarabinomannan (mycobacteria) |

Term
What occurs after phagocytosis? |
|
Definition
1. phagosome-lysosome fusion 2. intracellular killing (via degrative enzymes from lysosome) |
|
|
Term
* Which cytokines up regulate the phagocytic and antimicrobial activities of MACs and PMNs. And stimulate NK release of interferon gamma. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
The combo of cytokine stimulation plus receptor recognition of microbial products results in the production of..? |
|
Definition
ROIs and nitric oxide.
These plus lysosmal enzymes kill pathogen.
ROIs are reactive oxygen intermediates. Nitric oxide comes from stimulation of iNOS |
|
|
Term
What cytokine release stimulates adhesion of phagocytes to the endothelial lining of blood vessels? |
