Term
How are phagocytic cells attracted to a pathogen?
Definition
Microorganisms have chemotactic components.
Term
Name a type of T independent cell
Definition
phagocytic cells
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
acquired
..sike
innate
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
TLR-3 binds..?
Definition
dsRNA
Term
TLR-5 binds..?
Definition
flagellin
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
TNF alpha and IL-12
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?
Definition
TNF alpha
