Resource summary
Innate Immunity
Antigens
Invoke immune responses (B-cell)
"Antibody generators"
WBCs
Innate: macrophages, respond to all
Adaptive: B & T cells, specific response
Skin barrier
pH
Shedding
[NaCl]
Mucous Membranes
lysozyme (attack cell wall)
lactoferrin (sequesters Fe)
Lactoperoxidase (superoxide radicals)
Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs)
Cationic peptides (highly conserved, damage bacteria pm)
1st class (a-helic, no cysteine, prod by macrophages)
Cathelicidin (LL-37)
Protect kidney in UT w/neutrophils
Humans protected by zwitterionic (0 charge) membranes
2nd class: Defensins (disulfide linked, neutrophils, epithelial)
Kill phagocytosed bact. by binding to membrane and forming pores for lysis
3rd class: larger, enriched for specific am. ac.
Histatin
In saliva, anti-fungal (c. albicans)
Bacteriocins
Produced by normal flora
Lethal to related species
Colicins (E. coli) form pores & binds to specific recptors (porins)
Complement System
Major activities
Defense against bacterial infections
Crosstalk b/w innate and adaptive immunity
Disposing waste
Opsonization
Decorating microbes with "opsonins" for recognition by phagocytic cells
Stimulates macrophages for phagocytosis
Activation of C proteins
Enzymatic cleavage
C#b proteins bind to complex
C#a proteins diffuse to be inflammatory mediators (binds to receptor)
Functions
Opsonization (C3b)
Inflammation (C#a)
Cell lysis via MAC
The Three Pathways
Alternative
Antibody-independent, initiated by foreign cell surfaces
C3 cleaves to C3 convertase
C3 convertase cleaves with C3 to C5 converstase
C5 goes to be the MAC
Lectin
Lectin or Mannose-Binding Lecting (MBL) binds to carbohydrates
2 serine protesase (MASP-1, MASP-2)
Activates with C3 and Lectin
Mannose Binding Proteins (MBP) on pathogen surfaces
Enhance phagocytosis
Classical
Initiated by forming Ag-Ab (Antigen-Antibody) complex
Part of Acquired & not as fast
Produces cleavage products that help in:
Opsonization
Chemotaxis
MAC
C1 is activated when bound to antibody
Yields C2 & C4
C4a diffuses
C2a diffuses
C4b and C2b become C3
Complement Proteins
C3b
Opsonin
C#a
Show immune cells infection site
Recruit macrophages & neutrophils
C5b
Form MAC for lysis
Pathogen Recognition
Opsonin-Independent Mechanism
Pathogen recognition, specific and non
Mediated by:
Lectin-carbohyd
Protein-protein
Hydrophob
Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs)
Detected by Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs)
Can trigger phagocytes
Toll Like Recptors (TLRs)
Signaling recptors
Recognize/bind unique PAMPS
Triggers signal to initiate host response
LPS in Gram -
Peptidoglycan in Gram +
Binding activates NFkB transcription factor (Key for Cytokine gene transcription)
Cytokine
Acts as signal molecule
Recognized by receptors on immune cell
Trigger their function
Intracellular Digestion (Phagocytosis)
Autophagy
Tags internal microbes for destruction w/Ubiquitin
Phagophore encircles
Fuse with lysosome to degrade
