innate immunity

A

no specificity, linked to adaptive immunity, molecular pattern recognition receptors (eg. Toll like receptors) which recognize molecules unique and critical to microbes (proteins we don’t have), or cellular stress proteins (like heat shock proteins)

25
B cell receptors
unique receptors, surface IgM and IgD ab is the ag binding moiety
26
B cell non variable accessory molecules
Ig alpha and Ig beta (CD79 a and b) similar to CD3 molecuels that help transduce the signal
27
B cells have receptors for
complement, Fc, and CD40
28
Bcells have abundant
C'2 receptors (CD21) which is the receptor for EBV
29
B cell markers
CD19, CD20, CD22
30
B cell activation
B cells are activated by a number of ag but mostly require T-cells for a robust response (especially protein ag), some ag are T independent
31
T cells secrete
stimulatory cytokines for b cells, and express the ligand for CD40.
32
B cell T cell interaction via CD 40
essential for secretion of IgG A E (hyper-IgM syndrome)
33
B cell signals
Signal 1-- Ab-Ag w/ Igbeta &alpha, Signal 2--CD 21 - complement - Ag
34
Antibodies
IgM, G (subtypes IgG1, IgG2), IgA, IgE, Each Ab is specific for a single antigenic determinant, diversity achieved through gene rearrangement (RAG1 and 2)
35
how can you tell if you have B cell leukemia and not just an infection
the antiboides will all be the same in B cell leukemia bc the b cells are monoclonal
36
IgM structure
like a star of 5 Abs
37
IgG, D, E structure
a sing Y shaped structure
38
Ig A structure
two Abs
39
IgE
binds to receptors on mast cells, histamine released when Ag is bound, works with eosinophils to kill works, responsible for hay fever and anaphylactic shock
40
IgA
secreted onto mucosal surfaces -- if there is an IgA deficiency pt will survive and is often non symptomatic bc back up systems work well in this case
41
how does the hep B vaccine work
first injection produces an IgM response that takes 3-4w to subside (need to wait till these Ab go down before you give the next dose to ensure that the initial Abs don_t eat up the 2nd dose of the vaccine), the second dose is small to produce a highly selective subset of ab with the higherst affinity, and the 3rd shot is to boost titer leves so you have Ab floating around that can respond if necessary. Need to check titers even if vaccinated to ensure that you have ab floating around and are protected
42
The mononuclear Phagocyte System
monocytes, macrophages, Kupffer cells, microglia, mesangial cells, DCs, langerhans cells, major interaction in adaptive immunity is Ag presentation, Dendritic cells are professional APC especially for primary responses. Macrophages can present ag but usually recall Ags/ ones that you've seen before
43
Monocyte becomes
a resident macrophage or an activated macrophage, remember they have the ability fo fine tune their functions so they can function without damaging self
44
IFN gamma and LPS
alone they both produce a response (IFN>LPS), but together they are synergistic meaning when you have both you'll have stronger responses even if at lower doses
45
TLR2
ligand--lipoproteins, peptidoglycan, zymosan, LPS, GPI anchor, Lipoarabinomannan, Phosphatidylinositol dimannosied, Microbial source--Bacteria, Gram positive bacteria, Fungi, Leptospira, Trypanosomes, Mycobacteria
46
TLR 3
Ligand--DS RNA, Microbial source --Viruses
47
TLR 4
Ligand --LPS, HSF00, Microbial source--Gr neg bacteria, Chlamydia
48
TLR 5
Ligand--flagellin, Microbial source--various bacteria
49
TLR 6
ligand--CpG DNA, Microbial source--bacteria, protozoans
50
Activated Macrophages
increased surface expressin of Class II MHC, increased phagocytosis, incresaed secretion of O2-, H2O2, proteases etc, increased secretion of cytokines (esp TNF, IL1, 12, 8, and sometiems IL 10), Secretion of NO, Increased killing of intracellular pathogens, increased ADCC, killing of some types of tumor cells
51
ADCC
ab dep cellmediated cytotoxicity -- monocytes activated, target cells coated with AB, they can kill (NK cells do this)
52
slide 30??
Macs--classical IL12, Exposure to Steroids, IL4, or immune complexes IL10; T cells --IFN gamma and Th1, IL4 and TH2
53
Dendritic cells
1 DC can present to many T cells due to all its dendrites
54
Types of dendritic cells
interdigitating DCs (or just DC), Follicular DC
55
Interdigitating DCs (or just DC)
located throughout body at portals of entry, Ag capture receptors, express same chemokine receptors as T cells recruited to T cell areas of lymphid organs, high levels of MHC II and costimulatory molecues so Ag presented to CD4 cells -- only takes 15 seconds to get DC going to LN
56
Follicular DCs
in splenic and LN follicles, Fc and C3b receptors--capture Ab bound Ag, APC to B-cells and selection for inc affinity
57
NK cells
aka the larger granular lymphocyte, have innate ability to kill virally infected cells and some tumor cells, 10-15% of circulating lymphocytes, CD3 negative but CD16 (Fc receptor) positive thus perfroming ADCC and CD56 positive, NK cells kill virally infected cellls that have low MHC I molecule, increased MHC I inhibits NK cells, NK cells recognize certain stress proteins not normally expressed on cells unless virally infected
58
NK cells work by
secreting IFN gamma and TNF, IFN gamma activates macrophages and induces CD4 cells to differentiate toward TH1 responses, virally infected cells and newly formed tumor cells often have low MHC 1 molecules and certain stress/triggering molecuels on surface
59
cytokines and chemokines
communication molecules of the immune response
60
innate immunity cyto/chemo kines
TNF alpha, IL 1, 6, IFN alpha, beta
61
Lymphocyte activation and growth cyto/chemokines
IL 2, 4, 5, 12, 15, TGF beta, IL 10
62
Activation of inflammatory cells cyto/chemokines
IFN gamma, TNF alpha and beta, IL 17, 22
63
Stimulation of hematopoesis cyto/chemokines
GM-CSF, M-CSF
64
Leukocyte movement cyto/chemokines
CXC or C-C: IL8 and MCP1
65
MHC
major histocompattibility complex, class I and II, major antigenic determinants on tissues, necessary for humoral and cellular immune responses,
66
where are MHC genes coded
all coded from a small region on chromosome 6 called the MHC complex
67
MHC function
MCH domains and peptides are highly polymorphic, many alleles in the population, major function is to display antigens, polymorphism associated with binding of different antigens, diversity ensures in whole population all ag can be presented (but not by all individuals), no 2 individuals have the same MHC haplotype so transplantation is a problem
68
MHC I domains
alpha 2 alpha 1, alpha 3, beta2 microblobulin
69
MHCII domaines
alpha1 beta1, alpha2 beta 2
70
Class I MHC
present on all nucleated cells in body including platelets, a major transplantation barrier, HLA (human leukocyte antigetn), Three loci HLA-A, B, C, Binds and presents intracellular ag---mainly viruses that we are concerned about
71
MHC I restricted functions
MCH has to bind self CD8 in order to kill, if it has nonself CD8 it won't kill
72
Why do we have MHC restricted functions
bc during a viral infection, the virus sheds proteins, those proteins coat cells. T-cells are not just going to kill a protein coated cell bc there would be no purpose in that. It wants to kill a cell that is infected. So to know it is infected the particles must be presented on MHC I.
73
Class II MHC
on macrophages, dendritic cells, and some B-cells, major transplantation barrier, HLA-D region, subregions DP, DQ and DR, Major role -- Processed exogenous ag presentation. Karatinocytes can start expressing class II but under most cases MHC II is only on APCs. binds CD4 T cells.
74
Mac/DC stimulates T cells by producing
IL1 and IL12
75
T cell stimulates Mac/DC bye producing
IFN gamma
76
CD4 T cells self stimulate by
IL2
77
CD4 T cells also produce
IL2 for B cell factors, and other T cell factors
78
Macs/DCs also produce
TNF and other chemical mediators
79
Costimulatory molecules on APC
B7 1 and 2 (CD80 and 86), CD40
80
Costimulatory molecules on CD4 t cell
CD 28 and CD40L
81
Why do we need MHC restriction and Costimulation
they help us select for clones that don't react to self in the thymic epithelia and BM
82
Diseases Associated with HLA
inflammatory diseases --Ankylosing spondylitis, HLA-B27 have 90 fold inc chance of disease, Metabolic genetic disease several metabolic genes map within HLA locus, Autoimmune disease MHCI and II associations
