Q

Between innate (inflamatory) response and adaptive response which is faster?

A

Innate- activation is immediate post tissue damage ([Mast cell, Histamine and other Cytokine responses]
Vascular events and s/s of inflammation.

Adaptive response is slower- [7-14 days] and induced by
infection/damage in response to the innate immunity
via lymphocytes and antibodies

Q

what happens to produces mediators of immune respones in both innate and adaptive response

A

Innate immunity: The residual mediators of inflammation can damage surrounding healthy tissue and need to be removed
to support healing

Adaptive immunity: the products of adaptive immunity are long-lived and systemic providing long-term immune protection
[memory response] against the specific pathogen

Q

What happens in case of reinfection in innate and adaptive immune response

A

Innate: Recurrent injury/infection this response is identical to
the initial injury/infection

Adaptive:
Re-infection triggers very specific
lymphocytes/antibodies immediately assuring faster
and longer-term protection/management of
pathogen

29
What is the process of Humoral immunity
Macrophage [presenting antigen [pieces of the organism] on their surface carried by major histocompatibility complex type 2 [MHC 2] * Neutrophils exocytosis their antigens into the extracellular fluid [called FREE ANTIGENS] * Both move into the lymphatic system in which there are many “naïve” B and T-lymphocytes [with multiple receptors] * B-lymphocyte and T-lymphocyte process from “naïve” to “activated” * How they interact with each other to produce differentiated B-memory cells and Plasma cells
30

40
activated B lymphocyte undergo phagocytosis, engulf antigen attached to the receptor on its cytoplasmic space in a what
endosome
41
When is B cell considered activated?
When the nucleolus of B lymphocyte chromosome ##6 identifies and attach to the receptor (in endosome) and create MHC2 that present antigen on surface of B cell, creating an antigen precenting cell
42
MCH 2 with antigen presents the antigen to what cell?
naive T lymphocyte also known as T helper cells
43
What is specific recombination
the T-cell can shuffle the receptors on the surface of the cell to find one that specifically fits the antigen being presented and then attaches itsef.
44
True or false The T-cell receptor [TCR] are specific to types of antigens
True
45
What are the 5 proteins on naive T lymphocutes
1. T cell receptor 2. Cluster differnetiation 4 (CD4) 3. Cluster Differentiation 3 (CD3) 4. Cluster differentiation28 (CD 28) 5. Interleukin 1. (IL1)
46
What is the function of T cell receptor (TCR)
bind directly onto the antigen being presented
47
Whats the function of CD4?
. Cluster Differentiation 4 (CD4) binds to the MHC2 presenting molecule on the macrophage,
48
Whats the function of CD3
Cluster Differentiation 3 (CD3) which is attached and activated by the CD4 binding to the macrophage and MHC2 binding to the antigen
49
whats the function of CD 28
Cluster Differentiation 28 (CD 28) that binds to macrophage B7 molecule found on surface [acts to anchor] and nucleus signaling system
50
What is the function of IL1
Macrophage release Interleukin 1 (IL1) when transporting an antigen, the T-cell has a receptor that captures this Interleukin 1 and uses it for 3rd signaling
51
What is primary signalling
The MHC2 antigen and CD4/macrophage are attached to the “naïve” T-lymphocyte [helper cell] this triggers the CD3 signals to the nucleus
52
Whats is secondary (co-stimulation) signaling:
Secondary [co-stimulation] signaling: CD28 attached to macrophage B7 and this signals to the nucleus
53
What is 3rd (co-stimulation) signaling
When IL1 from the macrophage binds to the T-cell receptors for IL1 this signals to the nucleus also
54
Nuclues stimulation causes T cells to release what key substances
1. Humoral (Th2 cells) 2. Cell mediated (Th1 cells) 3. Suppress the immune responses (T regulatory cells or self turn off switch) 4. Th17 cells part of the inflammatory process
55
Humoral [Th2 cells]
1. IL 4 which stimulates the T-helper cell to turn into Th2 cells [this mature activated cell continues to produce more IL2 IL4 and IL5] 2. IL 5 which stimulates differentiation of activated B-cells 3. IL 6 which stimulate differentiated plasma cells to carry out their antibody work
56
Cell-mediated Immunity [Th1 cells]
IL-12 which produces Th1 cells and stimulates TNF beta, IL 2 and IFN [interferons]
57
Suppress the Immune Response [T regulatory cells or self turn off switch]
IL 2 which continues to stimulate the T-helper cell [autocrine “self stimulation”] to help proliferation and replication into Th2 cells
58
Activated T helper 2 cell producing IL4 stimulate activated B lymphocyte (activated B- cell) to start excessive what
CLONAL EXPANSION
59
Proliferation produce new B cells that have surface MHC2 receptor and IgD specific for what antigen?
Antigen captured when it was naive B cell
60
After expansion, IL5 take the proliferated activated B cells (with specific receptors on their surface for the foreign antigen) and stimulate them to undergo what
DIFFERENCIATION
61
Differenciation result in what
Memory B cells ( specific for the antigen) and Plasma cells [note: IL5 with IL6 will stimulate the plasma cell to secrete very specific antibodies into the blood for the antigen]
62
antibody floating in plasma can do the following
1. neutralization reaction 2. Lysis 3. Direct or indirect Opsionization 4. Precipitation reaction 5. Agglutination reaction
63
Antibodies binds to all the receptors on the pathogen surface [blocking its ability to bind to human cells] causing
NEUTRALIZATION REACTION
64
Antibody binds to a receptor on the pathogen surface triggering the COMPLEMENT CASCADE SYSTEM that were able to produce several C proteins which produce a membrane attack complex [MAC] which attack the membrane of the bacteria resulting in what?
LYSIS REACTION of the bacterial cells
65
Indirectly: Antibody bind directly to the antigen/pathogens surface triggers the COMPLEMENT CASCADE SYSTEM to have produce C-proteins thus C3b receptors that triggers the macrophage [have C3b receptors] and phagocytosis/eat the antigen/pathogen
OPSONIZATION
66
Directly: Antibodies bind directly to the antigen/pathogen surface and just directly triggers macrophage to phagocytosis/eat the antigen/pathogen
OPSONIZATION
67
Antibodies binds to a free antigen causing
PRECIPITATION REACTION which enhance opsonization
68
* Over reaction of precipitation reactions triggers hypersensitivity, precipitate deposits into normal tissue trigger what type of hypersensitivity
Type 3 hypersensitivity, autoimmunity reaction e.g Systemic lupus erythromatosus
69
Incompatible blood [RBC] [transfusion or maternal/fetal incompatibility] antibodies that bind to these RBC antigens on the surface of the incompatible blood [see them as foreign bodies] to attack them
AGGLUTINATION REACTION
70
What are the functions of antibody
Direct - Neutralization - Agglutination [alloimmunity] - Precipitation [autoimmunity] Indirect - Inflammation - Phagocytosis - Complement [Lysis reaction, Opsonization)
71
Cell mediated immunity means
* Cell mediated antigen/problems inside the cell or endogenous protein * Viral proteins/Cancerous proteins invaded cell in which the cell itself is being damaged – non-reversible * Because it is not reversible then T-cytotoxic cells must kill the infected cell itself
72
73
What are the 2 main surface protein of T cytotoxic cells
Protein cluster differentiation 8 CD8 which recognizes MHC1 molecule receptor and bind to it Has T receptor (TCR) that recognizes self antigen on thr MHC1 that will bind to the self antigen ( this can trigger autoimmune response and damage own tissue cells)
74
What are the 2 substances produced by T cells which help in killing pathogens
1. Perforins which puncture holes in cellular membrane of infected cells 2. Granzymes moves into these puntured holes and goes into the nucleus of infected cells to trigger pro-apoptosis gene
75
Are natural killer cells part of adaptive immunity
No
76
What’s the difference between cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells
Natural killer cells function like the T cytotoxic cells but outside the adaptive immunity
77
What are the 3 ways natural killer cells kill
1. If no MHC1 molecule on the cell surface (ie lack of self antigens) 2. MICA- polymorphic protein that induces stess, damage or transformation to a cell which acts as kill me signal for natural killer cells 3. IgG on the surface of a pathogen infected cell
78
NK cells kills by
Releasing releasing perforins (puncture holes in cell membrane), granzymes (enter holes and trigger nucleus to release pro apoptosis gene Pro apoptosis gene BAX pulls out thr BCL2 location in the membranes of mitochondria resulting in destruction of cell inside out
79
