Innate Immune Defences & Inflammation 2: The Induced Response Flashcards
(183 cards)
Cells of the innate & adaptive immune system
- The discovery of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) is blurring the traditional boundaries between innate and adaptive immune systems. Invariant natural killer T cells, some B cells at epithelial barriers (B1 cells) and gamma delta T cells have innate qualities whereas NK cells may adapt after their first encounter with a pathogen due to innate immune memory. T and B cells also have innate immune receptors such as TLRs.

Innate immune cells
- What cells are involved? What do they do?
- Neutrophils - Phagocytosis, Antimicrobial peptides, Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species
- Macrophages - Phagocytosis, Antimicrobial peptides, Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, Inflammatory mediators, antigen presentation, cytokines, complement proteins
- Dendritic cells - Antigen presentation, Costimulatory signals, Reactive oxygen species, Interferon, Cytokines
- Natural Killer cells - Lysis of viral-infected cells, Interferon, Macrophage activation, Granzyme, Perforin

What are the functions of a neutrophil?
- Phagocytosis, Antimicrobial peptides, Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species

What are the functions of a macrophage?
- Phagocytosis, Antimicrobial peptides, Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, Inflammatory mediators, antigen presentation, cytokines, complement proteins

What are the functions of dendritic cells?
- Antigen presentation, Costimulatory signals, Reactive oxygen species, Interferon, Cytokines (Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (DCs) are of lymphoid origin, Myeloid DCs are of myeloid origin - plasmacytoid DCs produce large amounts of type 1 IFN whereas for myeloid DCs the main role is antigen presentation)
