Activation of which cell type is a necessary first step for the induction of adaptive immunity?
antigen presenting cells
Activated macrophages secrete which cytokines?
IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, TNF-alpha
local function of cytokines
increase cell function during inflammation (other immune effectors, endothelial cells, fibroflast, and keratinocytes)
distant function of cytokines
increase function of distant organs –> elevate temp –> fever and pain
What releases chemokines?
phagocytic and dendritic cells
what are the four different families of chemokines
C, CC, CXC, CXXXC
leukocytes bind to each other or to endothelial cells via –
adhesion molecules
kinds of selectins
P and E
adhesion molecule important in initial interactions of leukocytes with endothelial cells
selectins
selectins are expressed on –
activated endothelium
binding of selectins is –
weak
adhesion molecule, – binds to sialyl lewisx (cell recognition)
selectin
types of integrins
CD11a, CD11b, CD11c, CD29
adhesion molecule that binds to other cell adhesion molecules and ECM
integrins
adhesion molecule, integrin has – binding
strong
T/F: integrins are expressed on many cells
true
which adhesion molecule binds to Ig
integrins
types of Ig superfamily
ICAM-1, ICAM-2, VCAM-1, PECAM
T/F: Ig expressed on many cells including activated endothelium
true
cytokine, TNF-alpha, is produced during inflammation and aids in containing infection but overproduction can result in
sepsis
TNF-alpha is a – cytokine with diverse functions
pluripotent
TNF-alpha as well as IL-1 and IL-6 released by phagocytes activate –
acute phase response proteins
What does acute phase response proteins like C-reactive protein bind?
phosphocholine portion of bacterial cell wall LPS
function of acute phase response proteins like C-reactive proteins
opsonization and activation of complement
