Q

“Classical” IFN induction pathway - 1st Wave

A

Virus attaches to cell -> Introduces PAMPS into cell e.g. dsRNA -> recognised by PRRs eg RIG-I or PKR in the cytosol -> Activates signalling cascade eg IFR-3 or NFkB -> TFs form complexes which migrate to nucleus -> induces transcription of IFN-beta -> IFN-beta released from cell

Alternatively dsRNA can be recognised by TLR3 on the cell surface.

Q

“Classical” IFN induction pathway - 2nd wave

A

IFN-beta released from infected cell -> IFNAR present on surface of neighbouring cells -> triggers activation of JAKSTAT pathway (phosphorylated JAK phosphorylate STAT, dimerise) -> forms complex with IRF9 to create ISGF3 -> translocate to nucleus -> binds to ISRE present on ISGs to activate them -> produce proteins with antiviral activity eg ISG20, Mx proteins, OAS proteins
Cytokines and chemokines released amplify the response - immune and interferon

Q

Virus IFN targets

A

->IFN induction pathway - RIG-I
-> basic transcription - IFN a/b
-> IFN signalling pathway - STAT 1/2
-> IFN effectors - PKR, OAS, Mx

17
Q

Role of Type I IFN system (IFN α/β)

A

Major player in antiviral defence
Secreted in response to viral infection
Induce expression of potent antiviral mechanisms

18
Q

Virus ability to block type I IFN system
determines …

A

Virulence
Interspecies transmission

19
Q

Modulation of extracellular innate immune system is mainly achieved by

A

Release of viral chemokine modulatory proteins

20
Q

Chemokine network regulates(4):

A

Leukocyte locomotion
T cell differentiation
Angiogenesis
Mast cell degranulation

Tight control vital for proper immune function
Virus encoded genes modulate chemokine network

21
Q

Chemokines and their classes

A

~47 known chemokines, 19 known chemokine receptors. 8-10 kDa

4 classes of chemokines, based on location of 2 cys residues
CXC (alpha) – soluble
CC (beta) – soluble
C (gamma) – soluble
CX3C (delta) – membrane-bound

22
Q

Virus immune stealth and virus immune activation by chemokines

A

Immune stealth
Blocking/modulation of chemokine function
Prevents clearance of virus-infected cells

Immune activation
Expression of virus-encoded chemokines or chemokine receptors
Provides a window for virus dissemination

23
Q

Virus interference in the regulation of the chemokine network

A

Virus-encoded cytokines
Modulate host chemokine responses

Virus-encoded chemokines, receptors or decoy- receptors
Induce chemotaxis - Virus dissemination
Block chemotaxis (e.g., chemokine scavenging) - Survival of infected cells

Virus-encoded chemokine binding proteins
Block interaction with GAGs and/or chemokine receptors

Regulation of chemokine processing
Protease modulating proteins

24
Q

Viruses interfere with chemokine receptors and ligands via

A

Cytokine homologs
Chemokine decoy receptors
Chemokine-binding proteins
Putative chemokine-processing proteases
Viral chemokine and chemokine receptor homologs

25
Q

Alternative methods of virus mediated interference is through, inhibition of _______ ________ by _______ _______ that inhibit chemokine interaction with proteoglycans

A

chemokine oligomerisation

secreting proteins

26
Q

MHC Class I assembly and transport (1,2,3)

A

Epitopes need to be presented to viral - adaptive immune
Virus enters cell -> some directed to proteasome -> broken down into peptides -> form complex with calretilculin, TAP1 and TAP2 -> introduced to MHC Class 1 groove -> enters Golgi -> transported to cell membrane -> acts as flag for Tc cells specific to this epitope

27
Q

HIV nef protein down regulates…

A

Down-regulates MHC expression on infected cells - diminishes adaptive immune response

Redistributes CD80 and CD86 away from cell surface in APCs
- Functionally significant
- Compromises activation of naïve T cells

28
Q

Measles virus immune suppression x5

A

Reduction of ability of T cells to proliferate - secondary infections - compromised immune system

Lymphocyte apoptosis lymphopenia
Impaired lymphoproliferation
Immunomodulatory cytokines - Increased IL-10 and IL-4 => dampens immune response
IL-12 downregulation =>modulates immune response
Impaired ability of immature DCs to mature - impaired antigen presentation - decreased differentiation

29
Q

Species-specific PBMC proliferation reduction by RSV

A

Human PBMC stimulated by PHA -> proliferate
hRSV F - massive reduction in proliferation - block proliferation of T cells

Bovine PBMC stimulated by PHA -> proliferate
bRSV F - massive reduction in proliferation - block proliferation of T cells

Human blocks human. Bovine blocks bovine. DO NOT CROSS. No species cross over => species specificity

30
Q

When do we need to modulate lymphocyte clonal expansion?

A

Poor memory T cell pool

Poor recall responses to re-infection

31
Q

Virus interference in the regulation of the
chemokine network (1-6)

A

1) Cytokines control expression of chemokine receptors and chemokine secretion

2) Secereted chemokines
- bind to chemokine receptors
- activate intracellular signaling pathways

3) A gradient of monomeric chemokines induce chemotaxis of receptor-bearing cells

4) Chemokine oligomerization on cell-surface glycsoaminoglycans - leukocyte arrest

5) Secreted chemokines are scavenged by decoy- receptors. Can induce or block Chemotaxis

6) Alternatively, processed by proteolytic enzymes - generates peptides that have neutral, antagonistic or agonistic effects on chemokine receptors.

32
Q

What is IRF-3?

A

A transcription promoter

33
Q

Measles

A

4 days to 4 weeks
Most infective disease known to humans
0.1-1%die
Sequelae: sub-acute sclerosis encephalitis 7-10years post-infection => fatal
