Presentation Transcript

  1. Innate Immune Response (Ch14)

  2. Overview of Innate Defense System

  3. First lines of Defense • Physical Barriers • Skin • Mucous membranes • Antimicrobial substances • Lysozyme • Peroxidase enzyme • Lactoferrin • Defensins • Normal Flora

  4. Epithelial Barriers

  5. Skin as the first line of defense • Intact skin protects • Epidermis • Dermis

  6. Mucous membranes line the interior of the body

  7. Ciliated cells are important…where?

  8. Antimicrobial Substances

  9. Microbial Barriers • Normal flora (biota) play a role in keeping the body protected • Competitive exclusion • E. coli produce bacteriocins which kill Salmonella and Shigella

  10. Cells of the Immune System • Cells move from one system to the next • Found in blood, developed from bone marrow • What are some of these cells?? • Granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils) • Mononuclear phagocytes • Dendritic cells • Lymphocytes

  11. Dendritic cells • Branched cells, important in adaptive immunity • Develop from monocytes, engulf material and bring it to other cells for analysis

  12. How do cells of the immune system communicate? • Cytokines • Chemokines • Colony-stimulating factors • Interferons • Interleukins • Tumor Necrosis factors

  13. Cytokines and their function

  14. Interferons • Three types of glycoproteins • Alpha • Beta • Produced by virus infected host cells, induce mRNA for antiviral proteins • Gamma • Produced by lymphocytes

  15. Interferons inhibit viral replication

  16. Sensor systems in the blood, tissues and cells • Can detect signs of tissue damage or microbial invasion • Respond by • Detecting parts of bacteria/viruses using pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) • Directly destroy bacteria using complement • Recruit other components of host defense

  17. Pattern Recognition Receptors • Toll-Like receptors (TLRs) • Membrane bound receptors which detect bacterial parts • NOD-like receptors (NLRs) • Cytoplasmic proteins detect bacterial parts • RIG-like receptors (RLRs) • Cytoplasmic proteins detect viral RNA

  18. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) • A type of PRR • Recognize peptidoglycan, lipopolysaccharide, flagellin, certain nucleotide sequences unique to bacteria

  19. Toll-like receptors

  20. NOD-like receptors (NLRs)

  21. RIG-like receptors • Cytoplasmic proteins which detect viral RNA in a cell • Activate secretion of interferon and inflammatory response chemicals • Overall goal is to inhibit viral replication

  22. Complement Proteins are part of the Complement system • Consists of a collection of 9 interacting proteins found in blood and tissues • Activation of these proteins promote • Opsonization • Inflammatory response • Lysis of foreign cell

  23. How are the complement proteins activated?

  24. Regulation of the complement system

  25. What have we covered so far? • The innate immune system is composed of • Cells • Chemicals released by cells to communicate with each other • Receptors to recognize invaders • We need to look at the processes of phagocytosis and inflammation

  26. How do phagocytes work?

  27. Fever is a nonspecific response • Il-1 increases T lymphocytes • Decreases available iron • Increases cellular reactions

  28. Inflammation response • What are the key cells involved? • What are the four key symptoms of inflammation? • What activates the inflammation response?
