Immunologic responses Innate Acquired
Immunologic responses Innate anatomic physiologic phagocytic inflammatory (acute, not chronic) Acquired ……
Innate immunologic response Anatomic: e. g., skin (!) a barrier… sometimes ciliated sometimes coated with mucous sometimes bathed with fluids
Ciliated, coated, bathed… What are the principal routes of entries of pathogens and other noxious agents? Alimentary system Respiratory system Urogenital system Innate immunologic response
Innate immunologic response Ciliated, coated, bathed… Ciliated: sweep entities away or into mucous Coated: entrap entities; expel through coughing Bathed: fluids flush… or serve as solvent for enzymes like lysozyme (which digests the near universal beta 1,4 glycosidic linkage between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl glucosamine in bacterial walls) Other: fatty acids in skin (affect pH)
Innate immunologic responseviz. physiologic Other: fatty acids in skin (affect pH) More “other”: numerous proteins Interferons Kinins Fibrins Complement
Immunologic response • Skin… obviously “anatomic” • Fluids… phsyiologic (?) • Fatty acids… physiologic again • Phagocytic • Who does this? • Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (aka neutrophils) • Macrophages • Inflammation What is this?

Immunologic responses Innate Acquired
Immunologic responses Innate also called non-specific Acquired also called specific or adaptive
Immunologic responses Innate Invariant… does not vary with stimulus Acquired Highly variable and has memory
Acquiredimmunologic response Principal features: Specific Able to respond to innumerable stimuli Able to distinguish self and non-self Has memory
