Overview: Innate Immune Response
Review: Cells of the Immune System Leukocytes– White blood cells Myelocytes–macrophage, neutrophil, eosinophil,basophil Lymphocytes – B, T and NK cells From Larsson and Karlsson (2005)
Review: Myelocytes •Macrophages – phagocytes, antigen presenting cells (APCs), specialized cells different organs, secrete cytokines, produce complement proteins, can produce ROS/RNS. •Neutrophils – phagoctyes, can produce ROS/RNS, secrete antimicrobial peptides, 1st cell type to migrate from blood to infections, main targets are bacteria and fungi •Eosinophils– phagocyte, targets parasites •Basophils – secrete cytokines, involved in allergic response
Review: Lymphocytes • B cells – naïve B cells: contain antigen binding receptor (or membrane bound antibody), once activated – memory cells: provides memory of antigen/antibody interaction; plasma cells: secrete soluble antibody
Review: Lymphocytes • T cells - contain antigen binding receptor (TCR) TH cells: secretes cytokines that activate B cells, TC cells, macrophages and others. TC cells: eliminates altered/damaged self cells (particularly those infected by viruses), fights tumors cells, secrete cytotoxins. Tregcells: helps suppress immune response, plays a role in tolerance. T reg cell
Review: Cells of the Immune System •Natural killer cells – distinct from T and B cells due to lack of an antigen binding receptor, similar in function to TC cells, macrophage activation, defense against viruses, fight tumor formation, secrete cytotoxins.
Review: Cells of the Immune System Derived from both lymphoid and myeloid precursors •Dendritic cells – phagoctyes, antigen presenting cells (APCs), can produce ROS, secrete proinflammatory cytokines, secrete antimicrobial peptides.
Review: Organs of the Immune System Primaryand secondary lymphoid organs: 1°- maturation of lymphocytes 2°- sites where mature lymphocytes interact with antigen. Level of organization: collection of cells vs. lymphoid follicle
