||||
What occurs after a phagolysosome is formed | Oxidative Burst and oxygen independent pathway.
🗑
|
||||
Oxidative Burst | Key enzyme is NADPH Oxidase. Turns O2 into a superoxide (O2 radical). Then, superoxide dismutase turns that into H2O2. Then, myelo peroxidase turns that into a hydroxyl radical or a hypoclhlorite radical. These physically rupture the membrane.
🗑
|
||||
Oxygen independent Pathway after phagolysosome is formed | Cell can produce proteases that destroy the pathogen.
🗑
|
||||
Complement System | Innate and Acquired Immunity. Important for destroying bacterial pathogens. 20 or more proteins in serum. Can cause lysis, enhance phagocytosis and participate in inflammation.
🗑
|
||||
Three methods of activation of complement | Bacterial Surface. Acute phase protein. Antibody. First two are Innate. Antibody is Adaptive.
🗑
|
||||
How does complement enhance phagocytosis? | It is also called opsinization. Complement components can coat bacteria, make more attractive to phagocytic cells. Phagocytic cells have receptor for complement.
🗑
|
||||
How does lysis occur in complement? | 20 serum proteins are circulating, already made. bacterial surface is sticky to complement. they bind, initiate complement, and then lysis occurs.
🗑
|
||||
How do acute phase proteins activate complement? | They bind to pathogen and initiate cascade.
🗑
|
||||
Four hallmarks of Inflammation | Rubor, Calor, Dolor, Tumor.
Rumor - redness.

dolor - Pain
tumor - Swelling
🗑
|
||||
Three main effects of inflammation | increase blood flow to dilute toxic agents
increase capillary permeability to facilitate transmission of large molecules across endothelium
increased migration of cells into tissues to destroy bacteria, remove debris, and restore normal tissue structure
🗑
|
||||
Six steps of inflammation | Tissue Injury, Vasodilation, Increased Permeability, Emigration of leukocytes, chemotaxis, phagocytosis.

🗑
|
||||
Natural Killer Cells | Innate Immune response.
Viral infection. Generalized.
Recognizes KAR and KIR.
If the NK cell can only bind its KAR and not its KIR, then the NK cell destroys it by releasing granular contents.
🗑
|
||||
KAR | Killer Activation Receptor. When infected or under stress, cells show MICa and MICb, stress molecules. KAR binds to this.
🗑
|
||||
KIR | Killer Inhibition Receptor. This binds to MHC1 on a cell surface. If this binds to MHC1, then it will not engage.
🗑
|
||||
Why do viruses downregulate MHC1 | They do this to avoid Cytotoxic T cells because MHC1 holds out cellular contents.

🗑
|
||||
Why is gamma interferon used for CGD | It activates macrophages, and boosts the oxygen independent pathway.
🗑
|
||||
Why does CGD only affect catalase positive individuals? | Because Catalase degrades H2O2. H2O2 is the final step in production of the hydroxyl radical and hypochlorite. If you are catalase negative, you can use H2O2 to break down. If you are catalase positive, you break it down yourself.

🗑
|
||||
Primary Immune Response | First time you see the pathogen. You won't see any Abs in blood until day 4-5. days 1-5, Innate system is working. First Ab at day 5 is IgM, then IgG. Not Strong. weak affinity.
🗑
|
||||
Secondary Immune Response | Lag phase is gone. This is upon repeated exposure. IgG occurs almost immediately due to the abundant memory cells. Also, sustained much longer. Faster and more effective.
🗑
|
||||
postulates of clonal selection hypothesis | 1.Unique Specificity of Lymphocyte Receptor
