Immediate immune system
Flowchart content
Immune system immediate response.
First line of defense (0-4 hours), lack of specificity
1.-Physical barriers
2.-Complement System
Tags bacterium for destruction by phagocytosis
located outside of our body
Mechanical
Skin, Gut, Lungs
chemical
Microbiological
Flow air or fluid, movement mocus, tears
Fatty acids, Antimicrobial peptides, enzymes
Microbiota
bacteria persist?
30 plasma proteins make the C.System
Complement (C3) the most important
Activation: C3 fragmented in
C3a (small fragament)
C3b (large fragment)
thioester bond
permit the cleavage to patogen´s surface
chemotrattractant
recruits phagocytes
Activation pathways
3 different pathways
First to be activated
second to be activated
third to be activated
Pathogen surface activate C3b
yes
Mannose binding lectine binds to the patogen
macrophage activation
use of c5 proteins or antibodies
NOT PART OF IMMEDIATE RESPONSE
Part of the immediate response
2.1 .- Alternative pathway
Alternative MAIN IN IMMEDIATE response
Alternative
Lectin
Classical
Initiation
C3 present in plasma
Detect bacteria, and the enviroment of it
lead to hydrolize c3 to IC3
Binds b and d factors
D factor break B in Ba and Bb
C3 is fragmented
complex C3bBb formed
C3bBb catalizes formation of new C3bBb
C3b binds the bacteria
C3b coat the bacteria
regulated by
Factor P (properdin) and factor H
Macrophages recognize the calling
Complement receptor 1 (CR1) binds to C3b
Macrophage endocytoses bacteria
create a phagosome +lysosome =phagolysosome
Bacteria is engulfed
Terminal complement
activated by C5 convertase
Reclute C6,C5b,C7,C8 to make an structure for C9
C9 makes a hole in the bacterial membrane
or
2 C3b+Bb
create
Bacteria is destroyed
Antimicrobial peptides
Defensins
Kill patogen disrupting microbial membranes
Pentraxins
2 classes
Alpha and beta
Bind microorganism and deliiver to phagocytes
