"Danger Signals" activate innate cells
PAMPS bind to Receptors called PRRs
“Pattern Recognition Receptor”
Some Danger Signals Include
TLR4 (Toll-like Receptor 4) recognizes:
Location of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)
TLR (toll-like receptor) Ligands
TL4 recognizes
TLR5 recognizes
TLR3 recognizes
TLR7 & TLR8 recognize
TLR9 recognizes
TLR Signaling
Two Core signaling proteins:
MyD88 and TRIF
(core TLR signaling proteins)
TLRs in the pathogenesis of Human Disease
TLR4: D299G Mutation Results in
NEMO Mutation: (several polymorphisms) results in
IkBa: S321 Mutation results in
IRAK4: stop codons 287, 293 Mutation results in
CARDs (Caspase Recruitment Domain- containing proteins) in human disease:
CARD9 deficiency mutation
Cytokines
The cytokines of innate immunity:
Cytokine
IL10
Cytokine
TNF
Cytokines
TNF1alpha and TNF2beta
Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors
Chemokine Subfamily: HIV Co-receptors
Main receptor?
What is complement?
Four principles of complement activation
Complement involves a “proteolytic activation cascade”
What are the 3 pathways of initiation?
Classical (antibody required)
Alternative (innate)
Lectin (innate)
All three pathways of complement converge at?
C3 Convertase can split into:
C3a and C5a
C3b
C5b, C6, C7, C8, and C9
or C5b-C9
The Classical Pathway involves 3 Stages
Stage 1:
The Classical Pathway involves 3 Stages
Stage 2:
The Classical Pathway involves 3 Stages Stage 3:
What do C5a and C3a do?
C5b triggers formation of the Membrane Attack Complex
MAC (Membrane attack complex) is MOST effective against:
The Alternative pathway
Alternative Pathway
*Factor D, Factor B, Properdin*
The Lectin Pathway
(MB Lectin)
Complement Regualtion
Complement Regulation
(1) liability of?
(2) Sialic acid inactivates?
(3) Regulatory proteins?
Complement receptors mediate other functions:
-- immune complex clearing
-- chemotaxis
-- opsonization
How does C3b cause opsonization by phagocytic cells?
RBCs and CR1 play major role in immune complex clearance
