Passive Defenses: the boundaries mechanical properties (fur, skin, mucosae) rinsing/flooding chemical properties o skin: oil, sweat, psoriasin o stomach: acid o Intestine: deoxycholate, lysozyme, defensins normal, bacterial flora
4
E.coli adhering to particular epithelial cells of the urinary tract.
6
Psoriasin: anti-bacterial protein of the skin specific for E. coli (gram- negatives)
8
Lactobacillus sp.
10
Acute Inflammatory Response 1.Mobilization of active defenses Vasodilation Vascular permeability neutrophils 2.Initiating the adaptive responses.
12
INVASION Tissue damage Pathogens Clotting System (Hageman Factor) Kinin/ Bradykinin Complement cascade Vasodilation Permeability Neutrophils Macrophages Dendritic cells Basophils/ Mast cells Lipid mediators Cytokines Chemokines
13
Cyclooxygenase Lipoxygenase LeukotrienesProstaglandins
15
Vasodilation and increased vascular permeability leads to fluid leakage (edema) and extravasation of neutrophils.
19
Pathogen Pattern Recognition Receptors (PPRR) Bind Pathogen Associated Molecular Pattern (PAMP) molecules. 1.MBP and C-RP are soluble PPRR 2.TLR and LPS-BP are membrane-bound PPRR 3.NLR (Nod-like receptor) and RLH (Rig-like Helicase) are cytoplasmic PPRR
20
Toll deficiency and loss of drosomycin
22
Bruce A. Beutler. Identification of LPS receptor is TLR 4. (Science 1998). Jules A. Hoffman The Drosophila gene Toll confers anti-fungal defense (Science 1996) Ralph M. Steinman Discovers dendritic cells in 1973. Nobel price Physiology 2011.
23

24
Dendritic Cells Ralph Steinman & Zanvil A. Cohn (1973) J. Exp. Med.
25
Phase contrast micrograph of spleen cells after 2 days in culture. Four dendritic cells (arrows) can be seen clustered with lymphocytes. (Courtesy of Ralph Steinman from K. Inaba et al., J. Exp. Med. 160:858, 1984.)
26
Ruslan Medzhitov (overlooked by 2011 Nobel?)
31
Bubonic plague (Yersinia pestis)
33
Yersinia pestis
34
Y. Pestis in blood smear: bipolar, safety pin staining. Yersinia escape detection by the innate defenses because at 37 C: -Y. pestis produces an LPS that poorly activates TLR-4. -Y. enterocolitica no longer produces flagella.
35
Legionnaire’s disease: (bilateral, basal, infiltration)
36
Legionella pneumophilia: TLR5 mutants, not recognizing flagelin, increase susceptibility
73
Elie Metchnikoff (1845-1916),
75
Phagocytosis E. coli by macrophages.
78
confocal microscopy demonstrating bacteria internalised by a mammalian cell Phagocytosis
79
Streptococcus faecalis.
80
Streptococcus pneumoniae.
84
Opsonization.
86
Zipper-Model.
90
Chediak-Higashi Syndrome
95
NADPH+H + NADP + Glucose 6 CO 2 MPO Lysosome O2O2 O2-O2- H2O2H2O2 Pathogen Oxygen burst neutrophils Oxidase HM S

97
Nitric oxide synthase Possible oxidant- generating reactions of stimulated PMNs
102
Ribbon diagram of human defensin. Numbers indicate the position of the cysteine residues; disulphide bonds are shown in yellow. The defensin dimer is stabilized by multiple hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions at the monomer-monomer interface. The top of the dimer is polar; the base is apolar.
103
Rat peritoneal neutrophils, which often contain ringed nuclei are stained (antibody) for the presence of defensins. Defensins (blue) are present in the cytoplasm and have a granular distribution.
