INNATE IMMUNITY
 Functional at birth
 Rapid responses:
preformed or available
within hours after
infection
 Limited specificity:
pattern recognition via
toll like receptors
 Widely present in nature
including in plants,
invertebrates and
vertebrates
ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY


Acquired, available
within days

All originate from bone marrow (red bone
marrow)
Circulate in the body through vascular system
and lymphatic system
Enter tissue as needed
 Some differentiate here and remain in the tissue:
macrophages, dendritic cells

Performed by phagocytes (professional eaters)
 Neutrophils
 Monocytes  Macrophages
Refers primarily to the uptake of bacteria and fungi
Relatively inefficient without special opsonins
Opsonins are molecules that enhance phagocytosis
 Make “food more edible”
 Host derived molecules that cover the microbe and are
recognized by phagocytes

Chemical attraction of phagocytes to
microorganisms and movement of phagocytes


Microbial products (formyl-methionine-peptides)
Complement
Cytokines (“Chemokines”)
21
Phagocytes need their food
(microorganisms) served on silver
plates
 Opsonines significantly enhance
microbial uptake by phagocytes
 Cover microbial surfaces and are
recognized by specific receptors
on phagocyte surfaces
 Examples are:

 Antibodies
 Complement
22

Oxygen dependent
 Oxidative Burst
 Reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen intermediates

Oxygen-independent
 Antimicrobial peptides
 Low pH
 Enzymes (Hydrolases, proteases, phopholipases)
23

Complement system
 Kills and helps in phagocytosis

Antimicrobial Peptides:
 Kill

Interferons
 Strengthen basic host cell defenses

Iron binding proteins
 Expressed by both host and microbe
 Competition for iron

System of over 30 serum proteins
Active components (C-) and inhibitors
Widely distributed in body
Many cells can synthesis complement factors
Major producers:
 Hepatocytes (liver cells)
 Monocytes/macrophages
 Fibroblasts
25

Early events: proteolytic cascade generates
bioactive cleavage fragments

C1 C4 C2 C3 C5  C6  C7 C8C9n

Late events: Protein polymerization generate a
pore on target cell
26

Classical pathway
 Antibodies bound to microbes change
conformation and open up binding sites for C1

Lectin pathway
 Sugar-binding molecule with similar structure to
C1 binds to the microbe and activate complement
C2 and C4

Alternative pathway
 C3 binds directly to the microbial surface aided by
factors B, D, and P and activates C5


Host derived proteins
 Transferrin: blood and tissue fluid
 Lactoferrin: milk, saliva, mucus

Bind iron which is essential to microbe
 Microbes counteract with siderophores or iron
binding protein receptors
35

Relatively uniform response to a variety of causes
 Infection
 Physical agents like heat, radiation etc
 Chemical agents like acids, bases etc.
Key signs are rubor (redness), dolor (pain), calor
(heat), and tumor (swelling)
 Local response includes vasodilation and increase of
permeability, phagocyte migration and phagocytosis,
tissue repair
 Systemic response mediated by TNFa and acute
phase proteins like C-reactive protein up to 1000x fold
increased) can lead to fever, shock, disseminated
coagulation

Innate immunity is widely conserved, functional upon
birth, operates via pattern recognition and TLR, has
no memory
Key cells in innate immunity are epithelial cells and
phagocytes
Phagocytosis is enhanced by opsonins
Phagocytes kill via oxygen radicals, antimicrobial
peptides, low pH, and enzymes.
The effector molecules of innate immunity are
complement (killing, inflammation, enhanced
phagodytosis), antimicrobial peptides (killing),
interferons (activation of host antiviral defenses), and
iron binding proteins (deprive microbes of iron).
