Role of immune system
Differences between innate and adaptive
Innate comprises number of barrier functions which prevent bacterial
translocation into body: skin, epi tight junctions in gut, competition of
commensal bacteria (competes for nutients and access to mucosa),
chemical bile, proteases, Hcl, mucus – iga and long-chain FAs.
Cellular and soluble component activation relies on recognition of pamps:
TLRs, NOD-like receptors, collectins, complement, scavenger receptors
TLRs – have extracellular leucine rich repeat motifs intracellular toll-il2R
domain involved in signal tranmission. Bind tir domain containg adaptors
like myd88, tirap and trif to transmit singals. Recognize pamps on
pathogens; localized to function 379 in endosomal compartment as

Collectins
Innate effectors are: complement, interferon, defensins, proteases,
DNAases and RNases – present in skin
Defnsins- contain multiple cysteine-disuphilde bridges called hairpin like
structures – small cationic peptides which bind neg charges PL iabundant

Complement: complex series of proteins and glycorpoteins mainly prod in
liver and monocytes and macrophages, triggered by enxyme cascade in
the lood producing a rapid highly ampl response. 3 pathways – draw y of
complement functions: opsonisation for pahgo, direct lysis, dealing of
immune complexes, promotion of inflammation, augmenting induction of
specific antibody
IFN: cytokines i.e. soluble mediators largely involved in antiviral defense.
