Ability to recognize self from nonself and protect itself from harm
Immunity
Role of first line of defense
Barrier into the body
Role of skin
Salty, acidic, layers, hair, sheds
First line of defense components
Skin and mucus membranes
Role of mucus membranes
Thick, sticky, movement, lysozyme
Second line of defense
White blood cells
Scouts
macrophages and dendritic cells
Engulfing pathogens and destroying them
Phagocytosis
What do WBCs recognize about pathogens?
Teichoic acid, LPS, flagellum
What do WBCs have for detection?
Toll like receptors (TLR)
What do pathogens have that gets recognized?
Microbe associated molecular pattern (MAMP)
What is the first step of phagocytosis?
Recognition and binding
What is the second step of phagocytosis
Endocytosis
Pathogen is brough into a WBC by a vesicle, known as phagosome
Endocytosis
Third step of phagocytosis
Phagosome fuses with lysosome and is broken down
Fourth step of phagocytosis
Phagolysosome moves to plasma membrane, expels debris
Phagocytosis is mainly the job of these
Macrophages
DC’s carry out phagocytosis and do this
Alert adaptive response
WBCs that circulate in blood
Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils,
Two roles of neutrophils
What kills a pathogen after it is in a net from a neutrophil?
Macrophage
Contains antibody on a receptor protein
Eosinophil
What does an eosinophil antibody attach to?
A large eukaryote
What do eosinophils release?
Perforin and granzymes
