2 Nonspecific Defenses of the Host Susceptibility: Lack of resistance to a disease. Immunity: Ability to ward off disease. Innate immunity: Defenses against any pathogen. Adaptive immunity: Immunity, resistance to a specific pathogen.

3 Host Defenses Figure 16.1

4 Physical Factors Skin Epidermis consists of tightly packed cells with Keratin, a protective protein

5 Physical Factors Mucous membranes Ciliary escalator: Microbes trapped in mucus are transported away from the lungs. Lacrimal apparatus: Washes eye. Saliva: Washes microbes off. Urine: Flows out. Vaginal secretions: Flow out. Figure 16.4a

6 Chemical Factors Fungistatic fatty acid in sebum. Low ph (3-5) of skin. Lysozyme in perspiration, tears, saliva, and tissue fluids. Low ph ( ) of gastric juice. Transferrins in blood find iron. NO inhibits ATP production.

7 Normal Microbiota Microbial antagonism/competitive exclusion: Normal microbiota compete with pathogens.

10 Differential White Cell Count Percentage of each type of white cell in a sample of 100 white blood cells. Neutrophils 60-70% Basophils 0.5-1% Eosinophils 2-4% Monocytes 3-8% Lymphocytes 20-25%

11 White Blood Cells Neutrophils: Phagocytic Basophils: Produce histamine Eosinophils: Toxic to parasites and some phagocytosis Dendritic cells: Initiate adaptive immune response Monocytes: Phagocytic as mature macrophages Fixed macrophages in lungs, liver, and bronchi Wandering macrophages roam tissues. Lymphocytes: Involved in specific immunity. PLAY Animation: Host Defenses

12 Phagocytosis Phago: from Greek, meaning eat Cyte: from Greek, meaning cell Ingestion of microbes or particles by a cell, performed by phagocytes. Figure 16.6

13 Phagocytosis Figure 16.7

14 Microbial Evasion of Phagocytosis Inhibit adherence: M protein, capsules Kill phagocytes: Leukocidins Lyse phagocytes: Membrane attack complex Escape phagosome Prevent phagosome-lysosome fusion Survive in phagolysosome Streptococcus pyogenes, S. pneumoniae Staphylococcus aureus Listeria monocytogenes Shigella HIV Coxiella burnetti PLAY Animation: Phagocytosis

15 Inflammation 1. Redness-rubor 2. Pain-dolor 3. Heat-calor 4. Swelling (edema)-tumor Acute-phase proteins activated (complement, cytokine, and kinins) Vasodilation (histamine, kinins, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes) Margination and emigration of WBCs Tissue repair

16 Chemicals Released by Damaged Cells Histamine Kinins Prostaglandins Leukotrienes Vasodilation, increased permeability of blood vessels Vasodilation, increased permeability of blood vessels Intensity histamine and kinin effect Increased permeability of blood vessels, phagocytic attachment

19 Fever: Abnormally High Body Temperature Hypothalamus normally set at 37 C. Gram-negative endotoxin cause phagocytes to release interleukin 1 (IL 1). Hypothalamus releases prostaglandins that reset the hypothalamus to a high temperature. Body increases rate of metabolism and shivering which raise temperature. When IL 1 is eliminated, body temperature falls (crisis).

20 Fever Advantages Increase transferrins Increase IL 1 activity Disadvantages Tachycardia Acidosis Dehydration

21 The Complement System Serum proteins activated in a cascade. Figure 16.9

22 Effects of Complement Activation Opsonization or immune adherence: Enhanced phagocytosis. Membrane attack complex: Cytolysis. Attract phagocytes. Figure 16.10

23 Effects of Complement Activation Figure 16.11

24 Classical Pathway Figure 16.12

25 Alternative Pathway Figure 16.13

26 Lectin Pathway Figure 16.14

27 Some Bacteria Evade Complement Capsules prevent C activation. Surface lipid-carbohydrates prevent MAC formation. Enzymatic digestion of C5a. PLAY Animation: The Complement System

28 Interferons (IFNs) Alpha IFN and Beta IFN: Cause cells to produce antiviral proteins that inhibit viral replication. Gamma IFN: Causes neutrophils and macrophages to phagocytize bacteria.
