Innate immunity Previously believed to be nonspecific, weak, and non effective Now: Innate immunity specifically target microbes and is a powerful early defense mechanism. Not only provide the early defense against infection, innate immunity instructs the adaptive immune system to respond to different microbes properly. Conversely, adaptive immune response often uses mechanisms of innate immunity to eradicate infection. Thus, there is a constant bidirectional cross-talk between innate and adaptive immunity Pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) Pattern recognition receptor (PRRs) Abbas & Lichtman, 2004 3

Recognition of microbes by the innate immune system The components of innate immunity recognize structures (highly conserved molecular patterns) that are shared by various classes of microbes and are not present in the host cells. The microbial molecule that are the target of innate immunity is called pathogen associated molecular pattern (PAMP). The receptor of the innate cells that recognize the shares structures are pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Example: Toll like receptor (TLR), scavenger receptors, Macrophage mannose receptors, c-type lectin receptors The protein of the complement system (alternative and mannose-binding lectin (MBL) pathways) also recognize microbe surface molecules. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) Pattern recognition receptors TLR1 a TLR2 TLR3 TLR4 TLR5 TLR6 TLR7 TLR8 TLR9 TLR10 TLR11 NOD1 b, NOD2 Scavenger receptors Macrophage mannose receptors and other c-type lectin receptors Type 3 complement receptors and dectin type receptors a Toll-like receptors b Nucleotide oligomerizing domain protein Bacterial lipoproteins from Mycobacteria, Neisseria Zymosan yeast particles, peptidoglycan, lipoproteins, glycolipids, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Viral double stranded RNA, poly I:C Bacterial LPS, plant product taxol Bacterial flagellins Yeast zymosan particles, lipotechoic acid, lipopeptides from Mycoplasma Single-stranded RNA Single-stranded RNA CpG oligonucleotides Unknown Bacterial components from uropathogenic bacteria Peptidoglycans Acetylated/malelylated proteins, modified low-density lipoproteins and other polyanionic ligands Sulfated sugars, mannose-, fucose-, and galactose-modified polysaccharides and proteins Zymosan particles, β-glucan Ligands Adapted from Pashine et al., Nature Medicine (Suppl.). 2005. 11: S63-S68 6

Chemokines (Chemoattractant cytokines) A family of chemotactic cytokines (at least 50 chemokines) Small proteins (8-10 kda) produced by various cell types Stimulate leukocyte movement and regulate the migration of leukocytes (chemotaxis) from the blood to tissues. Some chemokines (CXCL4, CCL20, CCL5) also have antimicrobial activities. Classified to 4 families according to the spacing of the cysteine residues http://www.rbej.com/content/figures/1477-7827-1-94-1.jpg Example of chemokines and their receptors New Name α family CCL2 CCL3 CCL4 CCL5 CCL7 CCL8 CCL11 b family CXCL1 CXCL8 γ family XCL1 δ family CX3CL1 Old Name MCP-1 MIP-1α MIP-1β RANTES MCP-3 MCP-2 Eotaxin GRO-1 IL-8 Lymphotacin Fractalkine Receptor CCR2 CCR1, CCR5 CCR5 CCR1, CCR3, CCR5 CCR3 CCR3 CCR3 CXCR2 CXCR1, CXCR2 XCR1 CX3CR1 CXCL = CXCR (ligand) (receptor) Attract and activate neutrophils MIP: macrophage inflammatory protein MCP: monocyte chemotactic protein Adapted from Tizards, 2004 10

Abbas & Lichtman, 2004 The capture and display of microbial antigens. Microbes enter through an epithelium and are captured by antigen presenting cells resident in the epithelium, or they enter lymphatic vessels or blood vessels. The microbes and their antigens are transported to peripheral lymphoid organs, the lymph nodes, and the spleen, where protein antigens are displayed for recognition by T lymphocytes. 16
Essential feature of adaptive immunity Foreign material (antigen) Antigen presenting cells Antigen-specific B cells Antigen-specific T cells Memory cell Antibody producing cell Effector T cell Memory cell Humoral Immunity Cell-mediated immunity Antigen elimination T cell antigen recognition T-cell The majority of T lymphocytes recognize peptide antigens that are bound and displayed by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules of the antigen presenting cells APC 17
Antigen presenting cells (APC) Antigen Presenting Cells (APC): A special cells that capture microbial antigens and display them for recognition by T lymphocytes As naïve T cells required both antigen and co-stimulatory signals to become activated. The APC that can provide both signals to T lymphocytes is called professional APC. Professional antigen presenting cells DC is considered the best professional APC. 18
The 2-signal hypothesis Activation of naïve T cells requires 2 independent signals. 1) The binding of peptide:mhc complex by the TCR 2) The co-stimulatory signal T cell stimulation Danger signal Abbas & Lichtman, 2004 19
