5. Normal course of a primary acute infection time Level of microbe t Resolution of adaptive response & establishment of memory Innate/induction of adaptive response infection adaptive response
6. Immunity to infection requires both innate and acquired immunity Time Level of microbe Mac - /PMN - No innate immunity Scid/RAG - no T/B cells Normal immune system
7. Innate response 1: Inflammation-PPRs Tissue dwelling macrophages recognize bacterial/viral products as ‘foreign’ via pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) PAMPs are conserved products of microbial metabolism -unique to microbes -invariant between members of a given class -vital for microbial fitness LPS found in all gram -ve bacteria Immune system has a range of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) which recognize PAMPs
9. LPS defective mice C3H/HeJ sub-strain found to be insensitive to toxic shock syndrome induced by LPS Mice were also susceptible to infection by certain gram -ve bacteria Reverse genetics isentified a single point mutation in the cytoplasmic tail of a Toll like receptor
10. Toll like receptors (TLRs) Ancient conserved family of PPRs Transmembrane receptors Activation leads to induction of various genes responsible for host defense NF B MAP Cytokine Chemokine MHC Co-stimulation TLR4 LPS

15. Innate response 3: role of NK cells Lymphoid origin Utilize invariant receptors Vital for early control of viral infections Recognize infection as ‘altered self’-e.g. low MHCI NK cells are ‘armed’ via IFN- - & IL-12 Kill altered cells via secretion of cytotoxic granules (granzyme/perforin)

31. Resolution of the effector response When the infection is removed: the innate system is no longer activated- inflammation subsides antigen is cleared in the form of immune complexes- stimulus for T cells is removed most effector T and B are removed- death by neglect/cytokine starvation Apoptotic cells are removed by macrophages
33. Plasma cells provide protective memory Secretion of high affinity antibody Lifespan of months-years Re-generated by low level proliferation & differentiation of memory B cells? Plasma cell
34. B Memory B cell responses provide reactive memory Proliferate and differentiate into plasma cells in response to antigenic stimulation high Low Somatic Mut high low affinity IgG IgA IgM>>IgG isotype 10 3 1:10 4 -1:10 5 frequency secondary primary
35. Memory T cell responses Tn Tm low high Requirement for co-stimulation high low Responsiveness to pep-MHC 10 1 Relative frequency
36. Memory T cell responses Two distinct populations of memory T cells exist: -effector memory (Tem) protective memory -central memory (Tcm) reactive memory Defined by (i) absence or presence of immediate effector function (ii) expression of homing receptors to enable circulation to 2˚ lymphoid organs or non lymphoid tissues
