Innate and adaptive immunity

The mechanisms of innate immunity provide the initial defense against infection. Adaptive immune responses develop later and consist of activation of lymphocytes.

Innate immunity

• Innate immunity is initial response to microbes that prevents, controls , or eliminate infection of the host by many microbes– Inflammation

– Antiviral defense

• Innate immune mechanisms recognize the products of damaged and dead host cells and serve to eliminate these cells and to initiate the process of tissue repair

• Innate immunity to microbes stimulates adaptive immune responses and can influence the nature of the adaptive responses to make them optimally effective against different types of microbe

Innate immunity serves three important functions

Features of Innate immunity

• Provides the early line of defense against foreign substances

• Not specific to particular microbe

– do express surface receptors that distinguish host cells from those of infectious agents

– do not discriminate between various infectious agents

• Non-adaptive

– the quality of the reaction to a foreign substance does not change when the organism encounters this substance repeatedly

Page 7: Innate Immunity - Chiang Mai University Immunity... · Lecture outline • Overview of innate immunity • Innate recognition –Cell-associated receptors ... • Innate immunity

Recognition mechanisms of innate immunity

• The microbial substances that stimulate innate immunity are

called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)

• Molecules recognized tend to be structural elements that

are common to broad classes of microbes and are very hard

to change.

• The innate immune system also recognizes endogenous

molecules called damage-associated molecular patterns

(DAMPs)

• The receptors that bind to PAMPs or DAMPs are called

pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)

Toll-like receptors (TLRs)

• A family of conserved cellular receptors that mediated cellular responses to PAMPs and DAMPs

• TLRs activation is essential for provoking the innate response and enhancing adaptive immunity against pathogens

• There are 9 different functional TLRs in humans, named TLR1 through TLR9

TIR; TLR/IL-1 receptor

TLR signaling

• All TLRs except TLR3 signal through adaptor protein MyD88

• TLR3 signals through TRIF

• TLR4 signals through both MyD88 and TRIF

• A downstream effect of TLR signaling through MyD88 is the activation of the transcription factor NF-КB

• A downstream effect of TLR signaling through TRIF is the activation of IRF-3 and -7

MyD88; myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88

TIRF; TIR domain-containing adaptor inducing IFN-β

of more than 20 different cytosolic

proteins, some of which recognize

PAMPs and DAMPs

• NOD1 & NOD2 recognize

peptidoglycan substructures and

promote innate immune responses

proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-18)

RIG-Like Receptors

Plasma membrane• RIG-like receptors (RLRs) are

cytosolic sensors of viral RNA that respond to viral nucleic acid by inducing the production of the antiviral type I interferons

• The two best characterized RLRs are

– RIG-1

– MDA5

• On binding viral RNA, the RLRs initiate signaling events that lead to phosphorylation and activation of IRF3 and IRF7, as well as NF-κB

Cytosolic DNA Sensors (CDSs)

• The STING (Stimulator of IFN Genes) pathway is a major mechanism of DNA-induced activation of type I interferon responses

• STING is an endoplasmic reticulum-localized transmembrane protein

• Cytosolic DNA binds to an enzyme called cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) that synthesizes a cyclic dinucleotide called cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP)

• cGAMP interacts with and stimulates STING

NK cells are early component of the host response to viral infection

Page 41: Innate Immunity - Chiang Mai University Immunity... · Lecture outline • Overview of innate immunity • Innate recognition –Cell-associated receptors ... • Innate immunity

Functions of NK cells

•1. NK cells recognize ligands on infected cells or cells undergoing other types of stress, and kill the host cells.

Page 42: Innate Immunity - Chiang Mai University Immunity... · Lecture outline • Overview of innate immunity • Innate recognition –Cell-associated receptors ... • Innate immunity

The NK cells are activated and kill the antibody-coated cells.

• NK cells bind to antibody-coated cells by Fc receptors and destroy these cells. These process is called antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC)

Page 43: Innate Immunity - Chiang Mai University Immunity... · Lecture outline • Overview of innate immunity • Innate recognition –Cell-associated receptors ... • Innate immunity

Functions of NK cells

2. NK cells respond to IL-12 produced by macrophages and secrete IFN-γ, which activates the macrophages to kill phagocytosed microbes.

Innate lymphoid cells

• The three subsets of ILCs produce different sets of cytokines, participate in host defense against distinct pathogens, and different inflammatory disorders

• These subsets are analogous to the TH1, TH2 and TH17 subsets of CD4+T lymphocytes that secrete some of the same cytokines

• Group 1 ILCs produce IFN-γ include NK cells

• Group 2 ILCs, like TH2, secrete IL-5, IL-9 and IL-13

• Group 3 ILCs are found at mucosal sites and produce IL-17 and IL-22

Complement system

• Consists of about 30 serum and membrane proteins that can mediate a variety of immune reactions

• The active components of complement are generated from inactive precursors by a cascade of proteolytic reactions

• These can be triggered in any of three ways:

– Lectin pathway

The Inflammatory Response

• Acute inflammation is a major way by which the innate immune system

deals with infections and tissue injury

• Accumulation of leukocytes, plasma proteins, and fluid derived from the

blood at an extracellular tissue site of infection or injury

• to kill microbes and begin to repair tissue damage

• Acute inflammation can develop in minutes to hours and last for days

• If the infection is not eliminated or the tissue injury is prolonged

chronic inflammation

• Chronic inflammation sites tissue remodeling, with angiogenesis and

fibrosis

• Adaptive immunity may also be involved because cytokines produced by T cells are powerful inducers of inflammation

Page 55: Innate Immunity - Chiang Mai University Immunity... · Lecture outline • Overview of innate immunity • Innate recognition –Cell-associated receptors ... • Innate immunity

Innate immune initiation of inflammation

- Vasodilation : blood flow

- vascular permeability : leaks of plasma proteins (complement

proteins, antibodies, acute-phase reactant)

- adhesiveness of circulating leukocytes to the endothelial lining of venules : leads to accumulation of inflammatory cells

Role of innate immunity in stimulation adaptive immune responses

• The innate immune response provides signals that function in concert with antigen to stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of antigen-specific T and B lymphocytes

• The signals generated during innate immune responses to different microbes influence the nature of the adaptive response

Page 64: Innate Immunity - Chiang Mai University Immunity... · Lecture outline • Overview of innate immunity • Innate recognition –Cell-associated receptors ... • Innate immunity

Three kinds of signals are involved in activation of naïve T cells by antigen-presenting cells

Signal 1 : antigen-specific signals derived from the interaction of a specific peptide:MHC complex with the T-cell receptor

Signal 2 : the co-stimulatory signals that are primarily involved in promoting the survival and expansion of the T cells

Signal 3 : delivered by antigen-presenting cell, which are primarily involved in directing T- cell differentiation into the different subsets of effector T cells
