Innate vs. Adaptive Immunity
Innate
• Primitive (found in all
multicellular organisms)
• Directed towards types of
molecules
• Effectors are broadly
reactive
• Response is immediate
• No anamnestic responses
• Effectors: epithelial cells,
phagocytes, endothelial
cells, fibroblasts
Adaptive
• Only in vertebrates
• Directed towards specific
epitopes
• Response is slow
• Effectors are highly
specific
• Memory persists
• Effectors: Lymphocytes,
APCs

Immunity
Defects in Innate Immunity
• Chronic granulomatous disease--CGD (pyogenic
infections, Aspergillus)
• Burns/chemotherapy: Loss of barrier integrity
(bacteria, yeasts)
• Neutropenia (bacteria, yeasts, molds)
• Rare specific defects in cytokines/receptors
(susceptibility to particular infections)
• Complement deficiencies (meningococcus)
• Corticosteroids (Aspergillus, Candida,
herpesviruses)
Defects in Adaptive Immunity
• SCID--no T or B cells (severe, fatal infections)
• AIDS--loss of CD4+ T cells (Intracellular
pathogens, fungi, viruses, pyogenic infections,
etc.)
• Transplant--immunsuppression of T cells (viral,
fungal)
• Common Variable Immunodeficiency (decreased
IgG)--generally mild increase in sinopulmonary
bacterial infections
• Asplenia--encapsulated bacteria
• Corticosteroids
Molecular features of Innate
Immunity
• Certain proteins are vital to functioning of
the innate immune system
• Both natural and acquired defects in these
proteins give clues to their roles in defense.
• These proteins are present in a wide variety
of species

Toll-like receptor structure
Pattern recognition receptors
Newly described PRRs
• TLR11--identifies uropathogenic E. coli in
humans (not clear what molecule yet)
• Nod1--intracellular receptor with Nterminal CARD domain and C-terminal
LRRs. Recognizes intracellular Shigella
flexneri
• Nod2--similar to Nod1. Ligand not known,
but is associated with Crohn’s disease
