Transcript Lecture 3 Innate immunity continued

Grading:
Two midterm exams each worth 100 points
One final worth 150 points
The homework grade (100 points total) will be automatically
substituted for your lowest midterm!
However, you must take both midterms. If you have a valid excuse to
miss a midterm (e.g., death in family, severe illness, car accident on
the way to school), drop off a note signed by a relevant official to
Mandy Butler’s Office, York 3080. In that case, your homework will
substitute for the missing midterm. Do not miss a midterm without a
valid excuse. There will be no make-up midterms.
You must take the final. If you have a conflict with the Final date, let
me know immediately.
Lecture 3
Innate immunity and leukocyte migration
•Relationship between plant immunity and vertebrate immunity
NODs
RNA interference by small interfering RNAs
•Quick reviewcomplement and its subversion
phagocytosis
•Leukocyte migration/extravasation
•Lymphocyte recirculation
•Distinction between spleen and lymph nodes
Next lecture: antibodies (Reading Parham, Chapters 2 and 7)

NOD signaling activates NFkB transcription factor

NOD domain proteins are conserved between humans and
plants (they also are related to Toll like receptors [Tlrs])

How can a long lived organism like a tree survive without
adaptive immunity?
RNA interference as a widespread immune mechanism
Discovered in plants
dsRNA leads to dsRNA
degradation in infected cell,
but also sequence-specific
resistance by nearby cells
21-25bp dsRNAs

Immunological Reviews
The short dsRNAs serve as templates to direct destruction of other mRNAs

Concepts

•
•
The multilayered nature of immunity is a general
phenomenon.
RNAi is a novel type of host defense.
(While RNAi is not believed to be a major defense
mechanism in mammals, it is operational, and can be
harnessed, for example in gene therapy.)
The NOD pathway shows that even the loss of a single
aspect of innate immunity can have disastrous
consequences for the host. (Conserved genes are
conserved for a reason, they provide fitness).

The segregation of different cell types within lymph nodes is
controlled by chemokines and adhesion molecules.

Lymphocyte trafficking
Summary of Concepts discussed
1) Leukocyte movement is rapid and directed.
•
Tissue damage, microbial motifs stimulate cell migration through
selectin upregulation, chemokine expression, and cell adhesion.
2) Lymphoid tissue is organized.
•
Chemokines expressed by fixed and motile cells in lymph node and
spleen are important in organizing lymphoid architecture.
3) Different secondary lymphoid organs sample distinct compartments
•
Lymph nodes
•
Peyer's patches
•
Spleen
4) Complement cascade is complicated
5) Even plants share some immune mechanisms with us
(NODs, RNAi)
