Immunity against infection
• Institute of Immunology
• 2nd Faculty of Medicine
• Prague 5- Motol
Janeway’s Immunobiology 8th Edition / Kenneth Murphy
Pathogenic microorganisms
Parasites
Protozoa
Helmints
Fungi
Host-pathogen interaction
• mechanisms of pathogenicity
• immune escape mechanisms
• number of pathogens
• genes regulating immune responses
• health condition of the host
Epithelial barriers against infection
• Mechanical (intact epithelial surface, longitudinal flow of
air or fluid, movements of mucous by cilia)
• Chemical (skin - fatty acids, enzymes - lysozym in saliva
or tears, pepsin in the gut, low pH, anti-bacterial
peptides)
• Microbiological (normal microbiota – competition for
nutrients, blocking of adhesion, production of antimicrobial substances )
Bordetella pertussis
Mucosal immunity
• 400 m2
• defence against invasion of pathogenic microorganisms
• defence against harmful inflammatory reactions against pathogens,
…..but also against harmless environmental antigens
(oral tolerance)
Oral tolerance
• Default response to oral administration of antigens (food)
• Immune unresponsivness
• It can be overcome by administration of adjuvants
Immune mechanisms of oral tolerance:
• Active suppression by T regulatory cells producing TGF-β, IL-10
• Clonal anergy
• Tolerogenic dendritic cells (CD103+)
Mucosal immune responses
• MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) GALT, BALT, NALT
• o-MALT (organized, Peyer’s patches, lymphoid follicles, FAE)
• d-MALT (scattered, effector site, IEL, lamina propria lymfocyty)
IgA
M-cells
IgA
Immunoglobulin A
•
•
•
IgA1 (respiratory tract, serum – 87% monomeric, bone marrow)
IgA2 (gastrointestinal tract, dimeric form)
production 24 mg/kg/day
•
IgA binds to a secretory component and is transported by transcytosis to
the luminal surface of the epithelium
Secretory IgA is resistant to proteolytic enzymes
IgA binds unspecifically to bacteria
Main function is to neutralize toxins and to block adhesion of pathogens
Anti-inflammatory effect (IgA does not activate complement)
•
•
•
•
•
Sensitive to proteolysis by
bacterial proteases (IgA1)
(H.influenzae, N.gonorrheae)
Development of immune response to pathogens
Host cellular receptors serve as portals of entry for pathogens
• mainly viruses (CD4 – HIV; CD21 – EBV)
• bacteria (CR3 – Mycobacterium, Bordetella; β1-integrins – Yersinia, E.coli)
Innate immunity in defence against pathogens
Cellular innate immunity
•
•
•
•
•
•
Phagocytes
Antigen-presenting cells (APC)
Cytotoxic activity of NK cells
T lymphocytes gama/delta
B1 lymphocytes CD5+
NK-T lymphocytes
Humoral innate immunity
Phagocytosis of M.tuberculosis
•
•
•
•
Alternative and lectin pathway of complement activation
Production of interferons and cytokines
Local inflammatory response
Production of acute-phase proteins
Adaptive immunity in defence against pathogens
Cellular adaptive immunity
•
•
•
•
•
Antigen-presenting cells (APC)
Activation of T and B lymphocytes
Functional differentiation of T lymphocytes (Th1, Th2, Th17)
Induction of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL)
Immunological memory (affinity maturation, memory lymphocytes,
long-lasting presentation of immunocomplexes on FDC)
Humoral adaptive immunity
• antibodies
• cytokines
Localization of infection and type of immune response
Defence against extracellular bacteria
• Bacteria producing toxins (C.tetani, C.botulinum, C.diphtheriae)
• Polysaccharide capsule (Streptococci, Neisseria, Staphylococci)
•
•
•
•
Opsonization - complement, lectin or antibodies
Neutralization - antibodies
Phagocytosis – neutrophils, macrophages
B lymphocytes (IgM), Th2 response (IgA, IgG1)
• People with defect in phagocytosis, complement and antibody production
at risk
• bacteria with polysaccharide capsule dangerous for small
children (up to 2y) and people with a defective spleen
function, or after splenectomy.
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Defence against Streptococcus pyogenes
• primary pathogenic, human is a carrier
• toxin production
• neutralization
• M protein – resistance to phagocytosis • opsonization
• autoimmune-mediated complications:
cross-reactivity of antibodies against M protein with host proteins
• rheumatic fever, glumerulonephritis
• Semmelweiss – childbed fever
• antiseptic procedures
Defence against intracellular bacteria
• Intracellular parasites e.g Listeria, Mycobacterium, Brucella
•
•
•
•
•
Phagocytosis – macrophages
Antibodies are inefficient
Th1 response (IFN-γ production to activate macrophages)
Th17 response (IL-17 production for neutrophils recruitment)
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (Listeria monocytogenes)
• People with defects of innate and adaptive immunity at risk
Pathology:
granulomas
M. tuberculosis
Defence against viruses
Influenza virus
• Obligatory intracellular parasites
•
•
•
•
Interferons α and β
Neutralizing antibodies
Complement activation (virolysis)
B lymphocytes a Th2 response
• Activity of NK cells
• Th1 response
• Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL)
HIV
• People with T cell immunodeficiency, combined immunodeficiencies
and defect in NK cell function (herpesviruses) at risk
Defence against fungi
• Opportunistic pathogens
•
•
•
•
Neutrophils, macrophages
Th1 response (IFN-γ production to activate macrophages) Aspergillus fumigatus
Th17 response (IL-17 production for neutrophils recruitment)
Antibodies are inefficient
• Systemic disease only in immunocompromised
individuals
Candida albicans
Pneumocystis jirovecii (carinii)
Defence against protozoan infections
• Chronic non-symptomatic latent infection
• Antigenic variation, different developmental stages
• Intracellular (Plasmodium, Trypanosoma, Leishmania, Toxoplasma)

• Extracellular (Entameba, Giardia, Trichomonas)

is compromised or weakend
Trichomonas
Defence against helminths
• chronic persistent infection (e.g tapeworm, roundworm, pinworms)

Immune escape mechanisms of pathogens
• Antigenic variation (Influenza virus, S.pneumoniae, Trypanosoma)
• Antigenic mimicry (mimic the structures of host cells) – M protein
(the utility of host proteins – T. pallidum, B. burgdorferi)
• Inhibition of phagocytosis – capsule, protein M (Streptoccoci), toxins
• Inhibition of complement - (Borrelia burgdorferi – Factor H)
• Hiding inside the cells - (integration into genom - HIV, latency - herpesviruses)
• Inhibition of antigen presentation and MHC expression (Mycobacterium, viruses)
• Secretion of inhibitory factors (IL-10 analogue) or proteolytic enzymes (IgA)
