L2 Overview of innate immunity
This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.
3 Essential functions
1) Initial response to microbes |
2) Eliminate damaged cells and initiate the process of tissue repair |
3) Stimulate adaptive immune response |
2 types of responses |
| |
1) Inflammation |
| |
2) Anti-viral defence |

Components of innate immunity
1.Anatomical barrier: |
- Physical barriers - Chemical barriers |
2.Cell: |
- Phagocytic cells - Dendritic cell - NK cells, ILC |
3.Soluble protein: |
- Complement - Cytokines, chemokines - Antimicrobial substances |
|

Cellular response
Phagocytic cells: - Macrophage, neutrophil |
“Phagocytosis” 1) Dendritic cell -> activate adaptive immune response |
The immune system 1) Detects/senses the presence of a pathogen 2) Mounts a response |
