First line of defence Innate immunity is prorammed : To recognize broad range of molecules associated with pathogens . To destroy invaders rapidly: - Activation of the phagocytic system and arousal of an infl a mmatory response are initiated. 8/29/2024 4 Prof. Sreerama Krupanidhi
Two main goals of the innate immunity To induce inflammation To achieve antiviral defense 8/29/2024 5 Prof. Sreerama Krupanidhi
Recognition of the microbes by innate immunity To recognize structures :- C ommon to various microbial agent s , but not present in human . Phagocytes have LPS specific receptors . Phagocytes recognise and respon d to: Ds RNA, unmethylated CpG , oligonucleotides . 8/29/2024 6 Prof. Sreerama Krupanidhi
PAMPs vs. PRRs The molecules of microbes targeted by th e immune system are pathogen asscociated molecular patterns ( PAMPs) . The receptors of the innate immunity for these molecules are “pattern recognition receptors ” (PRRs) . The targets of the innate immunity are critical regarding the survival and infectivity of the microbes . 8/29/2024 7 Prof. Sreerama Krupanidhi
DAMPs Innate immunity can also recognise those molecules released from d a maged or stressed cells of the body damage asscociated molecular patterns (DAMPs) 8/29/2024 8 Prof. Sreerama Krupanidhi
Innate immune Receptors These receptors are encoded in the germline Receptors expressed on all cells of a certain type (not clonal) Innate immunity invariably does not rea c t against the host as it is ontogenetically conditioned. I nnate immunity always respond in the same way to repeated pathogenic invasions . 8/29/2024 9 Prof. Sreerama Krupanidhi

TLR signalling in DCs & Macrophages 8/29/2024 13 Prof. Sreerama Krupanidhi
TLRs mediate through TFs TLR activates transcri p tion factors, which stimulate the expression of genes encoding cytokines, enzymes and other proteins . Most important transcription factors are: Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) and interferon response factor -3 (IRF-3) . 8/29/2024 14 Prof. Sreerama Krupanidhi
NF-kappa B & IRF-3 NF-kappa B promotes expression of cytokines and endothelial adhesion factor . IRF-3 stimulates type I interferons and cytokines with antiviral activity . 8/29/2024 15 Prof. Sreerama Krupanidhi
Soluble Defense Mechanisms T y pe I interferons : DC (IFN-alfa), fibroblasts (IFN-beta) Microbicidal molecules : Epithelial cells, PMN and macrophages secrete cystein e rich peptides (defensines). Others are cathelic i dine, lysozyme, DNAase, RNAase . 8/29/2024 16 Prof. Sreerama Krupanidhi

SUMMARY Innate immunity (I.I.) is the first line of defence. I.I. comprises of cellular components, receptors and mediators of inflammation. Pathogens are having their own molecular patterns called PAMPs. Macrophages are endowed with TLRs , PRR for antibacterial response. Complement proteins lyse bacterial cells. Inflammation with acute-phase reactants kills/ drives pathogens out. 8/29/2024 29 Prof. Sreerama Krupanidhi
Nobel reward for the Scientists deciphered Innate immunity in the year 2011 Dr. Jules A. Hoffmann and Dr. Bruce A. Beutler shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries about the role of Toll-like receptors in innate immunity. 8/29/2024 30 Dr. Jules A. Hoffmann Dr. Bruce A. Beutler Prof. Sreerama Krupanidhi
Study Questions Why is Innate Immunity called as First line of defense? How do phagocytes recognize pathogens? Elaborate the acronyms: PAMPs, PARs, TLRs, NFkB and DC. Elaborate the steps in Phagocytosis . Enlist acute-phase reactants in Innate Immunity. What would be the consequence if the Innate immunity fails; and adaptive immunity prevails? 8/29/2024 31 Prof. Sreerama Krupanidhi
