Cells of innate immune system:
!!
Macrophages:
Macrophages are constitutively present in tissues and recognize microbes that enter
these tissues and respond rapidly to these microbes. Initiate the immune response
•These cells are phagocytes (eliminate the pathogens)
•Activate the innate immune response (by secreted proteins, called cytokines)
•Activate the adaptive immune system. Macrophages serve as APCs that display
antigens to and activate T lymphocytes
•Dendritic cells
are constitutively present in tissues and recognize rapidly microbes that enter these
tissues. Initiate the immune response.
•They have phagocytic capabilities
migrate to lymph nodes, and display microbial antigens to T lymphocytes,professional
antigen presentimg cells (APC)
Neutrophil granulocytes
are phagocytes, the main function to eliminate the pathogens
Appear only in the circulation under normal condition
Main actors In inflammatory processes
How do immunocytes communicate:
Soluble mediators
Infection
CYTOKINES & CHEMOKINES
Phagocyte activation
Soluble proteinsproduced by cells.
They have strong effect on the
function of other cells. Bit similar to

THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES OF CYTOKINES
 The most important mediators of indirect cell communication in the
immune system („hormones” of the immune system).
 Act in low concentrations.
Cytokines can affect in an autocrine way, in a paracrine way,
or in an endocrine way 
pleiotropic effect.
 Cytokines can act by synergistic or antagonistic ways to each other.
A given cell may by affected by many cytokines resulting in the
same effect  redundant effect.
-
The responsiveness of the given cell is based on the expression of
cytokine-specific receptors.
!
 Cytokines can be devided into sub-groups by origin and
functional properties.
Functional groups:
Inflammatory cytokines
Direct the development and maturation of immune cells
Direct activation and differentiation of immune cells

Phagocytosis, effector functions
Communication/ Antigen presentation 
 Intracellular – on surface MHC I complex proteins

Innate immunity as a first line of defence
Innate immune cells recognize frequently found
structures of pathogens,
these are not found in human cells!
Examples: duple strain RNA
bacterial cell wall components
bacterial flagellin….
Recognition is inevitable
!!
Danger signal!
!!
The innate immune system also recognizes molecules that are released from
damaged or necrotic cells. Such molecules are called damage-associated molecular
patterns (DAMPs).

NK cells
Major differences between NK cells and B/T lymphocytes:
Contain large cytoplasmic granules.
Responds fast, circulate in a partly activated state.
Do not express surface receptors produced by rearranged genes.
Have a range of cell-surface receptors that deliver activating or inhibitory signals
Have two main types of receptors: Ig-like Rs and the Lectin-like Rs (inhibitory and
activating) that recognize altered cell surface proteins as a result of a virus infection.
Overall balance of inhibitory or activating signals decides if the NK cell killing action
will take place.
Individual NK cells express different combinations of receptors- heterogeneity 
repertoire of responses to pathogens.
!
Killing of the cells infected with intracellular pathogens
1. The activity of NK cells is
enhanced by activatory
receptors
2. Inhibitory receptors block
NK cell activity. Self cells lysis
are protected by inhibitory
receptors.

INTERFERON RESPONSE
Besides virus infected cells..
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) produce 1000x more type I interferon than other cells
NATURAL INTERFERON PRODUCING CELLS – IPC
After viral infection they are accumulated at the T cell zone of the lymph nodes
EFFECTS OF TYPE I INTERFERONS
vírus
Activate cellular genes
that destroy viral mRNA
and inhibit translation of
viral proteins
NK cells have a basal
cytotoxicity level that is
increased up to x100 fold with
the exposure to type I IFNs and
produce IFN-γ when exposed
to IL-12
Helping the initiation of effector T
cells- adaptive immune
response.
