Innate Immunity Adaptive Immunity
Functions
• Innate immunity is the initial response to microbes that prevents, controls, or eliminates infection of the host by many microbes.
• Innate immune mechanisms recognize the products of damaged and dead host cells and serve to eliminate these cells and to initiate the process of tissue repair.
• Innate immunity to microbes stimulates adaptive immune responses and can influence the nature of the adaptive responses to make them optimally effective against different types of microbes.

Innate Immune Receptors
Innate immune receptors are not clonally distributed
Binding of receptors results in rapid response
Innate immune receptors mediate three functions:
- phagocytic receptors to stimulate pathogen uptake
- chemotactic receptors that guide phagocytes to site of infection
- stimulate production of effector molecules and cytokines that induce
innate responses and also influence downstream adaptive immune responses
36
Most microorganisms express repeating patterns of molecular structures termed Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs)
Endogenous molecules that are produced by or released from damaged and dying cells are called Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs)
Innate immune system has evolved mechanisms capable of recognizing these repeating patterns termed Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs)

Summary and Review of Innate Immune Responses

Correlation between innate immunity and adaptive immunity
• Initiation of adaptive immunity
• Influence on type of adaptive immunity
• Participate in effect phase of adaptive immunity
NK cells
NK cells were defined initially
by their ability to lyse certain
tumor cell lines and virally
infected cells without prior
immunization, and so mediate
a form of innate (or natural)
immunity that is termed
“natural killing”.

The receptors associated with activation or inhibition
1.The receptors recognizing MHC moleculesⅠ(1) Killer immunoglobulin-like receptor, KIR KIR 2DL ITIM inhibitory receptor KIR 2DS binding with DAP-12( ITAM) activating receptor KIR 3DL ITIM inhibitory receptor KIR 3DS binding with DAP-12( ITAM) activating receptor Intracellular signaling pathways coordinate inhibitory and
activating signals

activating receptor
NK receptors: ‘Defense is the best offense”
While both KIRs and KLRs sense the presence (absence) of MHC class I molecules, activating as well as inhibitory receptors are found in both families of receptors.
- The KIRs are subdivided according to the number of immunoglobulin-like domains (2 or 3 domains) and the length of their cytoplasmic tail: Short tail = activating receptorsLong tail = inhibitory receptors
- The KLR are heterodimers of CD94 associated with a NKG2 molecule. Six distinct NKG2 isoforms exist in humans.NKG2C/CD94 = activating receptorNKG2A/CD94 = inhibitory receptorNKG2B/CD94 = inhibitory receptorNKG2D homodimer = activating receptor.
72
(3) The significance of KIR and KLR
NK cells are prevented from killing host cells
because they recognize the host class MHC Ⅰmolecules. Thus, they only attack cells whose
class MHC molecules are lost or altered, as occurs Ⅰfrequently in malignancy or viral infection.
2. The receptors recognizing non-MHC Ⅰmolecules
(1) NKG2D binding with DAP-10 ( ITAM) activating receptor ligand: M C A/B (on some tumor cells)Ⅰ
(2) natural cytotoxicity receptor, NCR NKp46,NKp30 binding with CD3( ) NKp44 expressed on activated NK cells binding with DAP-12 ( ITAM) activating receptor
75
Functions of NK cells
1. Anti-infection provide an early innate barrier to infection by
eliminating infected host cells
2. Anti-tumor kill tumor cells directly: perforin, granzymes, ADCC
3. Immunoregulation Activated NK cells produce cytokines such as IFN-,
TNF-, G-CSF. These cytokines can activate T cells.

target cell apoptosis
Release of cytotoxic granules at the site of contact with infected cells
- First contact between a CTL or NK cell with infected cells is via non-specific binding of adhesion molecules (LFA-1 (blue) on T and NK cells with ICAM-1 or ICAM-2 (brown) on target cells). This makes a channel between the target and the cytotoxic cell. - Specific antigen/MHC class I recognition by TCR on CTL, or engagement of the NK’s natural cytotoxic receptors (NCR) (green) by non-MHC ligands (orange) on the surface of the target cell. This results in a polarization of the cell: the actin cytoskeleton (green staining in the immunofluorescence microscopy) at the site of contact is reorganized as to aligning the microtubule-organizing center (MTOC), as well as the secretory apparatus, including the Golgi (GA). The GA-derived lytic granules (stained in red in the photomicrograph) are specifically directed onto the target cell.- The content of the granules is directly released onto the target cell.
Target cell
NK cell
Why are NK cells prominent tumor killers?
- The regression of transplanted tumors in a normal mouse model (blue line) is largely due to the action of CTLs recognizing tumor antigens presented on MHC class I (right panel). Albeit the presence of NK cells, this regression is absent in nude mice (red line) in which CTLs do not develop. -Tumor variants that express low levels of MHC class I become susceptible to NK cells, especially in nude mice (have higher levels of NK cells than wild type mice). Thus tumors that are sensitive to NK killing grow less well in nude than normal mice (central panel).- Transfection of MHC class I genes resulting in high expression of this protein restores NK cell resistance but susceptibility to CTL in normal mice (left panel; blue line).
Similar to many pathogens, tumor cells can escape the adaptive immune system, by downregulating the expression of MHC class I.This makes them more susceptible to NK cells.
