Mucosal immunity
Tasks
Infectious diseases defense
Tolerance of innocent Ag
Moicroflora –host symbiosis
• Colonization rezistance• Epithelial cells activation• Immune system development
• ? Why comensal bacteria don´t induce inflammation under physiologic conditions
Ag uptake
• DC• M cells.• Enterocytes• Macrophages
Ag presentation
Proffessional APC : DC, B cells, Macrophages
Innocent Ag– presented by immature DC (↓CD80,86), IL-10, TGF-β, Th2, Th3 Oral tolerance
Pathogen – presented by mature DC (↑ CD80,86), IL-12Inflammation
Recirculace
Homing
• α4β7 integrin (homing receptor) – MadCAM – 1(adresin)
Common mucosal immune systemSpolečný slizniční imunitní systém
IgA transport
IgA properties and function
• Proteases resistance• Neutralization of viruses and toxins (also IC)• Microbs Adherence and invasion inhibition• Opsonization• ADCC• Antiinflammatory effect
Oral tolerance
High doses of Ag - Anergy,deletion of autoreactive lymphocytes
Low doses of Ag - Active supression, inhibitory cytokines production (TGF-β)
Experimental models• RA• SM• DM
Mucosal vaccines
• Replicating Ag• Corpuscular Ag aimed to M cells – vectors
(liposomes, micropatticles)• Epithelial cell binding proteins (cholera toxin)
