Mathews, Ph.D. Introduction The complement system is a group of more than 30 plasma and membrane proteins that play a critical role in host defense. When activated, complement components interact in a highly regulated fashion to generate products that: Recruit inflammatory cells (promoting inflammation). Opsonize microbial pathogens and immune complexes (facilitating antigen clearance). Kill microbial pathogens (via a lytic mechanism known as the membrane attack complex). Generate an inflammatory response. Complement activation takes place on antigenic surfaces. However, the activation of complement generates several soluble fragments that have important biologic activity.

The immune system What happens when it goes wrong? persistent or fatal infections allergy autoimmune disease transplant rejection What is it for? To identify and eliminate harmful “non-self” microorganisms and harmful substances such as toxins, by distinguishing ‘self’ from ‘non-self’ proteins or by identifying ‘danger’ signals (e.g. from inflammation) The immune system has to strike a balance between clearing the pathogen and causing accidental damage to the host (immunopathology). Basic Principles The innate immune system works rapidly (within minutes) and has broad specificity The adaptive immune system takes longer (days) and has exisite specificity Generation Times and Evolution Bacteria- minutes Viruses- hours Host- years The pathogen replicates and hence evolves millions of times faster than the host, therefore the host relies on a flexible and rapid immune response Out most polymorphic (variable) genes, such as HLA and KIR, are those that control the immune system, and these have been selected for by infectious diseases 2.

  • Neutrophil Elastase Cleaves C3bi on Opsonized Pseudomonas As Well As CR1 on Neutrophils to Create a Functionally Important Opsonin Receptor Mismatch
    Neutrophil elastase cleaves C3bi on opsonized pseudomonas as well as CR1 on neutrophils to create a functionally important opsonin receptor mismatch. M F Tosi, … , H Zakem, M Berger J Clin Invest. 1990;86(1):300-308. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI114699. Research Article Neutrophil elastase has been implicated as a factor that impairs local host defenses in chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) lung infection in cystic fibrosis (CF). We recently showed that this enzyme cleaves the C3b receptor, CR1, from neutrophils (PMN) in the lungs of infected CF patients. The C3bi receptor on these cells, CR3, is resistant to elastase. We now show that purified neutrophil elastase markedly impairs complement-mediated PMN-Pa interactions including phagocytosis of opsonized Pa, stimulation by opsonized Pa of PMN superoxide production, and killing of opsonized Pa by PMN. When PMN and opsonized Pa were treated separately with elastase, additive levels of inhibition were observed in each of the above assays. The effects on the bacteria were due to cleavage of the bound C3bi from the surface of opsonized Pa by neutrophil elastase. C3bi was also cleaved by pseudomonas elastase, or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from CF patients with chronic Pa lung infection. Inhibitors of neutrophil elastase eliminated C3bi cleavage by BAL fluid, while inhibitors of pseudomonas elastase had no effect. Blocking CR1 and CR3 on PMN with specific monoclonal antibodies reduced phagocytosis of opsonized Pa to an extent similar to that caused by elastase cleavage of CR1 on PMN and C3bi on Pa. We conclude that neutrophil elastase in the lungs of chronically infected CF patients cleaves C3bi from opsonized Pa […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/114699/pdf Neutrophil Elastase Cleaves C3bi on Opsonized Pseudomonas as well as CR1 on Neutrophils to Create a Functionally Important Opsonin Receptor Mismatch Michael F.

  • Mechanism of Inhibition of Immunoglobulin G-Mediated Phagocytosis by Monoclonal Antibodies That Recognize the Mac- 1 Antigen
    Mechanism of inhibition of immunoglobulin G-mediated phagocytosis by monoclonal antibodies that recognize the Mac- 1 antigen. E J Brown, … , J F Bohnsack, H D Gresham J Clin Invest. 1988;81(2):365-375. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI113328. Research Article We have investigated the effects of the monoclonal antibodies against the cell surface molecule Mac-1 on C3bi-mediated rosetting and IgG-mediated rosetting and phagocytosis by human peripheral blood monocytes. Highly purified M1/70 F(ab')2, used in the fluid phase, inhibited both monocyte functions. Half-maximal C3bi rosette inhibition occurred at a concentration of 2 nM F(ab')2 M1/70. An equivalent decrease in IgG-mediated rosetting required 10 nM M1/70 F(ab')2, and 50% inhibition of IgG-mediated phagocytosis required 7 nM antibody. Mo-1 F(ab')2 inhibited EC3bi binding with an ID50 of 0.3 nM, whereas 50% decrease in IgG-mediated rosetting required 70 nM of this antibody. OKM1 did not inhibit rosettes of sheep erythrocytes opsonized with IgG antibody (EA) at all. F(ab')2 M1/70 did not affect the binding of monomeric human IgG to monocytes, but did substantially decrease the binding of IgG aggregates. Half-maximal inhibition of aggregated IgG binding at 0 degrees C occurred at 8 nM F(ab')2 M1/70, very close to the concentration that caused equivalent inhibition of IgG-mediated phagocytosis. Aggregated IgG inhibited the binding of radiolabeled M1/70 to monocytes by approximately 40%, suggesting that some, but not all Mac-1 molecules were associated with IgG receptors under these conditions.
