Edema
• Leakage of vascular fluid (exudate) into tissue
• Exudate - plasma proteins, blood cells (wbc), debris, and pus
• Migration of wbc is called diapedesis or transmigration– Chemotaxis
![Page 54: Topics - Defense Mechanisms - Systems - Non-specific immunity](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071602/613d66d9736caf36b75ce6da/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Interferon
• Produced due to viral infections, microbe infections, RNA, immune products, and antigens

Synthesis
• WBCs• Tissue cells

Classes
• Interferon alpha– Product of lymphocytes and macrophages
• Interferon beta– Product of fibroblasts and epithelial cells
• Interferon gamma– Product of T cells

71
Activity
• Ex. Virus - binds to host cell • A signal is sent to the nucleus to synthesized
(transcription and translation) interferon• Interferon is secreted • Binds to other host cells• Host cells produce antiviral proteins
– inhibit viral multiplication or translation• Not virus-specific

Interferon is produced, released, and taken-up by a near-by cell, where by original cell is not protected but the recipient cell is protected.

Other Roles of Interferon
• Activates and instructs T and B cell development
• Inhibits cancer cells• Activates macrophages

Complement
• Consist of 26 blood proteins• Produced by liver hepatocytes,
lymphocytes, and monocytes• Pathways • Cascade reaction• Stages

Pathways
• Classical – activated by the presence of antibody bound to
microbes• Lectin
– activated when a host serum protein binds a sugar (mannan) in the wall of fungi and other microbes
• Alternative – activated when complement proteins bind to cell
wall or surface components of microbes

Stages
• Initiation• Amplification and cascade• Polymerization• Membrane attack

The classical pathway begins with C1 components binding to antibodies, and ends by puncturing small pores through the membrane, leading to lysis.

Effects of Complement Activation
• Opsonization or immune adherence: enhanced phagocytosis
• Membrane attack complex: cytolysis
• Attract phagocytes

Some bacteria evade complement
• Capsules prevent C activation• Surface lipid-carbohydrates prevent
MAC formation• Enzymatic digestion of C5a
