Non-Immunological Host Barriers to Infection Epithelial Surfaces • Gastrointestinal, respiratory, genito-urinary linings • Ciliated epithelium and mucous secretions • Epidermal barriers Cellular Secretions • Biochemical barriers : Enzymes (can come from innate immune response system) • Chemical barriers: pH, oxidants (can come from innate immune responses) Physical Barriers Elevated Temperature (Fever) Cellular Competition: Gut flora

8. Innate Natural Immune Responses to Infectious Agents Gram-positive Bacteria - Peptidoglycan (exposed) • Activates alternative complement pathway - C3b • Opsonizes Bacteria for Enhanced Host Phagocytosis Gram-negative Bacteria - 2nd Envelope over Peptidoglycan • Bacterial Endotoxins - e.g. Lipopolysaccharide • Stimulates Cytokines (TNF, IL-1, IL-6) • From Macrophages and endothelial cells • Activates Macrophages Interferon Stimulation by Viral Infectious Agents • Can Directly inhibit viral production • Can activate and stimulate NK Cells to attack virally infected cells • Possibly by viral effect on MHC Class I Protein Synthesis

9. Innate Natural Immunity and Anti-Viral Responses Type I Interferons (IFN and IFN) • Produced by Virally-infected Cells • Also from Monocytes, Macrophages, and Fibroblasts Mechanims of Action of IFN and IFN • Infected cell produces membrane receptors for IFN and  • Activates an RNAase that cleaves viral RNA • Inactivates viral protein synthesis by effects on dsRNA-dependent protein kinase • Induces Anti-viral response and resistance to intra-cellular viral replication NK Cells • Activated by IFN and IFN; become cytotoxic for virally-infected cells • Also activated by IL-12 - produced in response to viral infection

10. Humoral Immunity & Anti-Viral Responses Antibody-mediated Anti-viral Responses • Prevent initial infection or reinfection • Less effective against intracellular viral infections • Less effective against viral DNA incorporated into host genome Secretory IgA - Blocks viral binding to target cells General Immunoglobulin Isotypes • Block Fusion Between Virus Envelop and Host Cell Membrane • Enhance phagocytosis by opsonization of viral particles IgM - Agglutinates viral particles IgM and IgG - Activates Complement • Opsonization by Complement Fragment C3b for phagocytosis • Lysis of virus envelop by membrane attack complex

11. Cell-Mediated Immunity & Anti-Viral Responses Interferon  • From TH1 Helper T-Cells or Tc • Direct Anti-viral Action Cytoxic T-Cells (CTLs) • Kill virus-infected cells; Eliminates source of additional virus • Presentation of Viral Peptides by MHC-Class I Proteins • Virus-specific T-cell Clones; Can confer specific immunity by passive (adoptive) transfer to unifective recipient NK Cells and Macrophages • Antibody recognition of virus antigens on cell surface • Kill by ADCC (Antibody-dependent Cell-mediated Cytotoxicity) Activated TH1 Cells • IFN, IL-2, TNF attack virus directly or indirectly • IFN has direct anti-viral effects • IL-2 Recruits Tc to become Effector CTL

14. Viral Evasion of Host Responses:Effects on Infected Cells Block Intra-cellular Effects of IFN and IFN • Blocks intra-cellular effects on PKR - RNA-dependent protein kinase • By hepatitis C virus Inhibition of Antigen-Presentation in Virally-infected Cells • By Herpes Simplex 1 and 2 (HSV1 and HSV2) Early Proteins • Inhibits TAP (Transporter Associated with Antigenic Protein) • Blocks delivery of Antigenic Peptide to MHC-Class I Protein • No presentation to CD8+ CTL Down-regulation (Shutting Down) of Class I MHC Proteins • CMV (Cytomegalo Virus) and Adeno Viruses Block Class II MHC Protein • Blocks Antigen-specific Anti-viral Helper T-Cells • By CMV, Measles, HIV

16. Pathogenicity of Influenza Virus Host Range: • Mammals, Birds • Can cross species barriers Duck influenza can infect pigs Pig influenza can infect humans • Can produce extensive antigenic reassortments - "antigenic shift" • Subject to Point Mutations in Hemagglutin (Binds to Host-Cell Sialic Acid) - "Antigenic Drift" Host resistance based on Ab to Hemagglutin is by-passed Influenza Pandemics • Killed 20 Million - Post World War I (1918 - 1919) • Largely Young Adults Lower prior exposure and cross-reactive immunity? More extensive exposure to infected persons? Over-aggressive inflammatory immune response?

21. Host Response to Influenza Virus Humoral Immune Response to Influenza Virus • Antibody Strain-Specific for Virus Hemagglutinin in Virus Envelop • Prevents Virus Binding to Host Target Cell • Antibodies Block Binding Cleft in HA for Host Cell Membrane Sialic Acid Antibody titer peaks within a few days after infection Decreases for six months Plateaus and persists for several years • Antigenic Shift involving entire viral single-stranded RNA's incorporation and increase in infectivity of newly arising influenza strain. • Antigenic Drift involves point mutations in Hemagglutinin or Neuraminidase allowing for viral escape from antibody inhibition. Host Protection from Influenza Infection • Antibody prevents reinfection by same strain of Influenza • Antigenic drift of viral HA requires re-vaccination for newly emergent or re-emerging strains • Serum antibody not required for recovery after infection • CTL's may play a role in responses after infection
