Questions and Answers

What is the primary role of DNase in the context of NETs and bacterial evasion?

DNase is a component of NETs, directly contributing to their antimicrobial properties.

DNase is secreted by neutrophils to degrade bacterial DNA, thus aiding in their entrapment.

DNase breaks down NETs, allowing bacteria to escape. (correct)

DNase is produced by bacteria to degrade their own DNA, preventing entrapment by NETs.

Which of the following accurately describes the interaction between NETs and bacteria?

NETs are primarily involved in trapping and killing viruses, not bacteria.

NETs are always effective in trapping and killing all types of bacteria.

NETs are only effective against specific bacterial species, while others remain unaffected.

NETs are an innate immune response that effectively traps bacteria, but some bacteria have evolved mechanisms to evade them. (correct)

What is the significance of the presence of proteins within NETs?

Proteins are primarily involved in breaking down NETs, facilitating bacterial escape.

Proteins are inert components of NETs, solely providing structural integrity.

Proteins serve as signaling molecules, attracting other immune cells to the site of infection. (correct)

Proteins are responsible for degrading bacterial cell walls, directly killing bacteria.

Study Notes

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs)

NETs are a defense mechanism utilized by neutrophils to ensnare and neutralize pathogens.
Certain pathogens have developed strategies to evade NETs.

Natural Killer (NK) Cells and Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTLs)

NK cells induce apoptosis in infected cells, similar to CTLs, effectively killing them.
The mechanism of action involves prompting cells to undergo programmed cell death.

Monokines

Monokines are a type of cytokine secreted by monocytes or macrophages.
They play a role in immune responses without the involvement of antibodies.

Serum Amyloid P Component and Alpha-1 Acid Glycoprotein

Serum amyloid P component and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein are associated with immune responses.

Immunoglobulin M (IgM)

IgM is a type of antibody that plays a crucial role in the immune system by attaching to antigens.
Antibodies recognize and bind to proteins or large structures that serve as antigens.

Complement Activation

The alternative pathway of the complement system can be activated by the interaction between C3b and pathogens.

Phagocytosis

Macrophages can ingest and eliminate bacteria through a process called phagocytosis, enhancing immune defense.
