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.
  • Based on the information provided, what can be inferred about the nature of bacterial evasion of NETs?

    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.
