Mucosal immunity and diseases (Paul de Vos)
12 important questions on Mucosal immunity and diseases (Paul de Vos)
How does IgA cause the neutralizing and immunization of toxins?
2) IgA is able to bind and neutralize antigens internalized in endosomes.
3) IgA can export toxins and pathogens from the lamina propria while being secreted.
When it goes wrong and bacteria come in: describe the neutrophil extracellular trap (NETosis)
NET formation is associated with bacterial clearance, but also with thrombosis, sepsis and SLE.
We cannot live without commensals. What are the 4 uses of commensals?
- produce small chain fatty acids (SCFA)
- stimulates mucus production.
2) Inhibit pathogenic bacteria
- by decreasing luminal pH, bacteriocidal proteins, blocking epithelial binding
3) Immunoregulatory
- Stimulates anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL10 and TGF-b)
- Stimulates IgA production
4) Mandatory for our metabolism
- primary source vitamins
- digestion of complex diet components (cellulose)
- source for SCFA
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
Behind the epithelium lies GALT (Gut associated lymphoid tissue). What kind of receptor keep the balance between immunity versus tolerance?
What is the physiological role of zonulin?
What is the pathophysiological role of zonulin in celiac disease?
2) Release of zonulin.
3) Zonulin causes claudin modification in the tight junction and causes a increase of permeability, gliadin now passes the lamina propria.
4) After deamination gliadin binds to MHC or HLA on APC or on CXCR3 expressing cells such as APCs, NK cells and T cells.
5) Cytokines are released by APCs and gliadin is presented to T cells.
6) The final outcome entails a huge activation of both humoral and cellular nature.
How can leaky gut be related to type 1 diabetes?
Which molecule causes the blockage in tight junctions for molecules > 3.5 kDa?
Which receptors and cytokines differ in APC to differentiate a CD4/CD8 or Treg cell?
Th# -> TLRs
What is the normal processing of macromolecules (< 3.5 kDa) through epithelial cells from intenstinal lumen?
Naive T cells that enter Peyer's patches from blood vessels directed by the homing receptor CCR7 and L-selectin. Describe how the homing progresses further, and how different chemokine receptors determine homing in the small and large intestines.
2) Activated T cells drain via mesenteric lymph nodes to the thoracic duct and return to the gut via the bloodstream.
3) Gut-homing effector T cells bind MAdCAM-1 on endothelium.
4) Activated T cells expressing alpha-4B7 integrin and CCR9 home into the small intestine.
T cells expressing CCR10 home into the large intestine.
In the lamina propria it is decided whether the mature T cells differentiate into intra-epithelial lymphocytes. How is this organized and what does this allow?
This allows binding to E-cadherin on epithelium.
