PAMP: pathogen-associated molecular patterns PRR: pattern recognition receptor
6
Innate Immunity against Virus Infection
Humoral: interferon
Seluler : NK cell

8
Effects of interferon
9
Anti-viral activities triggered by α- and β-interferons (type I interferons) • Activation of genes that encode antiviral proteins, such as dsRNA-dependent protein kinase R and RNase L • Stimulation of production of major histocompatibility (MHC) class I molecules and proteasome proteins in the antigen-presenting cells (APCs) • Enhance the antiviral function of NK cells and adaptive immune cells (B cells, T cells) the production of antibody (B cells) and cytotoxic responses (T cells and NK cells) • Induction of apoptosis
10
Adaptive Immunity against Virus Infection
Humoral : Antibodi
Seluler : CD8 CTL
II. Immunopathology of viral infection
12
Immunopathology • In many viral infections, clinical symptoms such as fever, tissue damage, pain, and nausea are a consequence of the immune response • Damage caused by the immune system is known as immunopathology • For some viruses that do not directly kill cells (non-cytolytic viruses) the immune response is the main cause of disease
13
Effectors of a virus-induced immune pathology • fulminant innate immune response > e.g. cytokine expression • activated T-cells > CD8+ CTL (destruction of chronic infected cells, autoimmune reactions) • activated B-cells/plasma cells > auto reactive antibodies
14
Immunopathology of viral infections: examples
• Antibody-dependent enhancement of virus infection • Overreaction of the immune system “cytokine storm“ • Tissue destruction via the immune response against virusinfected cells • Induction of autoimmune reaction molecular mimicry“
dengue virus influenza virus hepatitis B virus coxsackievirus
III. “Antibody-dependent enhancement“ of virus infection Example: Dengue infection
16
Dengue infection • Caused by dengue virus, Flaviviridae, enveloped, single-stranded (+) RNA virus: DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, DEN-4, (DEN-5) • Can result in a range of symptoms : - No symptoms - Mild to moderate signs of the disease - severe complications Depends on : - Immune response (secondary heterologue infection) - Virus virulence

Antibody dependent enhacement
20
Antibody dependent enhacement
High levels of epitope occupancy antibodies can block the binding of virions to the cellular receptor or can block fusion at a post-binding stage Lower epitope occupancy levels antibodies can enhance the uptake of virions into cells by interacting with immunoglobulin (Fc) receptors.
IV. Overreaction of the immune system “cytokine storm“ (influenza virus)
22
Influenza virus • Orthomyxoviridae • enveloped virus • negative strand RNA genome • three types, A, B and C • Type A: o 16 subtypes of HA o 9 subtypes of NA • 5-120 nm, spiked particles • Eight genome segments in A and B
23
Antigenic drift Genom: o RNA genome o eight separate segments

Cytokine storm • over boarding reaction of the immune system based on enhanced production and release of inflammatory mediators (>150 cytokines, chemokines etc. etc.) • positive feedback increases reaction • live-threatening shock conditions including massive inflammations • observed by influenza, smallpox, Ebola, sepsis etc.
28
Cytokine storm in the lung following severe influenza infection
Viruses infect lung epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages produce progeny viruses and release cytokines/chemokines (mainly contains interferons) Cytokine/chemokine-activated macrophages and virally infected dendritic cells extensive immune response cytokine storm
Released chemokines attract more inflammatory cells to migrate from blood vessels into the site of inflammation, and these cells release additional chemokines/cytokines to amplify cytokine storm.

• In an ARDS condition, will oxigenation via intubation help?

Research: Is it possible to reduce the severity of influenza virus infection via the application of immune modulators?
Immune modulator: sphingosine analog (AAL-R)
V. Tissue destruction via the immune response against virus-infected cells (Hepatitis B)
32
Hepatitis B • Hepadnaviridae, enveloped, 40-42 nm in size, partially dsDNA circular genome • Transmission: parenteral via blood transfusion, needle stick injury, iv. drug abuse, sex, perinatal, asymptomatic HBsAg carrier often with more than 108 HBV- particle/ml blood, but also via shaver, toothbrush, tattooing, body piercing etc. • Symptoms: 2/3 without any symptoms, 1/3 with symptoms of an acute hepatitis with growing pains, bellyache, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea • cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer (reason of 80% of all liver cancers) • Therapy: interferon, nucleoside/tide analogs (e.g. Lamivudin) • Prevention: vaccination, aseptic conditions, control of blood donors, education
33
HBV infects the liver but does not cause direct cytopathology Cell-mediated immune lysis of infected cells produces the symptoms and resolves the infection Insufficient immunity can lead to chronic disease
34
VI. Induction of autoimmune reaction due to “molecular mimicry“ (example: coxsackievirus) Molecular mimicry: where a foreign antigen shares sequence or structural similarities with self-antigens
36
Diabetes mellitus
Type 1 diabetes = Juvenile diabetes • destruction of the insulinproducing beta cell of the islets of Langerhans complete insulin deficiency. • Genetic predisposition (HLA variants) > MHC molecules on cells • environmental factors like viral infections > autoimmune reaction
Type 2 diabetes = adult-onset diabetes • multiple factors like e.g. a genetic insulin resistance (insulin is produced but cannot bind to receptors increased insulin production accompanied by reduced efficacy increased blood sugar levels obesity), but obesity itself induces type 2 diabetes as well (metabolic syndrome)
