Defence mechanism in finfish and shellfish jassi 2Jaspreet Singh
Farming of fish and shellfish has gained significant grounds in several parts of the world .
Now a days disease is main problem in aquafarming.
In recent years ,lot of attention is being given to health management using various forms of immunoprophylactic techniques such as vaccination and immunostimulation .
To reduce immunoprophylactic application ,it is vital to have insight into specific and non specific defense mechanism of farmed animal .
Through disease process studies ,it is very well known that a pathogen can cause disease only if it can overcome the non specific and specific defense barriers of the host and successfully establish and proliferate

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Mucosal immunity of
Gastrointestinal tract
2. Introduction
GI tract has unique characteristic of being the largest organ exposed to
external antigens
multifunctional and serves as a mucosal barrier, an absorptive surface, and a
site of active immunity to foreign antigens
GI tract requires precise regulation to balance immune reactions against
foreign antigens while fostering the symbiotic, commensal microbiota.
Middleton 8th edition; gastrointestinal mucosal immunology
3. Structure cells and
function of GI tract
Middleton 8th edition; gastrointestinal mucosal immunology
6. Mucosal immune system
can be further divided into
1. The effector arm
phagocytes that engulf and kill microbes; cytotoxic T cells, B cells, helper T cells
2. The inductive arm
are organized lymphoid structures that bring together naive T cells, B cells, and
antigen-presenting cells
draining lymph nodes
specialized lymphoid structures:
PPs in small intestine
structurally similar lymphoid tissues in the rectum
smaller ILFs
cryptopatches (precursor to intestinal lymphoid follicles) scattered throughout intestine
Middleton 8th edition; gastrointestinal mucosal immunology
10. IEC regulation of barrier function
largest of the body's mucosal surfaces, covering ~400 m2 of surface area with a
single layer of cells organized into crypts and villi
This surface is continually renewed by pluripotent intestinal epithelial stem
cells that reside in the base of crypts
The proliferation, differentiation and functional potential of epithelial cell
progenitors is regulated by the local stem cell niche
Nature review; Intestinal epithelial cells. Vol14, 2014
11. IEC regulation of barrier function
Secretory IECs, including enteroendocrine cells, goblet cells and Paneth cells-
maintaining digestive or barrier function
luminal secretion of mucins and antimicrobial proteins (AMPs) by goblet cells
and Paneth cells
establishes a physical and biochemical barrier to microbial contact with the
epithelial surface and underlying immune cells
Nature review; Intestinal epithelial cells. Vol14, 2014
12. IEC anatomy
Extracellular components
Intracellular components
Nature review Immunol. Intestinal mucosal barrier function in health and disease, 2009
13. Extracellular components of IEC barrier
Mucin
A family of heavily glycosylated proteins that are secreted as large aggregates by
mucous epithelial cells
create a barrier that prevents large particles, including most bacteria
Unstirred layer
A thin layer of fluid at epithelial cell surfaces that is separated from the mixing
forces created by luminal flow and, in the intestine, peristalsis
protected from convective mixing forces, the diffusion of ions and small solutes is
slowed
slows nutrient absorption by reducing the rate
Nature review Immunol. Intestinal mucosal barrier function in health and disease, 2009
15. Cellular components of IEC barrier
In the presence of an intact epithelial cell layer, the paracellular pathway
between cells must be sealed.
This function is mediated by the apical junctional complex, which is
composed of the tight junction and subjacent adherens junction
supported by supported by a dense perijunictional ring of actin and myosin
Nature reviews Immunol. Intestinal mucosal barrier function in health and disease, 2009
16. Nature reviews Immunol. Intestinal mucosal barrier function in health and disease, 2009
Adherens junctions are
composed of cadherins
Adherens junctions
E-cadherin (also known
as cadherin-1), interacts
directly with catenin δ1
(also known as p120
catenin) and β-catenin
perijunctional actomyosin ring
Tight junctions
most important of the
transmembrane proteins
are members of the
claudin family

18. Antimicrobial peptides
First protective barrier in mucous layer of esophagus: mucin-2 and glycoprotein
TFF (Trefoil factors) produced by goblet cells: protease-resistant peptides
+promote cell survival and migration
Mucous layer of small intestine: sIgA and antimicrobial peptides
IL-1,IL-4,IL-6,IL-9,IL-13, TNF, type 1 IFN, neutrophil products, microbial adhesive
proteins increase mucin gene expression
Middleton 8th edition; gastrointestinal mucosal immunology
Cellular and Molecular Immunology, 8th Edition
19. Defensin families
Defensins: peptides exert lethal toxic effects on microbes by causing loss of integrity
of their outer phospholipid membrane
1. α-defensin: Human neutrophil peptides 1-6, human α-defensin (HD), cryptidins
HD 5-6 major defensins in small bowel

21. Toll-like and NOD-like receptors
Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)
PRRs recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) such as
lipopolysaccharide
flagellin
bacterial DNA and RNA
PRRs fall into three families
Toll-like receptors (TLRs)
NOD-like receptors (NLRs)
retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLRs)

24. TLR3, TLR4,TLR5 – basolateral
TLR2 and TLR9: IECs that
neighbour Mcells and
overlie Peyer’s patches,
apical+ basolateral
TLR9 -contrasting effects on
NK-κB following ligation
Enteroendocrine
cells also express
TLR1,2,4
TLR1,6,7 not determined
TLR8: Top of colonic crypts in UC, Crohn’s
Nature reviews Immunoll; Toll-like receptor signalling in the intestinal epithelium. Vol 10. 2010
25. C. Spatially restricted TLR expression by polarized IECs
TLR4 - highly expressed on apical side of colonic IECs from patients with active
Crohn’s disease
TLR5 - trigger production of cytokines and chemokines, such as IL-8 and CC-
chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20), in response to basolateral flagellin
luminal flagellin could activate TLR5 only after injury to the epithelial barrier induced
by the chemical dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)
Other TLR-depend on the polarized cell line
basolateral or apical exposure of T84 cells or Caco-2 cells, respectively, to LPS results in
activation of nuclear factor-κB and IL-8 secretion
Nature reviews Immunoll; Toll-like receptor signalling in the intestinal epithelium. Vol 10. 2010
26. Intracellular expression of TLR4 by IECs
TLR4 signaling- occur at the plasma membrane following binding of LPS to MD2–
TLR4 complexes {co-receptor MD2 (known as LY96)}
IFNγ and TNF induce the transcription of TLR4 and MD2
IL-4 and IL-13 decrease the responsiveness of IECs to the TLR4 ligand LPS (TH2-type
cytokines decrease the expression)
Nature reviews Immunoll; Toll-like receptor signalling in the intestinal epithelium. Vol 10. 2010
27. Negative regulators of TLR signalling in IECs
Toll-interacting protein (ToLLIP): intracellular protein inhibits TLR2 and TLR4
signalling through its effect on IL-1R associated kinases (IRAKs)
IBD failed to upregulate Tollip expression
Single immunoglobulin IL-1R-related molecule (SIGIRR; TIR8): negative regulator of
IL-1R, IL-33R, TLR4 and TLR9 signalling
when deleted-susceptible to intestinal inflammation
Nature reviews Immunoll; Toll-like receptor signalling in the intestinal epithelium. Vol 10. 2010

mesenchymal stromal cells (PSCs)
1 Damage lead to
exposure of TLRs on
basolateral surface to
bacterial products
2 TLR - promote proliferation of
epithelial stem cells located at
base of colonic crypts

recombination (CSR) of
IgM and IgA1 to
protease resistant IgA2
IgA2 binds bacteria at apical, prevent

repair gaps in the
epithelial monolayer.
32. NOD like receptors (NLRs)
Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containging protein: NOD1, NOD2
Intracellular innate immune proteins

a cytoplasmic bulk degradation system
which cytoplasmic cargo is targeted and sequestered in double-membrane
vesicles, leading to subsequent fusion with the lysosome
essential for the response to starvation because it facilitates the
recycling of cellular components
can be targeted to intracellular bacteria to restrict their growth
Nature reviews Immuno; NOD proteins. Vol 14 2014

64. Innate lymphoid cells
Lymphoid tissue inducer (Lti) cells required for LN formation and produce IL-17,
IL-22
Mix NK+LTi characteristic cells- express CD 56, CD 127, produce IL22
Natural helper , innate halper type2, nuocyte produce Th2 cytokine IL-5 IL-13
Production of IL-5, ILC recruit eosinophils
IgA –producing B cells produce antimicrobial agents TNF-α, inducible NO
syntase maintain homeostasis of gut microbiota

Produce TH1 cell-associated cytokines IFNγ and TNF in response to IL-12 and/or IL-15
possible role in intestinal inflammation in murine colitis models and human IBD
Group 2: ILC2
produce TH2 cell-associated cytokines IL-5 and IL-13, supported by IL-25, IL-33 and TSLP
early innate response to intestinal helminth infection, lung promote airway hyperresponsiveness or
tissue repair in mouse models
Group 3: ILC3

IL-23
IL-22 protect epithelium following injury or infection by bacterium
IL-17 pro-inflammatory effect, implicated in mouse colitis and human IBD
Nature review; Intestinal epithelial cells. Vol14, 2014
66. Macrophage
GI –largest reservoir of mononuclear phagocytes
Resident macrophages –highly phagocytic, generating inflammatory response
without damage surrounding tissue
Innate signaling molecule such as MyD88 and TRIF adapter proteins decreases
in macrophage explain TLR non-responsiveness despite activation
Despite of anergic phenotype, macrophage participate in host defense (regulate
inflammatory response, scavenge debris, microbial killing)
Middleton 8th edition; gastrointestinal mucosal immunology
67. Dendritic cells
Lamina propria contain a dense network of DC
A subset of DC expressing CD11c and CD103 markers express high levels of
flagellin sensor TLR5, but low TLR4
TLR5 necessary for detection of Salmonella typhimurium
Activation of TLR5 lead to production of IL-23 and ILC expression of IL-17 and IL-
22 (antimicrobial defense cytokine)
Also responsive to TLR3 TLR7 TLR9 stimulation- important for antiviral
immunity
Middleton 8th edition; gastrointestinal mucosal immunology
69. Functional anatomy of adaptive immunity
Initiated in collections of lymphocytes and APC closely associated with the mucosal
epithelial lining of bowel and in mesenteric LN
Gut-associated lymphoid tissues adjacent to mucosal epithelium referred to as GALT
most prominent GALT are Peyer's patches, found mainly in distal ileum or isolated follicles in
appendix and colon
GALT-different from LN
ratio of B:T cells 5 times higher
not encapsulated
independent routes of Ag delivery
Cellular and Molecular Immunology, 8th Edition
70. Lymphoid site of immune response
GALT
Mesenteric LN –serve some of the same function as GALT
correct lymph-borne Ag
100-150 LN between membranous layer of mesentery
Lingual and palatine tonsils-sites of immune response in oral cavity
Cellular and Molecular Immunology, 8th Edition
71. Antigen uptake
major pathway of antigen delivery
from lumen to GALT is through
specialized cells called microfold
(M) cells
- found in small bowel epithelium
overlying Peyer’s patchs and
lamina propria lymphoid follicles
Cellular and Molecular Immunology, 8th Edition
M cells have shorter villi
M cells engage in
transport of microbes or
molecules across barrier
into GALT, where they
are handed off to
dendritic cells
72. Antigen sampling by dendritic cells
Some DC extend dendritic
processes between IEC into
lumen to sample antigens
Other present in lamina
propria, sample antigens that
derived from lumina contents
through the epithelial barrier
Cellular and Molecular Immunology, 8th Edition
73. Epithelial cells
Epithelial cells of the GI tract are also capable of presenting Ag to T cells
During inflammatory states, epithelial cells of the esophagus and small
intestine upregulate MHC II and can activate CD4+ T cell
Middleton 8th edition; gastrointestinal mucosal immunology
74. Antigen presentation
APCs in the GI tract include
professional APCs such as DCs, B cells, macrophages
nonprofessional APCs such as epithelial cells
Different DC phenotypes are specialized to respond to specific inflammatory stimuli
surface markers: CD11b, CD8α, and CCR6
Middleton 8th edition; gastrointestinal mucosal immunology
75. Dendritic cells phenotype
CD11b+ and CD103− subset
chemokine receptor CX3CR1
extends dendrites into small intestinal lumen, highly phagocytic and can efficiently
capture antigen, not migrate in lymph
express F4/80, not constitutively express CCR7
derived from monocytes in a M-CSF receptor dependent manner
Local activation of effector T cells
may be a key part of the nonmigrating CX3CR1+ phagocytes of the small intestine that
express MHC II as well as process and present acquired Ag
Curr Biol. 2013; Mucosal Immunology of Food Allergy
Middleton 8th edition; gastrointestinal mucosal immunology
76. Antigen presentation
CD11c+ and CD103+ subset
low level of antigen capture relative to CX3CR1+ cells
more efficient at Ag presentation and transport to MLN, migrate to the MLN
express CCR7
arise from common DC progenitors and pre-DCs in a GM-CSF receptor-dependent
manner
CD11c− macrophages of the mouth and small intestine
present Ag to T cells
preferentially induce Tregs through an IL-10– and retinoic acid–dependent
mechanism

77. Homing properties of intestinal lymphocytes
Effector lymphocytes that are generated in the GALT and mesenteric lymph
nodes are imprinted with selective integrin- and chemokine receptor–
dependent gut-homing properties
circulate from the blood back into the lamina propria of the gut

79. Humoral immunity
Major function is to neutralize luminal microbes
mediated mainly by IgA produced in the GALT
IgA is produced in larger amounts than any other antibody isotype
because of large number of IgA-producing plasma cells in GALT, (80% of all Ab-
producing plasma cells in the body)
selective induction of IgA isotype switching in B cells in GALT and MLN
selective gut-homing properties of IgA-producing plasma cells

peripheral lymphoid tissues
Factors generate Treg: CD103+ DC, local production of retinoic acid, TGF-β
Cytokines: TGF-β, IL-10, IL-2 play role in maintaining homeostasis
selective deletion of the Il10 gene in FoxP3+ cells leads to severe colitis
