01 Immune System What is immune system How does the immune system work
Immune System The immune system is made up of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from harmful things like germs, viruses, and diseases like cancer. To function properly, an immune system must detect a wide variety of agents, known as pathogens, from viruses to parasitic worms, and distinguish them from the organism's own healthy tissue. After first finding a foreign substance, the immune system takes action to destroying foreign substance and abnormal cells, including cancer cells.
Immune System Humoral Immunity Cytoimmunity Cell-mediated, in which T cells identify and destroy abnormal cells, including those that are cancerous. Humoral, also called antibody-mediated, in which B cells make antibodies that identify and destroy foreign substances.
Immune System e.g. The use of immunosuppressive medication Immunodeficiency immune system is less active than normal, resulting in recurring and life- threatening infections. Disorders Both an overactive and an underactive immune system can be harmful. Autoimmune Diseases Inflammatory Diseases Cancer Autoimmunity Hyperactive immune system attacking normal tissues.
02 Cancer and Immune Response Normal Adapt & Mutate
Cancer and Immune Response Normally, our immune system is, like it’s supposed to, able to destroy cancer cells in our body, however, sometimes cancer cells can adapt and mutate, effectively hiding from our immune system, allowing cancerous cells to grow and spread. This is why tumors can develop and become a threat to our health.

Immune Checkpoint Proteins What are Immune Check Points Immune checkpoints are regulators of immune activation. They play a key role in maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing autoimmunity. B7 PD-L1 B7 CD28 CTLA-4 PD-1
CTLA-4 Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) (CD152) and CD28 are homologous receptors expressed by both CD4 + and CD8 + T cells, which mediate opposing functions in T cell activation. Both receptors share a pair of ligands expressed on the surface of antigen presenting cells (APCs).
CTLA-4 CD28 B7-1/2 T Cell Activation B7-1/2 CLAT-4 CD28 >>> Higher Affinity T Cell Activation
CTLA-4 B7-1/2 CLAT-4 CD28 >>> Higher Affinity 20 Times Trans-endocytosis

PD-1/PD-L1 PD-1 predominantly regulates effector T cell activity within tissues and tumors 0102 CTLA-4 regulates T cell activation in lymphoid organs PD-1 is primarily expressed on mature T cells in peripheral tissues and the tumor microenvironment 03 CTLA-4 mainly affects naïve T cells 04
