When the castle is under attack! The Immune System Response

Your immune system contains many structures and cells, each playing a particular role in policing your body and destroying invaders

Your Skin- The Fortress or Gate In order to get a pathogen, it must first breach our skin. –Enters through a cut or open surface

Phagocytes or Macrophages The Guards “Eater” cells surround and engulf germs that have recently entered the body.

Antigens - The Germ’s Fingerprint An antigen is a protein or particle on the surface of a bacteria or virus (the germ’s fingerprint)

Antibody - Warrant of Arrest An antibody is a particle made by the body that matches antigens produced by pathogens. Antibodies attach to germs, identifying them as a targets.

Your body produces hundreds of antibodies to target different antigens!

Interferons - Crime Prevention Once a cell has been infected, it releases interferons. Interferons trigger healthy cells to produce enzymes that block virus infections Use past information to prevent future “crimes”

T-cells The Navy SEALs When the guards (macrophages) can’t catch the bad guys, our immune system sends in T-cells to get the job done. Navy SEALs are a specialized group like T-cells.

B cells- The Undercover Cops B cells are covered in antibodies. They float around waiting to attach to an antigen, just like undercover cops gather enough evidence to nail the criminals. From The Departed

Memory Cells- The CIA of the body B cells also produce memory cells that target specific antigens. They store information about the germ. If the germ reappears, antibodies are immediately released.

Textbook Activity Using a textbook and the word bank at the bottom of the page, fill in the graphic organizer and answer the questions.
