Defending against infection

Pathogens are microorganisms - such as bacteria and viruses - that cause disease. Bacteria release toxins, and viruses damage our cells. White blood cells can ingest and destroy pathogens by producing antibodies that destroy the infectious microorganisms, and antitoxins to neutralise toxins created as a by-product.

Bacteria and viruses are the main types of pathogen. Bacteria are microscopic organisms. They come in many shapes and sizes, but even the largest are only 10 micrometres long - that's 10 millionths of a metre. Bacteria are living cells and, in favourable conditions, can multiply rapidly. Once inside the body, they release poisons or toxins that make us feel ill. Diseases caused by bacteria include: food poisoning cholera typhoid whooping cough.

Pathogens: viruses Viruses are many times smaller than bacteria. They are among the smallest organisms known and consist of a fragment of genetic material inside a protective protein coat. A hepatitis C virus showing DNA enclosed in a protein coat.

Viruses can only reproduce inside host cells and they damage the cell when they do this. A virus can get inside a cell and, once there, take over and make hundreds of thousands of copies of itself. Eventually the virus copies fill the whole host cell and burst it open. The viruses are then passed out in the bloodstream, the airways, or by other routes. Diseases caused by viruses include: influenza (flu) colds measles mumps rubella chicken pox AIDs.

White blood cells White blood cells can: ingest pathogens and destroy them produce antibodies to destroy particular pathogens produce antitoxins that counteract the toxins released by pathogens.

the pathogens are not the disease - they cause the disease white blood cells do not eat the pathogens - they ingest them antibodies and antitoxins are not living things - they are specialised proteins.

Immunity Pathogens contain certain chemicals that are foreign to the body. These chemicals are called antigens. Certain white blood cells, called lymphocytes, can produce specific antibodies to kill a particular pathogen.
