Results of Antibody Binding to Antigen Agglutination (coralling of the invader) Precipitation (removal of soluble antigens from blood and lymph) Neutralization (blocking antigen's activity and binding) Opsonization (faciliating macrophage phagocytosis) Tagging, complement fixation, and transmembrane channel formation (lysis of pathogen) Agglutination Precipitation (soluble antigens) Transmembrane channel formation and lysis Antibody Function movie

Active vs Passive Immunity  Active Immunity Your B cells encounter antigens and produce antibodies Active immunity can be naturally or artificially acquired (e.g via vaccination)  Passive Immunity Antibodies are obtained from someone else oConferred naturally from a mother to her fetus oConferred artificially from immune serum or gamma globulin - e.g. snake antitoxin Immunological memory does not occur Protection provided by “borrowed antibodies”

Monoclonal Antibodies  Antibodies prepared for clinical testing or diagnostic services  Produced from descendents of a single cell line  Examples of uses for monoclonal antibodies Diagnosis of pregnancy Treatment after exposure to hepatitis and rabies HIV/AIDS detection in ELISA Assays

Cellular (Cell-Mediated) Immune Response 1. Antigens must be presented by macrophages, dendritic cells, or B cells to an T cell (called “antigen presentation”) 2. T cells must recognize non-self antigen and self MHC proteins (double recognition) 3. After antigen binding, clones form as with B cells, but different classes of cells are produced

Activation of T and B Cells Through T H cells MHC "self" identifying protein

Types of T Cells  Cytotoxic T (T c ) cells Specialize in killing infected cells Insert a toxic chemical (perforin)  Helper T (T H ) cells Recruit other cells to fight the invaders Interact directly with B cells  A few members of each clone are memory cells Helper t cells animation Cytotoxic t cells animation

Summary of B Cell Activation  B cells can be activated directly by antigen or from a TH cell activated by an antigen-presenting macrophage

Organ Transplants and Rejection  Major types of grafts Autografts – tissue transplanted from one site to another on the same person Hey buddy, my patch of skin is damaged! Can I have your autograft? Isografts – tissue grafts from an identical person (identical twin) Allografts – tissue taken from an unrelated person (sometimes successful) Xenografts – tissue taken from a different animal species (rarely successful)

Allergies (Hypersensitivity)  Abnormal, vigorous immune responses  Types of allergies Immediate hypersensitivity oB cells exposed to foreign antigen and IgE antibodies are made oReaction triggered by release of histamine from IgE binding to mast cells oReactions begin within seconds of contact with allergen oAnaphylactic shock – dangerous, systemic response Delayed hypersensitivity oTriggered by the release of lymphokines from activated helper T cells oSymptoms usually appear 1–3 days after contact with antigen oE.g. reaction to poison ivy, contact dermatitis

Disorders of Immunity: Immunodeficiencies  Autoimmune Diseases (antibodies attack own tissues) Multiple sclerosis – Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes forming myelin sheaths are destroyed, slowing communication, esp. muscles Myasthenia gravis – antibodies blocking acetylcholine receptors on post-synaptic side of neuromuscular junction; muscle weakness Juvenile diabetes – destroys pancreatic beta cells that produce insulin Rheumatoid arthritis – destroys joints by attacking tissues and causing inflammation Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) – affects kidney, heart, lung and skin Glomerulonephritis – impairment of renal function Grave’s disease - antibodies bind to TSH receptors on thyroid follicular cells, stimulating overproduction of thyroxine  Inefficient lymphocyte programming (e.g. T cells that escaped "education")  Appearance of self-proteins in the circulation that have not been exposed to the immune system (eggs, sperm, eye lens)  Cross-reaction of antibodies produced against foreign antigens with self-antigens Rheumatic fever - Anti-streptococcal antibodies also attack myocardium and joints; --> arthritis, congestive heart failure  Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
