MHC = major histocompatibility complex Set of genes that code for MHC molecules All are cell surface proteins All are cell surface proteins Class I MHC display foreign peptides synthesized within the cell (cancer/virus) Class I MHC display foreign peptides synthesized within the cell (cancer/virus) found on most body cells found on most body cells Class II MHC display peptides broken off of microbes during phagocytosis Class II MHC display peptides broken off of microbes during phagocytosis found on phagocytic cells & B cells found on phagocytic cells & B cells

C) Antimicrobial Proteins 1) interferon ά and β 1) interferon ά and β secreted by virus-infected cells secreted by virus-infected cells help neighboring cells inhibit viral reproduction help neighboring cells inhibit viral reproduction 2) complement system = 30 serum proteins 2) complement system = 30 serum proteins a. microbe presence activates complement proteins a. microbe presence activates complement proteins b. cascade of chem rxns lead to b. cascade of chem rxns lead to c. microbe lysis c. microbe lysis d. plays a role in inflammation d. plays a role in inflammation (complement syst also activated by acquired response)
11
D) Inflammation Triggered by chem. signals: histamine & cytokine Complement system, allergen, antigen or injury cause mast cells to release histamine Complement system, allergen, antigen or injury cause mast cells to release histamine Histamine dilates capillaries, lets out more clotting elements, anti-microbial proteins Histamine dilates capillaries, lets out more clotting elements, anti-microbial proteins Chemokines released by capillary attract phagocytes (macrophages & neutrophiles) Chemokines released by capillary attract phagocytes (macrophages & neutrophiles) Macrophages secrete cytokines that promote blood flow Macrophages secrete cytokines that promote blood flow Clotting blocks spread of microbes Clotting blocks spread of microbes
12
Signal Molecules Review Histamines –released by mast cells Histamines –released by mast cells - trigger capillaries to dilate - trigger capillaries to dilate Chemokines – released by capillaries Chemokines – released by capillaries - attract phagocytes - attract phagocytes Cytokines -released by macrophage/neutrophils Cytokines -released by macrophage/neutrophils - increase blood flow - increase blood flow -released by helper T -released by helper T - activate acquired immune resp. - activate acquired immune resp. signal B-cells and cytotoxic-T cells signal B-cells and cytotoxic-T cells
14
E) Systemic Response Widespread response Widespread response Increased WBC production Increased WBC production Fever – facilitates phagocytosis Fever – facilitates phagocytosis Septic shock – bacterial infection causes high fever low bp may cause death Septic shock – bacterial infection causes high fever low bp may cause death

Antibodies Proteins secreted by differentiated B-cells Proteins secreted by differentiated B-cells (plasma cells) (plasma cells) Bind to specific antigen Bind to specific antigen Also called Immunoglobulins (Ig) Also called Immunoglobulins (Ig)

Humoral Response = B cells put antibodies in fluid (humor) 1. B cell receptor binds to an antigen on microbe, pollen or transplanted cell 1. B cell receptor binds to an antigen on microbe, pollen or transplanted cell 2. B cell takes in antigen and presents it on MHC II surface protein to attract helper T cells 2.

Autoimmune disease New lymphocytes are tested to be sure their receptors won’t bind to bodies own cells. New lymphocytes are tested to be sure their receptors won’t bind to bodies own cells.
