1
The Immune System
2
First lines of defense: Skin Mucus Stomach acid Digestive enzymes
3
Innate Immunity Phagocytic cells –Leukocytes (“white cells”) –Lymphocytes (“lymph cells”) –Macrophages (“big eaters”) –Natural killer cells (attack infected or cancerous body cells)
4
Innate Immunity
12
Inflammation –Redness and swelling Interferon –Released by infected cells, signals neighboring cells to prepare for invasion
13
Acquired Immunity Lymphocytes –B cells and T cells Antibodies –Immunoglobulins
14
Antigens are foreign molecules that elicit an immune response Acquired Immunity
15
Antigens are foreign molecules that elicit an immune response. Acquired Immunity
16
B cells have antigen receptors that recognize intact antigens. B Acquired Immunity
17
T cells have antigen receptors for fragments of antigens. B T Acquired Immunity
18
Each lymphocyte recognizes one and only one antigen. B T Acquired Immunity
19
Lymphocytes are made in the bone marrow B cells mature in the bone marrow T cells go to the thymus before maturing. Acquired Immunity
20
Genes in lymphocytes are randomly, permanently rearranged to produce over ten million different antigen receptors The ones that react to “self” are destroyed. Acquired Immunity
21
Two kinds of immune response: Humoral Defends against toxins or pathogens outside of cells Cell-mediated or cytotoxic Destroys infected cells, cancer cells, and transplanted cells Acquired Immunity
22
Humoral Immune Response Here come the germs…
23
Humoral Immune Response Here come the germs…
24
Humoral Immune Response 1. A macrophage or a dendritic cell engulfs one of the invading bacteria
25
Humoral Immune Response 1. A macrophage or a dendritic cell engulfs one of the invading bacteria.
26
Humoral Immune Response 2. The macrophage displays broken up bits of the antigen bound to a major histocompatibility complex (MHC).
27
Humoral Immune Response 3. A helper T cell recognizes the antigen fragments and is activated
28

31
Humoral Immune Response 4. A B cell also recognizes the antigen and binds to it
32

33
Humoral Immune Response 4. A B cell also recognizes the antigen and binds to it.
34
Humoral Immune Response 5. An activated helper T cell binds to the B cell and secretes cytokines to activate it

38
Humoral Immune Response 5. An activated helper T cell binds to the B cell and secretes cytokines to activate it
39
Humoral Immune Response 6. The activated B cell divides to make two kinds of cells:
40
Humoral Immune Response -Plasma cells make antibodies
41
Humoral Immune Response Plasma cells (effector cells) make antibodies
42
Humoral Immune Response Memory cells wait for the next invasion.
43
Humoral Immune Response 7. Antibodies bind to antigens.
44
Humoral Immune Response There are four ways that antibodies work:

Cell Mediated Immune Response
74
Here come the germs…
75
Cell Mediated Immune Response A cell is infected
76
Cell Mediated Immune Response A cell is infected
77
Cell Mediated Immune Response 1. A cell is infected.
78
Cell Mediated Immune Response 2. Antigens are displayed on the cell surface bound to MHC.
79
Cell Mediated Immune Response 3. A cytotoxic T cell (“killer T cell”) binds to the antigens
80
Cell Mediated Immune Response 3. A cytotoxic T cell (“killer T cell”) binds to the antigens
81
Cell Mediated Immune Response 3. A cytotoxic T cell (“killer T cell”) binds to the antigens.
82
Cell Mediated Immune Response 4. Binding activates the T cell, which releases lytic enzymes.
83
Cell Mediated Immune Response 5. Lytic enzymes destroy the cell (“apoptosis”)
84
Cell Mediated Immune Response 5. Lytic enzymes destroy the cell (“apoptosis”)
85
Cell Mediated Immune Response 6. T cell can now attack other target cells.
86
Cell Mediated Immune Response Cancer cells will also display antigens that bind with killer T cells.
87
