Immunity AKA Defence Against the Dark Arts

Specification Points:
Keywords??? Specification Points: 2.60 describe how the immune system responds to disease using white blood cells, illustrated by phagocytes ingesting pathogens and lymphocytes releasing antibodies specific to the pathogen 2.61 understand that vaccination results in the manufacture of memory cells, which enable future antibody production to the pathogen to occur sooner, faster and in greater quantity 2.62 understand that platelets are involved in blood clotting, which prevents blood loss and the entry of micro-organisms

TASK BRING A DEVICE THAT YOU CAN DO PROPER RESEARCH ON (ideally not just a phone) TO NEXT LESSON

Can you put it in a sentence?
Immunity What is it? T/P/S Can you put it in a sentence? Wiki: The ability of an organism to resist a particular infection or toxin by the action of specific antibodies or sensitized white blood cells. "immunity to typhoid seems to have increased spontaneously" Wiki: The ability of an organism to resist a particular infection or toxin by the action of specific antibodies or sensitized white blood cells. "immunity to typhoid seems to have increased spontaneously"

Pathogens What are they? Pathogen (disease) Causing organism)
Virus Bacteria Fungi Protozoa Flatworm Roundworm Chicken pox Tuberculosis ringworm malaria bilharzia elephantitis The name of the disease causing organism (pathogen) is often different to that of the disease itself
9
The Body’s Defence Specific vs. Non-Specific Cure Prevention
The Body’s Defence antibodies actively made by the body physical and chemical barriers, e.g blood clotting Specific vs. Non-Specific Cure Prevention Prevents pathogens that have entered the body causing harm Prevents pathogens entering the body Immune system/leucoytes (phagocytotic & lymphocytes) Skin, mucus membranes, various other ‘fluids’ & structures
11
Non-specific Defence: Barriers to entry
First line of defence: skin Externally covered by keratinised protein of the dead cells - Tough and impervious Folds in skin with moisture can lead to breaking barrier e.g. athlete’s foot Diagram not required
13
Clotting Broken cells are detected Enzyme: Fibrinogen Fibrin
Clotting Broken cells are detected Enzyme: Fibrinogen Fibrin Network of fibers trap blood cells, ‘clot’
14
Different defence mechanisms
15
What kind of cell is responsible for our ‘immune system?
White blood cell Lymphocytes Phagocytes Make antibodies! Pacmen!
16
Attacking microbes 1. Producing antitoxins white blood cell bacterium
Toxins made by pathogens make you feel ill. Antitoxin links to toxin and neutralizes its effect. The toxin is now harmless. This happens on a large scale and reduces the effects of the infection.
17
Antibody Production 2. Release antibodies
18
Attacking Microbes 2. Release antibodies
Antibodies - you can think of them as target specific bombs. Their shape is important because it fits exactly onto a site on the microbe. As well as releasing antitoxins, the white blood cell can release proteins called antibodies.
19
Attacking microbes The antibody attaches to the specific site on the microbe, which leads to its destruction. attachment site antibody microbe microbe is destroyed
20
Identify the antigen and antibody
SL Identify the antigen and antibody
21
Matching microbes and antibodies
22
Ingest it Phagocytes Phagocytes are a type of leucocyte (white blood cell). They recognise the pathogen after it has been coated by an antibody and destroy it
23
Phagocytes - Phagocytosis
v May release histamine cellular extensions (pseudopodia) internal vesicle (lysosome) Pathogens antigenic fragments may be presented on surface of macrophage This mechanism of endocytosis is called phagocytosis ('cell-eating')
25
Immunity PacMan! can eat things tagged with antibodies
Two PACMEN (phagocyte) can eat things tagged with antibodies Three + opposing ghosts (bacteria) You must be tagged – only then you can be destroyed Three + fruits (lymphocytes) Can tag the bacteria, making them recognisable to pacmen
26
Immunity PacMan! PACMEN Represent? Role? What had to happen so they could do their job? GHOSTS/BAD GUYS What do the ghosts represent? 3. & 7. What is on them that allows them to be recognised/ destroyed? FRUIT 8. Represent? 9. Role? 10. What can they make/do to the ghosts to allow them to be destroyed? KEYWORDS: Pathogen Phagocyte Lymphocyte Antibody Antigen Toxin Antitoxin Phagocytosis
27
Immunity PacMan! Phagocytes (white blood cells) Ingest (not eat) pathogens Pathogens had to be tagged with antibodies Pathogens Damage the body They are covered in antigens Antigens had to be tagged with antibodies Lymphocytes (white blood cells) Make antibodies and antitoxins in response to antigens on pathogens Tag the pathogen with an antibody so it can be recognised by the phagocyte KEYWORDS: Pathogen Phagocyte Lymphocyte Antibody Antigen Toxin Antitoxin Phagocytosis

Defence against disease quiz
34
Your are epidemiologists
35
Submit your report next:
Your Task In mixed groups of three, you are to research a disease and create a report on its causes, signs, symptoms, effects and treatments. Use your knowledge of the immune system and research you do in groups today. You will each create your own report. Submit your report next: 10SBi2: Wednesday 10SBi3: Friday
36
An epidemiological report should include see recommended info sources at www.msjoconnor.weebly.com
Grade What to do Comment D General background of disease (e.g. history, significance, discovery) C General information: Name, disease causing pathogen and signs & symptoms B How pathogen is transmitted from person to person How pathogen effects the immune system A Diagnosis, treatment and how treatment helps combat disease or alleviate the symptoms A* If there is a vaccine, find out how it works, if not, explain why one does not exist or why it is still being developed N.B whoever is researching how the pathogen works and the vaccine should watch the video on my website and do some textbook research

Vaccination Live pathogen Dead pathogen Weak pathogen
Vaccination Live pathogen Dead pathogen Weak pathogen Pathogen’s proteins Lymphocytes respond to antigens Dead/Weaker pathogen does not produce toxins
41
Vaccination & Viruses Viruses are so tiny we can barely see them under a microscope They are non free-living Live inside cells Insert genetic info host cell to make it make more virus particles They mutate rapidly Use the information above to explain to the person next to you why it is hard to produce a vaccine for a virus

Immunity Using what you know about vaccines: Describe the diagram
Second response to a pathogen First response to a pathogen Using what you know about vaccines: Describe the diagram Explain what's going on in the diagram

Immunity Questions What is an antigen? [2] What is an antibody? [2]
Describe how antibodies produced? [4] What is a memory cell? [2] With the aid of a diagram, explain the relationship between antibodies and antigens [3] How do antibodies kill antigens? [2] EXT – Use a series of diagrams to explain how the immune system identifies, responds to and kills a pathogen Keywords: Antibody, antigen, antitoxin, toxin, lymphocyte, white blood cell, phagocyte, complementary/specific,
44
Immunity Answers Protein on the outside of a foreign cell that can be recognised as ‘foreign’ and evokes an immune response A protein produced by leucocytes (B lymphocytes, plasma cells) in response to an antigen When a lymphocyte comes into contact with a pathogen its antibodies bind with its antigens (if they are complementary). The lymphocyte then divides by mitosis to make many cells that will produce the antibody. These cells are short lived but some cells will become memory cells which can survive for years Memory cells are a type of lymphocyte that is produced during the first immune response to a pathogen. They live for years and are responsible for the ‘immunity’ we develop after we have had a disease. Labelled diagram (antigen, antibody, pathogen, white blood cell (lymphocyte)) Antibody bind to antigens on the surface of pathogen. Antibodies kill pathogen directly or coat it so it can be recognised and destroyed by phagocytes
