35. Antimicrobial Chemicals Slide 12.22c Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Interferon  Secreted proteins of virus-infected cells  Bind to healthy cell surfaces to inhibit viruses binding

36. Interferons are a family species-specific proteins synthesized by eukaryotic cells in response to viruses and a variety of natural and synthetic stimuli. There are several different interferons commonly used as therapeutics, termed alpha, beta, and gamma. These peptides are used to treat hairy cell leukemia, AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, laryngeal papillomatosis, genital warts, and chronic granulomatous disease. Side effects include black tarry stools, blood in the urine, confusion, and loss of balance.

37. Fever Slide 12.23 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Abnormally high body temperature  Hypothalmus heat regulation can be reset by pyrogens (secreted by white blood cells)  High temperatures inhibit the release of iron and zinc from liver and spleen needed by bacteria  Fever also increases the speed of tissue repair

38. Specific Defense: The Immune System – Third Line of Defense Slide 12.24 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Antigen specific – recognizes and acts against particular foreign substances  Systemic – not restricted to the initial infection site  Has memory – recognizes and mounts a stronger attack on previously encountered pathogens

39. Types of Immunity Slide 12.25 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Humoral immunity  Antibody-mediated immunity  Cells produce chemicals for defense  Cellular immunity  Cell-mediated immunity  Cells target virus infected cells

40. Antigens (Nonself) Slide 12.26 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Any substance capable of exciting the immune system and provoking an immune response  Examples of common antigens  Foreign proteins  Nucleic acids  Large carbohydrates  Some lipids  Pollen grains  Microorganisms

41. Self-Antigens Slide 12.27 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Human cells have many surface proteins  Our immune cells do not attack our own proteins  Our cells in another person’s body can trigger an immune response because they are foreign  Restricts donors for transplants

42. Allergies Slide 12.28 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Many small molecules (called haptens or incomplete antigens) are not antigenic, but link up with our own proteins  The immune system may recognize and respond to a protein-hapten combination  The immune response is harmful rather than protective because it attacks our own cells

45. Cells of the Immune System Slide 12.29 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Lymphocytes  Originate from hemocytoblasts in the red bone marrow  B lymphocytes become immunocompetent in the bone marrow  T lymphocytes become immunocompetent in the thymus  Macrophages  Arise from monocytes  Become widely distributed in lymphoid organs

47. Humoral (Antibody-Mediated) Immune Response Slide 12.31a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  B lymphocytes with specific receptors bind to a specific antigen  The binding event activates the lymphocyte to undergo clonal selection  A large number of clones are produced (primary humoral response)

48. Humoral (Antibody Mediated) Immune Response Slide 12.31b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Most B cells become plasma cells  Produce antibodies to destroy antigens  Activity lasts for four or five days  Some B cells become long-lived memory cells (secondary humoral response)

51. Passive Immunity Slide 12.35 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Antibodies are obtained from someone else  Conferred naturally from a mother to her fetus  Conferred artificially from immune serum or gamma globulin  Immunological memory does not occur  Protection provided by “borrowed antibodies”

52. Antibodies (Immunoglobulins) (Igs) Slide 12.37 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Soluble proteins secreted by B cells (plasma cells)  Carried in blood plasma  Capable of binding specifically to an antigen

53. Antibody Classes Slide 12.39 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Antibodies of each class have slightly different roles  Five major immunoglobulin classes – (Do Not Need to know!)  IgM – can fix complement  IgA – found mainly in mucus  IgD – important in activation of B cell  IgG – can cross the placental barrier  IgE – involved in allergies

54. Cellular (Cell-Mediated) Immune Response Slide 12.42 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Antigens must be presented by macrophages to an immunocompetent T cell (antigen presentation)  T cells must recognize nonself and self (double recognition)  After antigen binding, clones form as with B cells, but different classes of cells are produced

67. The Structure of HIV Figure 9.19

68. Time Course of the Progression of AIDS after HIV Infection Figure 9.21

69. AIDS progression: –Phase I: few weeks to a few years; flu like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes, chills, fever, fatigue, body aches. Virus is multiplying, antibodies are made but ineffective for complete virus removal –Phase II: within six months to 10 years; opportunistic infections present, Helper T cells affected, 5% may not progress to next phase –Phase III: Helper T cells fall below 200 per cubic millimeter of blood AND the person has an opportunistic infection or type of cancer. Person is now termed as having “AIDS” May include pneumonia, meningitis, tuberculosis, encephalitis, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and non-Hodgkin’s lumphoma….
