1. AP Biology Immune Systems Part 3

2. Important concepts from previous units: Direct contact is a type of cell to cell communication. Local (paracrine) and long distance communication between cells is accomplished by chemical means.

3. I. Self tolerance situations: THE BODY RECOGNIZES ITS OWN CELLS. A. Recognition of normal body cells and WBCs. B. ABO blood groups and WBCs. C. Rh Factor on RBCs. (Pregnancy? – second pregnancy can be deadly if mother is Rh - and baby is Rh +.) 1. Antibodies could have been made because of an Rh+ first birth. (Blood mixes during birth, antibodies made.)

5. Blood Receivers A can only take A and O B can only take B and O AB can take A, B, O and AB O can only take O Rh + can take Rh+ and Rh – Rh – can only take Rh- Blood Donors O can give to O, A, B, and AB A can give to A and AB B can give to B and AB AB can only give to AB Rh – can give to Rh- and Rh+ Rh + can only give to Rh+ Universal donor has no antigens: O- (can give to all types)

8. Rh factor and Pregnancy

9. D. Tissue grafting and organ transplants. (Must have matching MHC’s to work; Suppression of immune system is needed.)

10. II. Abnormal Immune System Function: A. Allergy (This is a false alarm.) (Mast cells are the problem by over producing histamine; take an antihistamine.) B. Autoimmune Disorders (Caused by faulty DNA genes.) immune system attacks healthy cells by mistake

11. LUPUS 1. Lupus (the wolf) – Characterized by a butterfly rash on the nose and kidney dysfunction. (Mostly women affected.)

12. Rheumatoid Arthritis 2. Rheumatoid Arthritis – WBCs attack and break down the connective tissues. (Mostly cartilage affected.)

13. 3. Insulin – dependent Diabetes (Type 1 – Juvenile Diabetes) – WBCs attack the pancreas cells that make Insulin. 4. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) – WBCs attack the Schwann cells and myelin sheathes of neurons; leads to muscle burn.

14. Neuron

15. C. Immunodeficiency Diseases (Having NO immune System.) 1. SCID - Infants born with no immune system. (A.K.A. Bubble people.) (severe combined immunodeficiency)

16. 2. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma - This is a cancer of the lymphocyte white blood cells.(Lymph nodes destroyed.) 3. Stress – This weakens the immune system. 4. HIV/AIDS - This is caused by a retrovirus. a. Host cell is the T-helper lymphocyte. (It keys in on the CD 4 membrane marker protein.)

17. II. Plant defenses against plant pathogen invasion: (virulent – means “deadly”)(avirulent – means “just harmful”.) Gene- for- gene recognition (Result of coevolution) (Resistance genes (R-genes– like bacteria have.) 1. If receptor protein matches the infecting ligand; no infection occurs. THE PLANT IS RESISTANT.

19. Gene-to-gene recognition R No Avr allele; virulent pathogen R allele; plant cell becomes diseased If there is no gene-for-gene recognition because of one of the above three conditions, the pathogen will be virulent, causing disease to develop. Avr allele; virulent pathogen No R allele; plant cell becomes diseased Avr allele No R allele; plant cell becomes diseased No Avr allele; virulent pathogen

20. B. Elicitors (These plant cell wall pieces traveling down the phloem indicating damage.) 1. Oligosaccharides released to cells causing them to produce phytoalexins and PR proteins(antibiotics). C. Hypersensitive response – Massive release of phytoalexins and PR proteins to injured infected cells. 1. Causes a “sealing off” effect in leaves. (This tries to keep pathogen from advancing further.) 2. This creates a “Dead Zone” that the pathogen may not be able to move past.

21. D. Systemic (whole plant) Acquired Resistance (SAR) - Accomplished by releasing salicylic acid production. (We call Salicylic acid …Aspirin.)

22. Hypersensitive Immune Response
