Immune system Chapter 43
2
Pathogen: Infectious agent Innate immunity: Nonspecific Acquired immunity: Specific Previous exposure
3
Acquired Immunity Active Disease Vaccine Transfer of lymphocytes from a donor (bone marrow transplant) Passive Maternal antibodies Immunoglobulins (gamma globulins)
4
Defense First line –Skin Second line –Cell counterattack Third line –Immune response (antibodies) –Specific
5
First-line Skin 1. Impenetrable barrier 2. Oil & sweat glands Skin pH--3-5 3. Sweat contains lysozyme Enzyme digests bacterial walls 4. Prevents water loss
6
Skin
7
First line Lysozyme in saliva Stomach acid Digestive enzymes in gut Airway mucous Cilia in airways Acidic urine
8
First line
9
Trachea
10
Second line Invaders Lymphatic system Defense cells Adenoids, tonsils Thymus, spleen Lymph nodes, lymph capillaries & ducts
11
Lymphatic system
12
Second line WBC Antimicrobial proteins Inflammatory response
13
Second line Leukocytes (WBC) Circulating in body 1. Macrophages (monocytes) Kill invaders by ingesting them Phagocytosis Ingestion
14
Fig. 43-3 Microbes PHAGOCYTIC CELL Vacuole Lysosome containing enzymes
15
Second line 2. Neutrophils Most abundant WBC Phagocytosis Release chemicals--kill bacteria Also kills other neutrophils
17
Second line 3. Eosinophils WBC Low phagocytic activity Parasite defense
18
Second line Antimicrobial proteins 1. Complement system Proteins found in plasma Attack bacterial or fungal cell walls Cause cells lysis Signals other defense responses
19
Second line 2.Interferons Paracrine polypeptide Protect cells in area of virus Prevent viral replication Cancer defense
20
Second line 3. Natural killer cells Kills cells infected by a virus Help fight cancer cells
21
Second line Inflammatory response Local, non-specific Histamines & prostaglandins Vasodilation Increased blood flow to area Edema or swelling WBC (phagocytic), pus formation Shock, systemic
22
Second line
23
Inflammatory response Elevated temperature (fever) Interleukin-1 Released by Macrophages Directs hypothalamus to increase temp Helps stimulate defense response
25
Third line Specific response Lymphocytes T-cells---cellular response B-cell---humoral response Antibodies
26
Third line Antigen Foreign molecule Epitope Antigen determinant Located on surface Causes a specific immune response
27
Third line Self-versus-nonself recognition Genes code for specific proteins Major Histocompatibility Complex proteins MHC proteins Cell recognition Glycoproteins on surface of cells
28
Third line B-cell lymphocytes Made & develops in bone marrow Becomes a plasma cell Produce antibodies in response to specific antigens Immunoglobulins (Ig) Antibodies Humoral immunity

Third line B-lymphocyte structure Antigen receptor Specific Plasma membrane
31
Third line Light chains 2 short polypeptides Heavy chains 2 identical long polypeptides 4 chains held together by disulfide bond Forms Y-shaped molecules

34
Antibodies Plasma cells release antigen receptor Specific for antigens Arms of the Y shaped molecule Have different aa sequences
35
Antibodies IgM first response Aggregation of complement proteins IgG major form, second response Stimulates phagocytosis by macrophages IgD receptors for antigens on B cells IgA Present in breast milk, mucous, saliva Provide protection to newborns
36
Antibodies IgE Release histamines Bind to mast cells Insert heavy chain into mast cells Initiate inflammatory response Presence of antigens Vasodilation

39
Third line T-cell lymphocytes Made in bone marrow Processed in thymus gland Regulate immune responses Attack cells with specific antigens Cell-mediated immunity
40
Fig. 43-9b Antigen- binding site Variable regions Constant regions Transmembrane region Plasma membrane T cell chain chain Disulfide bridge Cytoplasm of T cell (b) T cell receptor C C V V
41
Third line T-cells 1. Helper T cells (CD4) Initiate response based on antigens 2. Memory T cells Remember previous antigens
42
Third line 3. Cytotoxic T cell (CD8) Lyse cells infected by virus 4. Suppressor T cells Turn off immune response
43
Third line response Antigen Macrophage process antigen Secrete cytokines (interleukins or interferons) Stimulates T helper cells
44
Third line response Recognize antigens Antigen receptor on T-cells Bind to antigens Triggers T-cytotoxic cells, T-memory cells Cytotoxic cells destroy infected cells Stimulates B cells
45
Third line response Antigen receptor on B-cell Binds foreign antigen Triggers formation of a clone of plasma cells Clones produce antibodies Antibodies bind invading antigen Prevent affects of antigen Destruction or blocks effect
47
Immune response Macrophage ⇓ Helper T-cell ⇙ ⇘ B-cell Cytotoxic T-cell ⇙ ⇘ ⇙ ⇘ Plasma Memory Memory Cytotoxic cells cells cells T-cells ⇓ Antibodies
48
T-cells Cytotoxic T-cells Attack transplants (skin grafts) Considered foreign tissue Destroy cancer cells Interferon (lymphomas, renal Ca, melanoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma and Breast Ca) Interleukin (tx cancer)
49
B-cells Primary immune response First exposure Lasts about 2 weeks Memory cells are also produced during the first exposure Secondary immune response Activates memory cells Response faster & lasts longer
50
Immune System Summary First line Skin, cilia, enzymes, pH of skin Second line WBC (macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells, eosinophils) Antimicrobial proteins Inflammatory response
51
Immune System Summary Third line Lymphocytes (B & T) Antibodies (immunoglobulins) IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, IgD
52
Monoclonal antibodies Antibodies specific for one antigen Cell cultures produce large quantities Use in lab tests Pregnancy tests Antibody to HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)
54
HIV Human immunodeficiency virus Attacks + destroys CD4+ T-cells T-cells secrete a suppressing factor Blocks other T-cells Infects macrophages & brain cells
55
