1 Immune System

2 Provide 3 cells and/or molecules involved in specific defense.
Define the following: B cells T cells Macrophages Provide 3 cells and/or molecules involved in specific defense. Provide 3 cells and/or molecules involved in non-speccific defense.

4 Innate Immunity What is innate immunity? Present from birth
Non specific External Skin Mucous membranes Internal Macrophages phagocytes

5 Phagocytic cells Phagocytes bind to non-self surface carbohydrates
microbe is engulfed forming a vacuole lysosome fuses with vacuole Evolution of microbes: Extra capsule hides non-self surface carbohydrates Resistant to destruction by lysosomes

6 Pahgocytic Leukocytes
Neutrophils: most abundant Phagocytes that engulf and destroy microbes Self destruct  pus Monocytes: more effective Macrophages Reside mainly in lymph nodes, spleen and lymph tissues Eosinophils: less abunadant limited role Fight multicellular parasites Dendritic cells: Stimulate aquired immunity

7 Antimicrobial Proteins
Complement system Interferons Secreted by virus infected cells Induce other non-infected cells to release viral inhibitors Defensins Secreted by macrophages Damage pathogens

8 Responses Localized inflammatory response Fever
Septic shock – systemic inflamation Natural killer cells Attack cancer and virus-infected cells

9 Lymphatic System

12 Acquired Immunity

13 Antigen Recognition What are the two main types of lymphocytes?
B cells T cells There are antigen receptors on these cells Antigen receptors are specific for an epitope

14 B cell Receptors Y shaped with Recognize intact antigens
2 heavy chains 2 light chains Recognize intact antigens

15 T cell Receptors Recognizes self/non self complexes Class I MHC
Pieces of antigens MHC Class I MHC Class II MHC

16 Lymphocyte development
How do lymphocytes develop? Pleuripotent stem cells in bone marrow T cells migrate to thymus B cells mature in bone marrow

17 Lymphocyte Diversity 40 V chain options 5 J chain options
How many different combinations of V/J arrangements are possible? 40 V x 5 J = 200

18 How do we avoid auto immune issues?
Before B cells and T cells mature, they are checked for class I and class II MHC compatibility. If they are compatible they are destroyed

19 Clonal Selection of Lymphocytes
B cells, TH, and TC cells may be activated by finding their antigen in the body Binding of the antigen stimulated the cell to: Generate short-lived clone of effector cells Generate long-lived memory cells

21 Primary and Secondary Immunity

22 Humoral and Cell mediated Immunity

23 Helper T cells Clone of TH cells

24 Clone of TH cells

25 Cytotoxic T cells

26 Humoral Immune Response

27 Antibodies

28 Role of Antibodies

29 Active and Passive Immunity
What is the difference between active and passive immunity? Active immunity Natural exposure to antigen Immunization Passive immunity Transferred antibodies Seen with pregnant and nursing women Also with anti-venom injections

32 Blood Groups Why would a person with type A blood have anti – B antibodies? There are bacteria with similar antigens The immune response produced by blood group antigens has no memory Blood mixing at birth causes no problems fro future pregnancies Rh factors, however, do have memory so there is a problem here How do Rh negative mothers deal with blood from Rh positive babies?

33 Allergic Response

34 Autoimmune Diseases

35 Found in most body cells
When infected or cancerous presents antigen fragments Identify the self/nonself complex Recognized by Tc cells

36 Known as antigen presenting cells
Class II MHC found on Dendritic cells Macrophages B cells Known as antigen presenting cells
