Resumen del Recurso
Immunology
Vaccination
Features of a successful vaccination program
Few side-effects
Means of producing, storing and transporting available
Means of administering vaccine available
All vulnerable population vaccinated
Problems with controlling cholera
Intestinal disease- not easily reached by immune system
Antigenic variability
Mobile populations spread cholera
Principles
Weakened/mutated pathogen injected
Stimulates immune response and production of antibodies
Immunological memory - faster response to future infections
Ethics
Use of animals in development of vaccines
Could have side-effects/cause disease
Human trials
Problems with controlling TB
HIV - more people with impaired immune systems
Body kills bacterium before antibodies produced
Ageing populations - older people have weaker immune systems
Antibodies
Proteins synthesised by B cells
Quaternary structure: two heavy chains and two light chains
Held together by disulfide bonds
Variable and constant regions
Antigen-binding sites: antigen-antibody complex is formed
Monoclonal antibodies: produced from a single clone of B cells
Formed by hybridisation with cancer cells
Number of useful functions
Immunoassay (e.g. pregnancy testing kits)
Cancer treatment
Transplant surgery
B cells and cell-mediated immunity
1. B cells take up suface antigens of pathogens and present them on the membrane
2. Activated T helper cells bind to antigens and activate the B cells
3.B cells divide by mitosis and specialise into one of two types of cells:
Plasma cells produce antibodies.
Agglutination (clumping) of pathogens facilitates phagocytosis
Cause lysis of pathogens
Memory cells store an immunological memory of the antigen.
Secondary immune response: greater and faster antibody production
Phagocytosis: the non-specific immune response
1. Macrophage attracted to pathogen by chemoattractants
2. Macrophage binds to pathogen and engulfs it, forming a phagosome
3. Lysosome fuses with phagosome to form a phagolysosome
4. Digestive enzymes break down the pathogen
T cells and cell-mediated immunity
T cells mature in the thymus gland.
T cells carry out cell-mediated immunity:
1. Pathogens invade body/ingested by phagocytes
2. Phagocyte presents antigens on its cell membrane
3. T cells have complementary receptors which bind to the antigens
4. The T cell then divides rapidly by mitosis.
Roles of cloned T cells
Developing into memory cells for faster secondary response
Stimulating phagocytosis
Producing interleukins, which stimulating B cells to divide
Killing infected cells
Perforin makes holes in cell membrane of infected cells - they become freely permeable and die
