Resource summary
Immunology
first line of defense : External physical barrier
secod line : internal barriers
third line : specific immune responses
humoral immunity
protection through antibodies
antigen binding sites -> epitopes -> function -> give protection
blocks attachment of toxins
blocks adhesion of bacteria
blocks adhesion of viruses
neutralisation of toxin
agglutination
opsonisation
activation of complement
antibody-dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity
cell mediated immunity
overcome by :
CD8 cytotoxic T cell
granule exocytosis
recognition and binding of target cells -> delivery of lethal hit -> death of target cells -> recycling of cytotoxic T cells
-granule contain - perforin & serine proteases
fas pathway
Binding of TcR and antigen
granule exocytosis
triggers expression fas-ligand on Tc cell
Fas on target cell cross-linked with fas-L
APOPTOSIS
Delayed-type hypersensitivity response
recruit monocytes
keep macrophages at site of infection
activate the monocytes and macrophage
1.Activation of CD4 T cells
2. Migration of effector Th cells
3. Recruitment and retention of monocytes
Activation of macrophage
5. Elimination of pathogens in DTH reactions
acquired immunity
involves lymphocytes
lymphocyte B
B cell
T cell
CD4 surface protein
TH1 cells
TH2 cells
CD8 surface protein
Tc cells
Organs of immune system
primary lymphoid organs
production sites
maturation sites (absence of antigen)
secondary lymphoid organs
maturation sites - antigen-driven immune cells
non-specific immune responses
internal innate immunity
2nd line defense
mechanisms protection
physiological barrier
phagocytosis
inflammation
external innate immunity
1st line defense
prevent penetration of pathogens into tissue
Antigen
trigger specific immune response & react with product of responses
Antigenic determinants sites
carrier - antigen itself
Antibody
combine with antigenic determinants
important components for specific immune responses
Basic structure : Y
2 Light chain (L) & 2 heavy chain (H)
classes
IgA
IgG
IgM
IgD
IgE
mechanism of antibody production
APC ingest antigen -> present to TH1 cells -> IL2 released -> stimulate proliferation and differentiation of TH cell into TH2 cells
secrete cytokines -> stimulte B cells -> antigen specific B-cell clone produced
differentiation
plasma cells (short-lived 1 week)
antibody secreted
memory cells (long-lifetime)
