chapter 17: specific/adaptable defenses of the host:the immune response
body defenses innate/non-specific specific/adaptable “immunity” lymphoid cells epithelium, inflammation, fever, complement, interferon, macro & DCs humoral cell-mediated non-self Ab & B cells altered self APCs & T cells
lymphoid cells: B cells & T cells • naïve lymphocytes • highly specific (Ag) • >106 at a time • billions made/day • live weeks to months
lymphoid cell activation: B cells & T cells bloodstream
adaptable cells bind Antigen (Ag), not PAMP Ag: bound by WBC receptors • BCell Receptor (BCR) • TCell Receptors (TCR) • Immunoglobulin (Ig) /Antibody (Ab)
getting info to lymphocytes naïve B cells and T cells live in lymph nodes, Ag comes to them
humoral immunityT cell independent response: weak, short, affinity • activation takes several h • plasma cells w/in 1 wk • memory cells w/in 2 wks
antibodies (Ab) acute phase memory
Ab-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) • Ab-bound target cell lysed by natural killer (NK) cells & eosinophils • helper T cells enhance action of NK & eosinophils NK cells activated by antibodies • NK Fc receptor recognizes the Fc portion of Ab bound to target cell • NK cell releases cytokines and cytotoxic granules • these enter the target cell and trigger apoptosis large parasites are too big for phagocytosis & integument is resistant • IgE coats parasites • Fc receptor of eosinophil recognizes IgE • helminth-bound IgE causes the eosinophil to degranulate (release cytotoxins from granules)
cell-mediated immunity:Major HistoCompatibility molecules & T cell receptors
CD8 TC cells & MHC Class I molecules ALL body cells
MHC class I molecules & Cytotoxic T (Tc) cells perforin production granzyme production
CD4 THcells & MHC Class II molecules APCs only
chapter 17 learning objectives • What kinds of pathogens do the humoral and cell-mediated branches of the immune system target? How do the terms self, non-self and altered-self relate to this discussion? • What are the differences between T cells and B cells, in terms of place of maturation and receptors? • What is the lymph system? What is the difference between lymph, interstitial fluid and blood? • Where are MHC class I, MHC class II, BCRs and TCRs found? • In class, we discussed three ways that B cells can be activated and clonally selected. Understand how each of these results in the production of both plasma cells and memory cells. • Both macrophages and dendritic cells are members of the innate defenses that routinely phagocytize pathogens. How are they different? • Draw and label the structure of an antibody molecule. Include the following components: light chain, heavy chain, variable region, constant region, disulfide bonds, antigen binding site, and antigen. Compare and contrast IgG and IgM. • What five things result from the binding of Ab to Ag? How do the two types of Ab-dependent Cell-mediated cytotoxicity discussed in class differ? • What kind of cells produce MHC class I molecules? Which produce MHC class II? Which T cells interact with these and what does the interaction between T cell and MHC molecule cause? • Compare and contrast the Helper T cell and the Cytotoxic T cell (cytotoxic T lymphocyte) • How is memory produced in the cell mediated branch of the immune system? • Distinguish between the antibody-mediated (humoral) immune system and T cell-mediated immune system. Know the steps and key players in both. • Which is the best lymphocyte response for: extracellular bacteria, intracellular vesicular bacteria, viruses and helminths? • Compare and contrast innate and adaptable defenses for: response time, specificity, memory, & location of defense
