  1. Immune Cells , Receptors, and Markers.Lymphoid Tissues and Organs.

  2. White blood cells or leukocytes serve as defenders against infection. • They move around the body via the lymphatic and blood circulatory systems, and can leave and reenter the circulation.

  3. N • Leukocytes are classified according to their morphology, origin, and function into the following groups: • Cells of Myeloid lineage • Granular leukocytes. • Agranular leukocytes. • Cells of Lymphoid lineage • Granular leukocytes. • Agranularleukocytes.

  4. Cells of Myeloid lineage: • - Granularleukocytes: Neutrophils, Eosinophils & Basophils. • - Agranular leukocytes: Monocytes , and macrophages. • Cells of Lymphoid lineage: • - Granular leukocytes: NK cell. • - Agranular leukocytes: T cell, B cell.

  5. N • Cells of Myeloid lineage: • Granular leukocytes: • Neutrophils or polymorphonuclear cells: • ~60% of the peripheral blood leukocytes. • Very effective at killing bacteria. • Elevated number: mainly in acutebacterial infection.

  6. Eosinophils: • Eosin-loving granules. • form 0-5% of WBCs. • Activated in parasitic helminthesinfectionand in allergic conditions.

  7. N • Basophils: • Acidic cytoplasmic granules contain histamine. • Form 0-1% of WBCs. • Activated in allergicconditions.

  8. N • Agranular leukocytes: • Monocytes , and macrophages: • -Monocytes in the circulation, and macrophage in the tissues. • 5-7% of peripheral blood leukocytes. • Scavenger cells for innate immunity. • Antigen presenting cells (APC).

  9. Cells of Lymphoid Lineage: • Lymphocytes: • Account for ≈ 40% of WBCs. • According to type of receptor, and organs of differentiation (where they undergo basic training), Lymphocytes are classified into: • Thymus-derived cells (T Cells) • Bone marrow-derived cells (B Cells) • Natural killer cells (NK-Cells)

  10. Thymus-derived cells: T lymphocytes: • Arise from Bone marrow • Enter the circulation from Thymus. • Identified by presence of CD3complex with T cell receptor (TCR).

  11. T cell receptor complex (TCR + CD3)

  12. Two subsets of T lymphocytes: • CD8 ⁺ T cells (cytotoxic): Restricted to the recognition of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I complexes • CD4⁺ T cells (helper): Restricted to the recognition of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II.

  13. Major histocompatibility (MHC) molecules: • MHC class I molecule: found on all nucleated cells. Present antigens to CD8 T cells • MHC class II molecule: Present antigens to CD4 T cells • T cells which encounter antigen differentiate into effector T cells.

  14. N • Bone Marrow derived cells: B cells: • develop within bone marrowand produce Igs. • IgM and IgD both are present on cells surface. • Isotype switching according to the type of infection. • Markers : CD19, and CD20.

  15. N • Plasma cells: • - Terminally differentiated B cells. • - Immunoglobulin producing cells.

  16. Natural killer cells (NK-Cells): • Forms 5-10% peripheral blood lymphocytes. • Lack both T and B cell receptors. • Very active in killing virallyinfected cells and tumor cells. • Have 2 receptors: • Killing activation receptor (KAR) • Killing inhibition receptor (KIR)

  17. Normal cell Malignant or virally infected cell

  18. Immune Cells Receptors: • Immune system depends upon receptors to distinguish own cells& organs (Self) from those of foreign origin (non self). • The immune cell receptors are classified into two types: • Preformed receptors. • Somatically generated receptors (epitope specific).

  19. Preformed receptors. • Pattern recognition receptors (PRR). • Toll-like receptors. • The complement receptors. • The immunoglobulins Fc receptors. • The Natural Killer cell receptors.

  20. Preformed Receptors • Pattern recognition receptors: recognize pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMP). • Toll-like receptors: also activated by binding to a PAMP.

  21. The Complement Receptors: • C3b (opsonin) fragments bind to its receptors on Phagocytes and B cells.

  22. The immunoglobulins Fc receptors: -Antigen-antibody complex are recognized by Fc receptors on phagocytic cells. -The Fc receptor on mast cells that binds IgE is exceptional (bounded before interaction with the antigen).

  23. Immunoglobulins Fc Receptors

  24. N The Natural Killer Cell Receptors: Killer activation receptors (KARS): Recognize certain type of molecules expressed by unhealthy host cells. Killer inhibition receptors(KIRS): Recognize the presence of MHC class I , which is normally displayed on the host cell surfaces.

  25. N • Somatically Generated Receptors: • B cell receptors (BCR): • Immunoglobulins (IgM &IgD) serve as B-cell receptors. • T cell receptors (TCR): • Cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) and TCR bind to MHC. • CD4and CD8 are co-receptors.
