Chapter 22, part 3 The Lymphatic System and Immunity
Forms of immunity • Innate immunity • Genetically determined • Present at birth • Acquired immunity • Not present at birth • Achieved by exposure to antigen • Active immunity • Passive immunity
Figure 22.14 Types of Immunity Figure 22.14
Properties of immunity • Specificity – activated by and responds to a specific antigen • Versatility – is ready to confront any antigen at any time • Memory – “remembers” any antigen it has encountered • Tolerance – responds to foreign substances but ignores normal tissues
The immune system response • Antigen triggers an immune response • Activates T cells and B cells • T cells are activated after phagocytes exposed to antigen • T cells attack the antigen and stimulate B cells • Activated B cells mature and produce antibody • Antibody attacks antigen
Figure 22.15 An Overview of the Immune Response Figure 22.15
Major types of T cells • Cytotoxic T cells (TC) – attack foreign cells • Helper T cells (TH) – activate other T cells and B cells • Suppressor T cells (TS) – inhibit the activation of T and B cells
Antigen presentation • Antigen-glycoprotein combination appears on a cell membrane • Called MHC proteins (Major Histocompatibility Complex) • Coded for by genes of the MHC • T-cells sensitive to the antigen are activated upon contact
MHC classes • Class I – found on all nucleated cells • Class II – found on antigen presenting cells and lymphocytes
Lymphocytes respond to antigens bound to either class I or class II MHC proteins • Antigen recognition • T cell membranes contain CD markers • CD3 markers present on all T cells • CD8 markers on cytotoxic and suppressor T cells • CD4 markers on helper T cells

Activation of CD8 cells • Responds quickly giving rise to other T cells • Cytotoxic T cells – seek out and destroy abnormal cells • lymphotoxin • Memory TC cells – function during a second exposure to antigen • Suppressor T cells – suppress the immune response

Activation of CD4 T cells by antigens presented on class II MHC proteins • Produces helper T cells and memory T cells • Activated helper T cells • Secrete lymphokines that coordinate specific and nonspecific defenses • Enhance nonspecific defenses • Stimulate the activity of NK cells • Promote activation of B cells
