Topic Outline • Overview of the Immune System • 1st and 2nd lines of Defense • The Immune System • B cells • The antibody & antibody diversity • Vaccinations • Breast Feeding • Diagnostic applications • T cells • Allergies
Monocyte Neutrophil Eosinophil Basophil Dendritic Cell Lymphocyte
EXAMPLES FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE Can by physical and chemical Mucosal lining of GI Epidermis Ciliated epithelium of respiratory tract
Second line of defense include the following processes: • Phagocytosis • Complement • Interferons • Inflammation • Pyrogens
Summary Lines of Defense INNATE ACQUIRED
Immune System B cells T cells
B Cell: humoral or antibody mediated immunityANTIBODIES=IMMUNOGLOBULINS • Humoral Immunity • Matures in bone marrow • Moves to lymph nodes (& other locations) • Secretes antibodies “as plasma cell” • Also creates “memory” B cells B-lymphocyte
Different classes of immunoglobulins or antibodies IgA IgM IgG IgE IgD
Antibody Diversity • How do we acquire so many different types of antibodies? • Somatic recombination • Junctional diversity • hypermutations
V J C Antibody genes are composed of segments
Somatic Recombination • http://www.bio.davidson.edu/courses/Immunology/Flash/somaticrecomb.html
How are vaccinations related to immunity? Active and Passive
Active Vaccinations: AntibodyProduction Memory Cells!
Onto T Cells The next part gets tricky

T Cells These are some of the General characteristics of the T Cell receptor for antigen recognition. VJC (D) + D in the beta chain
Cytotoxic T Cell and MHC I Antigen presentation CD8+ cell
Tissue Transplantation • MHC proteins differ between individuals
The major histocompatibility complex • is a large group of genes on chromosome 6
Helper T Cell and MHC II Antigen presentation
B lymphocytes source of antibodies Overview of T lymphocytes
