Immune System Cells, Cell Products and Organs That Protect the Body Against Disease
Properties of the Immune Response • Specificity: Unique response against each each invader B. Memory: Increased response at next invasion C. Discrimination: Ability to distinguish “self” from “non-self”
Applying Your Knowledge • Specificity • Memory • Discrimination between self and non-self Which property of the immune response: • keeps you from developing chicken pox a second time? (Assume you had a severe case at age six.) • helps you successfully recover from a cold? • causes you to reject a donated organ?
Components of the Immune System • Cells • Macrophages: engulf invaders • B cells: humoral immunity • T cells: cell-mediated immunity • Organs • Bone Marrow • Spleen • Thymus • Tonsils • Lymphatic vessels • Lymph Nodes
Antigens Macrophage releases cytokines to influence T and B cells Macrophages Engulf the Invader and Signal Other Immune System Cells Viral Invader Macrophage engulfs invader Macrophage Macrophage displays “processed” antigen
Helper T Cell binds to Macrophage T Cell Receptor T Cells Become Activated, Leading to Cell-mediated and Humoral Responses Macrophage Macrophage secretes cytokines to activate T cell Helper T Cell
Antibody B cells Activated Helper T cell stimulates division of selected B cell Humoral Response Invader binds to B cell that carries antibody matching the antigen Dividing B cell gives rise to memory B cells and plasma cells Memory B cells respond in future invasions Plasma cells secrete antibodies into bloodstream
BAD Antigen Constant Constant s s s s s s s s Antibody Structure: Y-Shaped Protein Variable Variable Variable Constant Variable Constant • Antibody has 2 heavy chains and 2 light chains. • Variable regions bind to antigen. • Constant regions bind to cells or other antibodies.

Antibodies Mark Invaders for Destruction Phagocytosis by a Macrophage
Applying Your Knowledge • Light Chain • Heavy Chain • Variable Region • Constant Region • Primary Structure • Secondary Structure • Tertiary Structure • Quaternary Structure • Which part of the antibody binds to the antigen? (choices on left) • Which type of protein structure is seen in a functional antibody molecule? (choices on right)
Cell-Mediated Response Activated Helper T cell stimulates activity of Cytotoxic T cells Division of T cells gives rise to memory T cells Cytotoxic T cell destroys infected body cells by forming pores in cell membrane Memory T cell responds in future infections
Applying Your Knowledge • Macrophage • Plasma Cell • Memory B Cell • Helper T Cell • Cytotoxic T Cell Which immune system cell: • keeps you from developing chicken pox a second time? (Assume you had a severe case at age six.) • helps you successfully recover from a cold? • causes you to reject a donated organ?
Cell-Mediated Immunity at Work Cytotoxic T Cells Cancer Cell
Diseases of the Immune System • Inherited Immune Deficiencies eg. SCID: Severe Combined Immune Deficiency B. AIDS: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome HIV infects Helper T Cells C. Autoimmune diseases 1. Autoimmune ulcerative colitis 2. Rheumatiod arthritis D. Allergies
Allergic Reactions Mast Cell Histamine vesicle Binding site for“allergy” antibodies “Allergy” plasma cell releases“allergy” antibodies Pollen grains enterrespiratory tract Pollen binds toallergy antibody Causes releaseof histamine,which causessymptoms
