8th lecture The collaborations between innate and adaptive immunity. Antibody types and functions.
THE EFFECTS OF B CELLS ON THE INNATE ARM OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM (HUMMORAL IMMUNITY)
Antigenbinding Complement binding site Binding to Fc receptors Placental transfer THE CONSTANT REGION OF AN ANTIBODY CAN BIND Fc RECEPTORS (FcR) FcR activation occurs when the antibody forms a complex with an antigen
VARIABILITY IN THE CONSTANT REGION HEAVY AND LIGHT CHAINS DETERMINES THE CLASS OF IMMUNOGLOBULIN Isotype Sequence variability of H/L-chain constant regions Sequence variability of H/L-chain constant regions
! HUMAN IMMUNOGLOBULIN CLASSESEncoded by different structural gene segments (Isotypes) ! Heavy chain types: Light chain types: • kappa (κ) • lambda (λ) FcγR (gamma) can only bind IgG immunoglobulins FcαR (alpha) can only bind IgA immunoglobulins FcεR (epsilon) can only bind IgE immunoglobulins IgG - gamma (γ) heavy chains IgM - mu (μ) heavy chains IgA - alpha (α) heavy chains IgD - delta (δ) heavy chains IgE - epsilon (ε) heavy chains
Different cells express different Fc receptors on their surface • Expression of Fc receptors on the surface of cells is relatively constant (INFγ macrophages) • Fc receptors are activated not from a free antibody but by antibody-antigen complex • Antibodies of different isotypes activate different cells and have different effector functions
B CELL ACTIVATION AND THE GERMINAL CENTER Somatic mutation Affinity maturation Isotype switching Memory The progress of these germinal center reactions depend on T cell signals!
IL-2 IL-4 IL-5 Helper T cell IgM IL-2 IL-4 IL-6 IFNγ IL-2 IL-4 IL-5 IgG IL-5 TGFβ IgA B cell IL-4 IgE ISOTYPE SWITCHING IS T-DEPENDENT B cell proliferation, differentiation and isotype switching
Antigenbinding Complement binding site Binding to Fc receptors Placental transfer TRANSPORT PROCESSES INVOLVING THE Fc RECEPTORS Poly Ig receptors for IgA transport across the epithelium to the mucosal surface Neonatal Fcγ receptor for transport of maternal IgG across the placenta FcγRn on the placenta facilitate the transfer of maternal IgG to the fetus’s circulation, recognizing the constant region of IgGs
Pathological consequences of placental transport of IgG (hemolytic disease of the newborn) anti-Rh IgM Passive anti-D IgG
EFFECTOR FUNCTIONS OF ANTIBODIES Antibody-mediated immune responses • Opsonization • Neutralization • Complement fixation • ADCC
ANTIBODY EFFECTOR FUNCTIONS OPSONIZATION
ANTIBODY EFFECTOR FUNCTIONS NEUTRALIZATION
ANTIBODY EFFECTOR FUNCTIONS COMPLEMENT FIXATION Binding of complement protein 1 to IgG or IgM immunoglobulins on a bacterial surface
ANTIBODY EFFECTOR FUNCTIONS COMPLEMENT FIXATION Complement 1 protein and the immunoglobulin bound to the bacteria cause the binding of more complement proteins
ANTIBODY EFFECTOR FUNCTIONS COMPLEMENT FIXATION More complement proteins are recruited leading to the death of the extracellular pathogen (bacteria) by forming pores in it
ANTIBODY EFFECTOR FUNCTIONS ANTIBODY-DEPENDENT CELL CYTOTOXICITY Antibodies target virus infected cells, flagging them for the recognition by natural killer (NK) cells
