Presentation Transcript

  1. IMMUNOLOGY Cellular and molecular immunology (Abul K. Abbas )7th edition

  2. Application of Immunology • Clinical diagnosis • Treatment • Prophylaxis • Research

  3. Types of immunity • (Natural or Innate immunity) • (adaptive or acquired immunity)

  4. Innate immunity • First line of defence • Cellular and biochemical mechanisms are present before infection • These mechanisms react only to microbes • They respond in essentially the same way to repeated infections • The principal components of innate immunity are: • Physical and chemical barriers • Phagocytic cells • Blood proteins(CRP,complement,interferons) • cytokines

  5. Innate immunity • Some components are functioning at all times even before infection • Others are normally inactive but poised to respond rapidly to the microbes

  6. Anatomical Barriers - Mechanical Factors

  7. Anatomical Barriers - Chemical Factors

  8. Anatomical Barriers - Biological Factors

  9. Humoral Components

  10. Cellular Components

  11. interferon • Type I(IFN-α,IFN-β) all immune cells and fibroblasts as an anti virus • Type II(IFN- ) T cells as a immunoregulator

  12. interferons • Interferon alphas are used for treating cancers and viral infections • interferon betas are used for treating multiple sclerosis • interferon gamma is used for treating chronic granulomatous disease.

  13. Adaptive immunity • Stimulated by exposure to infectious and noninfectious agents,increase in magnitude and defensive capabilities with each succesive exposure to a particular microbe.

  14. Types of adaptive immunity • Humoral immunity (antibodies) Principal defence mechanism against extracellular microbes and their toxins • Cell mediated immunity (CMI) Defence against intracellular microbes

  15. Phases of adaptive immune resposes • Recognition of antigen • Activation of lymphocytes • Elimination of antigen(effector phase) • Decline of immune responses(homeostasis)
