The Results of Ag-Ab Binding Figure 17.9
Antibody titer: • Is the amount of Ab in serum Figure 17.10
Monoclonal Antibodies • Hybridomas are produced by fusing a cancer cell with an Ab-secreting plasma cells • The hybridoma cell culture is immortal and produces monoclonal Abs (Mabs) • Immunotoxins: Mabs conjugated with a toxin to target cancer cells • Chimeric Mabs: Genetically modified mice that produce Ab with a human constant region • Humanized Mabs: Mabs that are mostly human, except for mouse antigen-binding
Monoclonal Antibodies Figure 17.11
Immune system cells communicate via cytokines • Interleukin-1 Stimulates TH cells • Interleukin-2 Activates TH, B, TC, and NK cells • Interleukin-12 Differentiation of CD4 cells • -Interferon Increase activity of macrophages • Chemokines Cause leukocytes to move to an infection
Cell-Mediated Immunity • Specialized lymphocytes, mostly T cells, respond to intracellular Ags • After differentiating in the thymus, T cells migrate to lymphoid tissue • T cells differentiate into effector T cells when stimulated by an Ag • Some effector T cells become memory cells
T Cells • Helper T Cells (CD4, TH) • TH1 Activate cells related to cell-mediated immunity • TH2 Activate B cells to produce eosinophils, IgM, and IgE • Cytotoxic T Cells (CD8, TC) • Destroy target cells with perforin
T Cells • Delayed Hypersensitivity T Cells (TD) • Associated with allergic reaction, transplant rejection, and tuberculin skin test • Suppressor T cells (TS) • Turn off immune response when Ag no longer present
Helper T Cells Figure 17.13
Cell-mediated Cytotoxicity Figure 17.14
Nonspecific Cells • Activated macrophages: Macrophages stimulated by ingesting Ag or by cytokines • Natural killer cells: Lymphocytes that destroy virus-infected cells, tumor Figure 17.15
