Acquired Immunity: Outline • Acquired vs Innate Immunity • Functions of Acquired Immunity • Humoral Immunity: antibody • Cell Mediated Immunity • Role of Macrophages • Regulation of Immunity • Next
Acquired Immunity: Definitions • Acquired Immunity • Antigen • Immunogen • Humoral Immunity • Cell Mediated Immunity • Next
Acquired Immunity: Objectives • Definethe following terms: Antigen, immunogen, acquired immunity, humoral immunity, cell mediated immunity • Identify the cells of the acquired immune response from light or electron micrographs • Identify the functions of the cells of the acquired immune reponse • Next
Acquired Immunity • Definition • Acquired immunity( AKA adaptive immunity) is an altered reactivity to a specific compound after exposure to that compound • Characteristics • Specificity • Memory • Next
The altered reactivity will not be to all compounds, just those compounds to which the animal has been exposed The animal has a heightened specific response on second and subsequent exposures because the body ” remembers” previous contacts Next Acquired ImmunityImportant Features
Functions of Acquired Immunity Discriminate between self and non self for: • Defense • destruction of foreign molecules • Homeostasis • removal of dead or damaged cells • Surveillance • control of mutant or cancer cells • Next
Acquired Immunity has Two Forms • Humoral Immunity • lymphocytes react INDIRECTLY on non self molecules via antibodies • Cell Mediated Immunity • Lymphocytes actDIRECTLY on the non self molecules • Next
IMMUNOGEN: triggers immunity and combines with products Immunogen vs Antigen ANTIGEN: combines with the products of an immune response
Immunogenicity is not an inherent characteristic of a molecule Immunogen MUST first be recognized as foreign by the body Next Remember
Antibodies Distinguish Between • Diseases • measles & mumps • Macromolecules • proteins, complex carbohydrates • Molecules • amino acids, sugars • Submolecular Structures • D& L isomers; ortho, meta, para positions • Next
Endotoxin induction of Macrophage mediators:direct induction
A Complete Immune Response • Lymphocytes • B cells • T cells • Macrophages • critical accessory cells • Complement • combines with antibody to enhance destruction • Next
Acquired Immunity:Questions • How does clonal selection contribute to memory in the immune response? • Name three feature of a secondary immune response that make it different from a primary immune response.
