Cellular Components Adaptive Immune Responses • Lymphocytes - B, Th, CTL, NKT • Antigen-presenting cells(APCs) - DC, Mj, B • Effector cells- Activated T cells, mononuclear phagocytes
Basic Immunology Effection Recognition Activation Ag(antigen)double recognition humural immunity APC double signalingcellular immunity (antigen presenting cell)
Chapter 1 Definition of antigen Antigen (Ag) Substances that combine specifically with a B or T cell’s antigen-binding receptorscan then induce an immune response are calledantigens.
Chapter 2 Characteristics of antigen The antigen molecule generally pose two natures, that is (1)immunogenicity (2)antigenicity
(1) Antigenic determinants or epitopes Antigenic determinants or epitopes are the immunologically active regions of an immunogen that bind to antigen-specific membrane receptors on lymphocytes (TCR/BCR) or to secreted antibodies.
Structure of epitopes 1 Conformational epitope Nonsequential polypeptides or polysaccharide on the surfaceof the molecules, Native conformation, 2 liner epitope A sequentialamino acid fragment, Linear determinant, Insideof the antigen molecule
(3) hypervarible region (HVR) (complimentarity determining region,CDR) : formation of the Ag binding site Framework region( FR ) : maintaining the 3- dimensional configuration
CDR (complimentarity determining region,)
4. Ab-dependent Cell-mediated cytotoxicity, ADCC enhance NK killing
CONCEPT APCs are immunocytes that can uptake, process and present antigens to other lymphocytes.
Professional APCs Dendritic Cells (DCs) Macrophages (M) B Lymphocytes

The invariant chain is cleaved to leave a peptide fragment, CLIP, bound to the MHC class II molecule CLIP (class II-associatedinvariant-chain peptide)
What are cytokines? • Cytokines are polypeptides produced by the cells of innate and adaptive immunity in response to microbes and other antigens as a result of cellular activation. • Cytokines initiate their actions by binding to specific membrane receptors on target cells. • The cellular responses to most cytokines consist of gene activation, resulting in the expression of new functions and sometimes the proliferation of the target cells
Autocrineaction act on cytokine-producing cell itself Paracrine action act on a nearby cell circulation Endocrine action act at a distance from the site of infection Cytokine actions may be local and systemic
directing migration of leukocytes Chemokines Tissue Primary lymphoid organs Secondary lymphoid organs Blood inflammation Cellular sources to inflammatory sites • inflammatory stimuli • Constitutively produced in lymphoid organs Physiologic traffic of lymphocytes through the organs
IL-2 • a growth factor for antigen-stimulated T lymphocytes • responsible for T cell clonal expansion after antigen recognition
Natural Killer cells (NK cells) • A type of cytotoxic lymphocytes • The principal physiologic role • Defense against infections by viruses and some other intracelluar • microbes • 2. Rejection of tumors
The mechanism of effector function Perforin Granzyme
Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) • Small molecular motifs conserved within a class of microbes • Usually essential for survival of the microbes • Recognized by cells of innate immune system • Activate innate immune response
Patterns recognition receptors (PRRs) • Proteins expressed by cells of innate immune system • Present on the cell surface, in endosomal vesicles, and in the cytoplasm
The subsets of CD4+Th cells • How they are induced, • What cytokines they produce • What effector mechanisms they activate

Significance of humoral immunity eliminate extracellular bacterium and toxin eliminate extracellular virus
Antigen crosslinks mIg(BCR), generating signal 1, which leads to increased expression of class II MHC and costimulatory B7. Antigen–BCR complexes are internalized by receptor-mediated endocytosis and degraded to peptides, which are bound by class II MHC and presented as peptide–MHC complexes. Th cell recognizes Ag–class II MHC and B7-CD28 co-stimulation on B-cell membrane which activates TH cell. Th cell begins to express CD40L. Interaction of CD40 and CD40L provides signal 2. Th cell release large quantities of cytokines(IL-4) signal 3 to support the progression of the B cell replication and differentiation.
