Immunology Key terms • Adaptive (acquired) immunityThe creation of immunological memory after an initial response to a specific pathogen, leading to an enhanced response to subsequent encounters with that same pathogen. This process of acquired immunity is the basis of vaccination. • adaptive immunitythe components of the immune system that adapt themselves to each new disease encountered and are able to generate pathogen-specific immunity. • affinitythe attraction between an antibody and an antigen • alleleOne of a number of alternative forms of the same gene occupying a given position on a chromosome. • anaphylactic shockA severe and rapid systemic allergic reaction to an allergen, constricting the trachea and preventing breathing. • antibodiesAn antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large Y-shaped protein produced by B-cells that is used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects, such as bacteria and viruses. The antibody recognizes a unique part of the foreign target, called an "antigen. " • antibodya protein produced by B-lymphocytes that binds to a specific antigen • antigenA substance that induces an immune response, usually foreign. • antigena substance that binds to a specific antibody; may cause an immune response • antigensIn immunology, an antigen is a substance that evokes the production of one or more antibodies. • antimicrobial peptideAntimicrobial peptides (also called host defense peptides) are an evolutionarily conserved component of the innate immune response and are found among all classes of life. • autoimmuneAutoimmunity is the failure of an organism in recognizing its own constituent parts as self, which allows an immune response against its own cells and tissues. Any disease that results from such an aberrant immune response is termed an autoimmune disease. Autoimmunity is often caused by a lack of germ development of a target body, and as such the immune response acts against its own cells and tissues. Free to share, print, make copies and changes.

Immunology • autoimmunityThe condition where one's immune system attacks one's own tissues, i.e., an autoimmune disorder. • aviditythe measure of the synergism of the strength individual interactions between proteins • B cella lymphocyte, developed in the bursa of birds and the bone marrow of other animals, that produces antibodies and is responsible for the immune system • chemokineAny of various cytokines, produced during inflammation, that organize the leukocytes. • chemotaxisThe movement of a cell or an organism in response to a chemical stimulant. • ciliuma hairlike organelle projecting from a eukaryotic cell (such as unicellular organism or one cell of a multicelled organism), which serves either for locomotion by moving or as sensors • class switch recombinationA biological mechanism that changes a B cell's production of antibody from one class to another; for example, from an isotype called IgM to an isotype called IgG. • classical pathwaya group of blood proteins that mediate the specific antibody response • clonal selectionAn hypothesis which states that an individual lymphocyte (specifically, a B cell) expresses receptors specific to the distinct antigen, determined before the antibody ever encounters the antigen. Binding of Ag to a cell activates the cell, causing a proliferation of clone daughter cells. • cloneA group of identical cells derived from a single cell. • complement systeman aspect of the innate immune system that supplements the actions of the antibodies and phagocytic cells in clearing out pathogens from an organism • cytokineAny of various small regulatory proteins that regulate the cells of the immune system.

They include bacteria, fungi, and archaea. Some of these organisms perform tasks that are useful for the human host. However, the majority have no known beneficial or harmful effect. • Hypervariable regionIn antibodies, hypervariable regions form the antigen-binding site and are found on both light and heavy chains. They also contribute to the specificity of each antibody. In a variable region, the 3 HV segments of each heavy or light chain fold together at the N-terminus to form an antigen binding pocket.

Immunology • IgAimmunoglobulin A is an antibody isotype. • IgGimmunoglobulin G is an antibody isotype. • immuneImmunity is a biological term that describes a state of having sufficient biological defences to avoid infection, disease, or other unwanted biological invasion. In other words, it is the capability of the body to resist harmful microbes from entering it. Immunity involves both specific and non-specific components. • immune cellsWhite blood cells, or leukocytes, are cells of the immune system involved in defending the body against both infectious disease and foreign materials. • immunitythe state of being insusceptible to a specific thing. • immunodeficiencya depletion in the body's natural immune system, or in some component of it • innate immuneThe innate immune system, also known as non-specific immune system and first line of defense, comprises the cells and mechanisms that defend the host from infection by other organisms in a non-specific manner. This means that the cells of the innate system recognize and respond to pathogens in a generic way, but unlike the adaptive immune system, it does not confer long-lasting or protective immunity to the host. • innate immune systemThis is the initial line of defense that entails a cascade of cells and mechanisms that protect the host from infection by different organisms in an indeterminate pattern. • innate immune systemThis is the initial line of defense that entails a cascade of cells and mechanisms that protect the host from infection by different organisms in an indeterminate pattern. • Innate immunityThe natural resistance with which a person is born. It provides resistance through several physical, chemical, and cellular approaches. • interferonAny of a group of glycoproteins, produced by the immune system, that prevent viral replication in infected cells. • interferon-gammaa cytokine that is critical for innate and adaptive immunity against viral and intracellular bacterial infections.

Immunology • InterferonsInterferons (IFNs) are proteins made and released by host cells in response to the presence of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, parasites or tumor cells. They allow for communication between cells to trigger the protective defenses of the immune system that eradicate pathogens or tumors. • ironIron is a chemical element with the symbol Fe (from Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. It is a metal in the first transition series. • isotypeAntibodies can come in different varieties known as isotypes, which refer to the genetic variations or differences in the constant regions of the heavy and light chains of the antibody. • Kawasaki diseaseA disease in which the medium-sized blood vessels throughout the body become inflamed. Symptoms include fever, lymphadenopathy, and elevated platelet count. • LactoferrinLactoferrin (LF), also known as lactotransferrin (LTF), is a multifunctional protein of the transferrin family. Lactoferrin is a globular glycoprotein with a molecular mass of about 80 kDa. It is widely represented in various secretory fluids such as milk, saliva, tears, and nasal secretions. • leukocyteA white blood cell. • LeukocytesCells of the immune system involved in defending the body against both infectious disease and foreign materials.

Immunology • Natural killer cells (or NK cells)Natural killer cells (or NK cells) are a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte critical to the innate immune system. The role NK cells play is analogous to that of cytotoxic T cells in the vertebrate adaptive immune response. • neutrophilNeutrophil granulocytes are the most abundant type of white blood cells in mammals and form an essential part of the innate immune system. • Opportunistic pathogenOrganisms which cause an infectious disease in a host with depressed resistance are classified as opportunistic pathogens. Opportunistic disease may be caused by microbes that are ordinarily in contact with the host, such as pathogenic bacteria or fungi in the gastrointestinal or the upper respiratory tract. They may also result from (otherwise innocuous) microbes acquired from other hosts or from the environment as a result of traumatic introduction. An opportunistic disease requires impairment of host defenses. • opsonizationthe process by which a pathogen is marked for ingestion and destruction by a phagocyte • opsonizationthe process of an antigen bound by antibody or complement to attract phagocytic cells. • opsonizeto make (bacteria or other cells) more susceptible to the action of phagocytes by use of opsonins • paratopeThat part of the molecule of an antibody that binds to an antigen • passive immunitythe translocation of active humoral immunity from one individual to another in the form of custom-made antibodies. • pathogensA pathogen or infectious agent (colloquially known as a germ) is a microorganism (in the widest sense, such as a virus, bacterium, prion, or fungus) that causes disease in its host.

Immunology • phagocyticPhagocytosis, meaning "cell," and -osis, meaning "process," is the cellular process of engulfing solid particles by the cell membrane to form an internal phagosome by phagocytes and protists. • phagocytosisthe process where a cell incorporates a particle by extending pseudopodia and drawing the particle into a vacuole of its cytoplasm • polygenicHaving an infinite number of derivatives at a point (otherwise it is monogenic). • polymorphicrelating to polymorphism (any sense), able to have several shapes or forms • Primary pathogenThese pathogens cause disease as a result of their presence or activity within the normal, healthy host. Their intrinsic virulence (the severity of the disease they cause) is due to their need to reproduce and spread. • primary responsethe immune response occurring on the first exposure to an antigen, with specific antibodies appearing in the blood after a multiple day latent period • secondary responsethe immune response occurring on second and subsequent exposures to an antigen, with a stronger response to a lesser amount of antigen, and a shorter lag time compared to the primary immune response • Self moleculesThose components of an organism's body that can be distinguished by the immune system from foreign substances. • signaling pathwaySignal pathways occurs when an extracellular signaling molecule activates a cell surface receptor. In turn, this receptor alters intracellular molecules creating a response. There are two stages in this process:A signaling molecule activates a specific receptor protein on the cell membrane.A second messenger transmits the signal into the cell, eliciting a physiological response.In either step, the signal can be amplified. Thus, one signaling molecule can cause many responses. • Somatic hypermutationa cellular mechanism by which the immune system adapts to the new foreign elements that confront it (for example, microbes). A major component of the process of affinity maturation, SHM diversifies B cell receptors used to recognize foreign elements (antigens) and allows the immune system to adapt its response to new threats during the lifetime of an organism. • superantigenan antigen, which has a powerful interaction with T-lymphocytes • T cella lymphocyte, from the thymus, that can recognize specific antigens and can activate or deactivate other immune cells Free to share, print, make copies and changes.

Immunology The Time Course of an Immune Response Immune reactants, such as antibodies and effector T-cells, work to eliminate an infection, and their levels and activity rapidly increase following an encounter with an infectious agent, whether that agent is a pathogen or a vaccine. For several weeks these reactants remain in the serum and lymphatic tissues and provide protective immunity against reinfection by the same agent. During an early reinfection, few outward symptoms of illness are present, but the levels of immune reactants increase and are detectable in the blood and/or lymph. Following clearance of the infection, antibody level and effector T cell activity gradually declines. Because immunological memory has developed, reinfection at later times leads to a rapid increase in antibody production and effector T cell activity. These later infections can be mild or even inapparent. Free to share, print, make copies and changes.
