Specific Defenses The Immune System Slide 2 Definitions Innate (nonspecific)Defenses against any pathogen Innate (nonspecific)Defenses against any pathogen ImmunitySpecific antibody and lymphocyte response to an antigen ImmunitySpecific antibody and lymphocyte response to an antigen Antigen (Ag)A substances that causes the body to produce specific Antigen (Ag)A substances that causes the body to produce specific antibodies or sensitized T cells antibodies or sensitized T cells Antibody (Ab)Proteins made in response to an antigen Antibody (Ab)Proteins made in response to an antigen Slide 3 Terminology SerologyStudy of reactions between antibodies and antigens SerologyStudy of reactions between antibodies and antigens AntiserumGeneric term for serum because it contains Ab AntiserumGeneric term for serum because it contains Ab GlobulinsSerum proteins GlobulinsSerum proteins Gamma ( ) globulinSerum fraction containing Ab Gamma ( ) globulinSerum fraction containing Ab Slide 4 Serum Proteins Figure 17.2 Slide 5 Immunity Types Acquired immunityDeveloped during an individual's lifetime Acquired immunityDeveloped during an individual's lifetime Humoral immunityInvolves Ab produced by B cells Humoral immunityInvolves Ab produced by B cells Cell-mediated immunityInvolves T cells Cell-mediated immunityInvolves T cells Slide 6 Acquired Immunity Naturally acquired active immunity Naturally acquired active immunity Resulting from infection Resulting from infection Naturally acquired passive immunity Naturally acquired passive immunity Transplacental or via colostrum Transplacental or via colostrum Artificially acquired active immunity Artificially acquired active immunity Injection of Ag (vaccination) Injection of Ag (vaccination) Artificially acquired passive immunity Artificially acquired passive immunity Injection of Ab Injection of Ab Slide 7 Antigenic Determinants Antibodies recognize and react with antigenic determinants or epitopes. Antibodies recognize and react with antigenic determinants or epitopes.

Bone marrow gives rise to B cells. Mature B cells migrate to lymphoid organs. Mature B cells migrate to lymphoid organs. A mature B cells recognizes epitopes. A mature B cells recognizes epitopes. Clonal Selection Slide 15 Self-tolerance Body doesn't make Ab against self Body doesn't make Ab against self Clonal deletion Clonal deletion The process of destroying B and T cells that react to self antigens The process of destroying B and T cells that react to self antigens Slide 16 The Results of Ag-Ab Binding Figure 17.9 Slide 17 Antibody titer: Is the amount of Ab in serum Is the amount of Ab in serum Figure 17.10 Slide 18 Monoclonal Antibodies Hybridomas are produced by fusing a cancer cell with an Ab-secreting plasma cells 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) The hybridoma cell culture is immortal and produces monoclonal Abs (Mabs) Immunotoxins: Mabs conjugated with a toxin to target cancer cells Immunotoxins: Mabs conjugated with a toxin to target cancer cells Chimeric Mabs:Genetically modified mice that produce Ab with a human constant region 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 Humanized Mabs: Mabs that are mostly human, except for mouse antigen-binding Slide 19 Monoclonal Antibodies Figure 17.11 Slide 20 Interleukin-1Stimulates T H cells Interleukin-1Stimulates T H cells Interleukin-2Activates T H, B, T C, and NK cells Interleukin-2Activates T H, B, T C, and NK cells Interleukin-12Differentiation of CD4 cells Interleukin-12Differentiation of CD4 cells -InterferonIncrease activity of macrophages -InterferonIncrease activity of macrophages ChemokinesCause leukocytes to move to an infection ChemokinesCause leukocytes to move to an infection Immune system cells communicate via cytokines Slide 21 Specialized lymphocytes, mostly T cells, respond to intracellular Ags Specialized lymphocytes, mostly T cells, respond to intracellular Ags After differentiating in the thymus, T cells migrate to lymphoid tissue After differentiating in the thymus, T cells migrate to lymphoid tissue T cells differentiate into effector T cells when stimulated by an Ag T cells differentiate into effector T cells when stimulated by an Ag Some effector T cells become memory cells Some effector T cells become memory cells Cell-Mediated Immunity Slide 22 M (microfold) cells in M (microfold) cells in Peyer's patches which contains Peyer's patches which contains Dendritic cells which are antigen- presenting cells and Dendritic cells which are antigen- presenting cells and T cells T cells Pathogens entering the gastrointestinal or respiratory tracts pass through: Slide 23 Dendritic cells present antigens Figure 17.12 Slide 24 Helper T Cells (CD4, T H ) Helper T Cells (CD4, T H ) T H 1Activate cells related to cell-mediated immunity T H 1Activate cells related to cell-mediated immunity T H 2Activate B cells to produce eosinophils, IgM, and IgE T H 2Activate B cells to produce eosinophils, IgM, and IgE Cytotoxic T Cells (CD8, T C ) Cytotoxic T Cells (CD8, T C ) Destroy target cells with perforin Destroy target cells with perforin T Cells Slide 25 Helper T Cells Figure 17.13 Slide 26 Cell-mediated Cytotoxicity Figure 17.14 Slide 27 Nonspecific Cells Activated macrophages: Macrophages stimulated by ingesting Ag or by cytokines Activated macrophages: Macrophages stimulated by ingesting Ag or by cytokines Natural killer cells: Lymphocytes that destroy virus-infected cells, tumor Natural killer cells: Lymphocytes that destroy virus-infected cells, tumor Figure 17.15 Slide 28 T-independent Antigens Figure 17.16 Slide 29 Antibody-Dependent Cell- Mediated Cytotoxicity Figure 17.18
