Immunology
“The study of the physiological mechanisms that humans and other animals use to defend their bodies from invasion by other organisms”
![Page 4: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Overview of the Immune Response
• We are surrounded by a myriad of potentially harmful microbial agents = pathogens
• Bacteria• Viruses• Fungi• Parasites
![Page 5: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Overview of the Immune Response
However…..in normal individuals most infections are of limited duration and leave little (if any) permanent damage
Due to: immune system responding to and eliminating the pathogen
![Page 7: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Intrinsic Barriers
• Mechanical– Skin– Epithelium
• Chemical– Enzymes– Oil
• Microbiological– Normal Flora

Overview of the Immune Response
Immune system has 2 functional divisions:
1. Innate – 1st line of defence
2. Adaptive – comes into play if innate defences are breached
![Page 9: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

![Page 11: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Overview of the Immune Response
All of the elements of innate/natural immunity:
1. Do not increase in response to re-exposure or chronic exposure to a microbe
2. Do not discriminate between foreign substances*
![Page 12: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Overview of the Immune Response
However….
Elements of acquired/adaptive immunity induced by exposure to foreign substances are:
1. Specific for a given pathogen
2. Increase both qualitatively and quantitatively following primary exposure to a given pathogen
![Page 13: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Overview of the Immune Response
The ultimate defence against a pathogen (whether elicited by the innate or adaptive immune system) is to reduce invader’s genes from an active polymer to inactive monomers
“Break big things into little things” This is accomplished by phagocyte cells
![Page 14: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Overview of the Immune Response
Steps in Phagocytosis:
1. Adhesion – “grabbing”2. Ingestion – “engulfing”3. Digestion – “breaking down”
![Page 15: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Innate-Activated Phagocytosis
![Page 16: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Overview of the Immune Response
• Almost every component of the immune system contributes to:1. Recognizing pathogens2. Destroying pathogens3. Communicating between these two
activities
![Page 17: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Hallmarks of Adaptive Immune Responses
1. Specificity
2. Diversity
3. Memory
4. Self/Non-self Discrimination
5. Self Limitation
![Page 18: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hallmarks of Adaptive Immune Responses
1. Specificity
• Immune responses are specific for distinct antigens
antigenic determinant/epitope:- portion of the molecule recognized
![Page 19: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Hallmarks of Adaptive Immune Responses
2. Diversity
• Vertebrate immune system can recognize ~1016 distinct antigens
• This is accomplished by sets of corresponding recognition molecules (receptors) on immune cells
• Antibody• T cell receptors
![Page 20: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hallmarks of Adaptive Immune Responses
2. Diversity (cont.)
• lymphocyte receptor repertoire:- the set of antigen (Ag) receptors in a given individual’s immune system
![Page 21: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Hallmarks of Adaptive Immune Responses
3. Memory
• Exposure of the adaptive immune system to Ag increases its ability to respond to the same or closely related antigen following re-exposure
• Secondary immune responses =– Faster– Larger– Qualitatively different
![Page 22: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Hallmarks of Adaptive Immune Responses
4. Self-Limitation
• Adaptive immune responses are transient
• Immune responses are tightly regulated and controlled
![Page 24: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Hallmarks of Adaptive Immune Responses
5. Self/Non-self Discrimination
• The immune system can tell foreign from self
• Immune responses to self can result in autoimmunity
• Immunological unresponsiveness to self is termed tolerance
![Page 25: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Clonal Selection Hypothesis
• The central principle of adaptive immunity!
• Is comprised of 4 basic principles

Myeloid ProgenitorMonocytes/macrophages• Macrophages are one of 2 phagocytic cells in
the body• Macrophage is the mature form of monocyte• Monocytes circulate in the blood & differentiate
into macrophages upon migration into tissue• Macrophages often produce the cytokines that
initiate the inflammatory response

Common Lymphoid Progenitor
• Produces lymphocytes
B cells: - bone marrow derived- upon activation differentiate into Ab-
secreting plasma cells
T cells: - thymus-derived- become either helper T cells (TH) or
cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL)
![Page 44: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

T Lymphocytes
TH Cells:• Activate other cells (macrophages, B
cells)
CTL:• Kill virus infected cells
![Page 46: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Common Lymphoid Progenitor
• T and B lymphocytes look alike, each having receptors for specific antigen
• NK cells: lack Ag-specific receptors– Important in the innate immune system– Kill infected/altered cells
![Page 47: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Lymphoid Tissues
• Organized tissues where lymphocytes interact with non-lymphoid cells
• Important in the initiation and maturation of adaptive immune responses
• 2 types of lymphoid tissues– Primary lymphoid organs– Secondary lymphoid organs
![Page 49: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Primary Lymphoid Organs
• Where lymphocytes are generated• Includes bone marrow & thymus• Both B and T cells are generated in the
bone marrow but only B cells mature there
• Once lymphocytes mature they leave the 1o lymphoid organs and are capable of responding to Ag
![Page 50: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
• Where adaptive immune responses are initiated & Ag/Ab encounter each other
• Exist to bring Ag and lymphocytes together
Lymph nodes:– Organized lymphoid structures– Collect ECF (lymph) and return it to the blood (in vessels
called lymphatics)– Afferent lymphatics drain lymph and Ags from tissues,
carrying it to the nodes where Ag is trapped
![Page 52: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
A. Lymph Node Structure
• Bean-shaped outer cortex, inner medulla
• Lymph enters via afferent lymphatics, percolates through node & exits via efferent lymphatics in medulla
• Naïve lymphocytes exit blood via high endothelial venules (HEV)
![Page 53: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
High Endothelial Venules (HEV)
• Specialized section of post-capillary venules• Plump endothelial cells protrude into vessel • In LNs found in paracortex and some areas of
cortex• Lymphocytes display increased adhesiveness
to HEV
![Page 54: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
A. Lymph Node Structure
Medulla: consists of macrophages and plasma cells
B cells: - found in follicles- some follicles contain germinal
centers where B cells proliferate in response to Ag
T cells: found in paracortical area
![Page 55: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

B. Spleen• Fist-sized organ located behind stomach
• Collects blood born Ag & also destroys aged RBCs
• Organ is divided into red pulp & white pulp
Red pulp:– where old RBCs are destroyed
White pulp:– where lymphocytes surround arterioles entering organ– Further subdivided into corona and periarteriole lymphoid sheath
(PALS)
![Page 57: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

Asplenia & Splenectomy• Genetic defect causing asplenia not yet
identified• Clinical consequence:
– Susceptibility to bacteremia caused by encapsulated bacteria caused by failure of the immune response to these common extracellular bacteria when they enter the blood stream
![Page 59: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

C. Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue
• Gut- and bronchial- associated lymphoid tissues (GALT & BALT)
• Purpose is to collect Ag from mucosal surfaces
• Specialized lymphoid tissue at the body’s “wet” surfaces required due to large surface area, rich with potential pathogens
![Page 61: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
C. Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue
Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT)• Includes tonsils, adenoids, appendix
and Peyer’s Patches (PP)• PPs collect Ag from epithelial surfaces
of GI tract via M cells• PPs composed of distinct T and B cell
areas
![Page 62: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)

Lymphocyte Recirculation
Naïve lymphocyte recirculation pattern:
B & T lymphocytes lymphocytes mature In b.m. & thymus in blood
PLN superior vena cava thoracic efferent duct lymphatics
![Page 64: Topic 1 - Intro and Overview of the Immune Response](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd3f1a28ab9e788bdf7d/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Lymphocyte RecirculationIf an infection occurs in periphery:
a) Ag enters local draining LN via afferent lymphatics. Ag gets trapped and is “displayed” to recirculating lymphocytes
b) Lymphocytes that specifically recognize the Ag are arrested in the LN, where proliferation and differentiation to effector lymphoid cells occurs
c) Specific effector cells leave the LN via efferent lymphatics
