Q

Interferons

A

Work against viral infection when they infect a lymphocyte.
Lymphocyte realizes they are infected and are dying
The lymphocyte will secrete interferons to alert cells of what is coming.
This prevents the virus from binding to other cells

Q

Complement system

A

Part of antimicrobial proteins
It consists of about 30 proteins that complement the specific immunity and non-specific resistance
-It is activated by 3 different pathways
- Once it is activated it can start 4 methods of destructions

3 pathways, once they are activated they end up at complement protein C3. They become activated C3a or C3b. After, those go on to activate the 4 methods of destruction

41
Q

Classical Pathway

A
  • Activation depends on antibody
  • Part of specific immunity
  • The antibodies bind to the antigen-antibody complex, changing its shape which reveals a complement protein binding site.
  • C1 binds to that site and causing other complement proteins (like C3b) to attach to the antibody. This cascade reaction is called complement fixation
  • basically binding of C1 to antigen-antibody complex activates the classical pathway
42
Q

Alternative pathway

A
  • Spontaneous sampling
  • non-specific
  • does not require antibody
  • Once a foreign material is identified, C3 breaks down to C3a and C3b
43
Q

Lectin

A

Relies on lectins

  • Some pathogens have lectins as their markers
  • After identifying the lectins the complement proteins react
  • The proteins become active and initiate the methods of destruction
44
Q

4 methods od destruction

A

Inflammation
Immune clearance
Phagocytosis
Cytolysis

45
Q

C3a

A
  • Inflammatory response
  • It influences basophils and mast cells to produce an inflammatory response
  • Basophils and mast cells degranulate and secrete their chemicals (leukotrienes, histamine, heparin)
46
Q

C3b

A
  • Immune clearance
  • phagocytosis
  • Cytolysis
47
Q

Immune clearance and C3b

A
  • C3b binds antigen-antibody complexes to erythrocytes
  • The erythrocyte will transport the chain to the liver and spleen.
  • Lymphocytes and macrophages will destroy the complex, clearing it from the system.
48
Q

Phagocytosis and C3b

A
  • A signal on the surface of a foreign cell tells macrophages to eat it that cell.
  • C3b binds to the pathogen and it functions as a signal this is called “opsonization”
49
Q

Opsonization

A

Coating a pathogen with C3b to mark it for destruction

50
Q

Cytolysis and C3b

A
  • The cell bursts
  • Several C proteins work to put a hole in the pathogen’s cell membrane.
  • C3b activates C5b activates C5-C9.
  • They create the “membrane attack complex”
  • Water can now come in until it lysis the cell
  • Macrophages will eat the remainings
51
Q

Membrane attack complex

A

Complement proteins form a ring in the plasma membrane of the target cell causing it to lysis.

52
Q

Immune surveillance

A
  • NK continually patrol the body looking for pathogens and diseased host cells
  • They will attack and destroy
53
Q

NK

A
  • Natural Killer cells
  • Lymphocyte
  • Immune Surveillance
  • bacteria, cells of transplanted organs, cells infected with viruses and cancer cells
  • Use proteins: Perforins, Granzymes
54
Q

Perforins

A

Nk’s protein

They perforate the membrane of the target cell

55
Q

Granzymes

A

NK’s protein

  • Once the cell has a perforated hole from the perforins
  • The NK will also dump in lytic enzymes into the cell
  • The enzymes destroy the machinery inside the cell
56
Q

Inflammation

A

Local response to tissue injury

  • itis suffix means inflammation of that organ
  • Initiated by basophils which release their leukotrienes especially cytokines
57
Q

Purposes of inflammation

A
  • Limits spread of pathogens, then destroys them
  • removes debris from damaged tissue
  • initiate tissue repair
58
Q

Cytokines

A
  • Chemicals during inflammation that bring other cells to the area by chemotaxis
  • Neutrophils and Eosinophils, and macrophages
  • Basophils and mast cells will come in and secrete histamine and heparin
59
Q

Hyperemia

A
  • The increase of blood flow to the area during the inflammation process
  • Responsible for redness, swelling, heat
60
Q

Four cardinal signs of inflammation

A

Redness
Swelling
Heat
Pain

61
Q

Fever

A
  • Elevated blood temp to increase metabolic rate and get immune cells working
  • Regulated by hypothalamus
  • Molecules that are known as pyrogens
  • The pyrogens stimulate the hypothalamus to reset the body temperature
  • 3 stages
62
Q

Stages of fever

A

Onset: Temperature is reset and it starts to go up. (shivers)
Stadium: Temperature oscillates as long as a pathogen is present (Up/down)
Defervescence: Temperature returs to normal. (sweating, warm, flushed skin)

63
Q

Exogenous pyrogens

A

Fever producing agents from outside the body.

Sometimes found on the surface of bacteria or viruses

64
Q

Endogenous pyrogens

A

Stimulate neurons in the hypothalamus to raise the set point of body temperature

65
Q

Specific immunity and its two characteristics

A

-The adaptive immune response
Specificity:
-Specific to what we are attacking
- Will adapt to attack a pathogen and it will be very specific to only that pathogen
Memory:
- Produces a memory of what that pathogen was
- When re-exposed the body reacts so quickly we don’t notice the illness

66
Q

Two types of immunity

A

Cellular

Humoral

67
Q

Cellular immunity

A
  • Cells physically defend against pathogens
  • T-cell, lymphocyte
  • Directly destroy the pathogens
68
Q

Humoral immunity

A
  • Antibody-mediated
  • Fluids of the body lymph and blood
  • More indirect
  • B-cells that differentiate into another cell that secrete other antibodies
  • The antibodies go into lymph and blood circulating in those fluids until they find their target
69
Q

4 forms of immunity

A

Natural active immunity
Artificial active immunity
Natural passive immunity
Artificial passive immunity

70
Q

Natural active immunity

A

Active production of our own antibodies or T-cells as a result of infection or natural exposure to antigen.
- memory made

71
Q

Artificial active immunity

A

Actively production of our own antibody or T-cells as a result of vaccination against the disease.
- memory made

72
Q

Natural passive immunity

A

Temporary immunity that results from antibodies produced by another person.

  • fetuses acquire antibodies from the placenta
  • no memory
73
Q

Artificial passive immunity

A

Temporary immunity that results from the injection of immune serum (antibodies) from another person to animal

  • snakebite treatment. Antivenom
  • no memory
74
Q

Antigen

A

Antibiotic generator
Any molecule that triggers an immune response
Large molecule

75
Q

Epitopes

A
  • part of the antigen molecule, smaller part

- the part that we respond to

76
Q

Haptens

A
  • Smaller molecules are too small to be recognized by themselves.
  • Once they bind to macromolecules will elicit a response.
  • many times an allervic response
  • pollen, cosmetics, detergents, poison
77
Q

Major cells of immune system

A

Major cells of the immune system

  • lymphocytes
  • macrophages
  • dendritic cells
78
Q

Dendritic cells

A
  • Sound the alarm that something is there
79
Q

3 categories of lymphocytes

A

NK- not involved with specific immune, they are immune surveillance
T-Lymphocyte
B-lymphocyte

80
Q

Life cycle of T and B cells

A
  • Born in bone marrow
  • B-cells stay there
  • T-cells migrate to the thymus where they mature
81
Q

T-cells maturation

A
  • They maturate in the thymus.
  • The thymus secretes hormones that will influence the T-cells to produce receptors on their surface
  • Those receptors allow them to function in their roles
  • While developing they are isolated and tested
  • If the cell doesn’t react to our own body antigen they pass the test and are deployed to lymphatic tissue and organs.
82
Q

What happens when T-cells fail the test

A
  • The ones that fail the test either get destroyed and all cells that come from that line (clonal deletion)
    . They also go through anergy,
    receptors are removed so they can’t do anything.
83
Q

APCs

A

Antigen-presenting cell
- They present foreign antigens
- macrophages, dendritic cells and B-cells
- All cells have self-markers
- The APC won’t recognize the self-marker of foreign cell, it phagocytizes the cell and takes its self-marker.
it then comes over to a T-cell and shows it the foreign marker. That activates specific immune response to that marker.
- The t-cell transforms into other t-cells including memory cells and cytotoxic-t-cell

84
Q

Cytotoxic T-cell

A
  • Programmed to destroy a cell based on the marker shown to the T-cell by the APCs.
  • Effectors of cellular immunity
  • Recognizes MHCI
  • Delivers lethal chemicals like NK cells do
85
Q

Helper T-cells

A
  • The most important immune cell in the body
  • The T-cell that starts the cellular immune response, that the cell the marker is shown to
  • Also activates humoral immunity by recognizing that the B-cell acting as an APC has a foreign marker.
  • Involved in non-specific defense mechanisms
86
Q

TM memory

A

Responsible for memory in cellular immunity
descend from T-cells
Circulate in blood and lymph

87
Q

MHCI

A

Self-marker
Major histocompatibility complex
T-cytotoxic cells only recognize MHCI

88
Q

MHCII

A

Major histocompatibility complex
Only found on APCs
The site where APC can display foreign MCHI complex
T helper cell only recognizes MHCII

89
Q

Humoral immunity

A

Indirect
relies on antibodies
neutrolizing
B-cell main cell by initiating a response
The B-cells don’t make the antibodies, they have to be activated and made into the plasma cell or effector cell

90
Q

Stages of humoral immunity

A

Recognition
attack
memory

91
Q

Recognition stage of humoral immunity

A
  • The B-cells have unique antibodies, once they bind to the corresponding antigen the B-cell will use it to function as an APC
  • That B-cell goes over to T-helper, they bind and the Th cell recognizes the foreign cell and it activates that B-cell
  • Activated B-cell differentiates into memory cells and plasma cells
  • The plasma cells will become an antibody factory and release the antibodies that will bind to that specific antigen
92
Q

Attack stage of humoral immunity

A

-antibodies bind to antigen, it renders it harmless and tags it for destruction

93
Q

Memory stage of humoral immunity

A
  • Some B-cells differentiate into memory cells that circulate for a long time
94
Q
