Called the Private Ag
Low Incidence Ag
<1% of the population
Natural vs Acquired
Natural
- present at birth
- std response for all Ag
- no cell memory
- first and second line of defense
Acquired
- “adaptive”
- diverse response for each Ag
- 2nd exposure has a greater response than 1st
- with cell memory – B and T cells
- 3rd line of defense
First Line of defense
Skin and mucous membrane
Secrete lysozyme to attact bacterial CW
Acidity of GIT and vagina
Second line of defense
Phagocytosis – neutrocyte, monocyte, macrophage
Infammation and fever
Antimicrobial substances – complement, properdin, INF, TNF, betalysin
Third line of defense
Specialized lymphocyte – B and T cel
Abs
Cellular components of Natural Immune System
Phagocytes
Basophilic mast cells
Eosinophil
3rd population lymphocyte – null lymphocyte, NK cell (5-10%; CD 16 and CD 56)
Humoral Components of the Natural Immune System
Complement Major INF Lysozyme Antimicrobial Lymphokine-activated Killer Cells
Cellular component of Adaptive System
T and B cells
Humoral components of adaptive system
Lymphokines
Abs
“Steps” in Phagocytosis
Initiation
Chemotaxis
Engulfment
Digestion
Describe the initiation of Phagocytosis
Initiated due to tissue damage – result of trauma or microorganism multiplication
Activated phagocyte has increased surface receptors for adherence – CD3; laminin receptor; larcyl-formyl-methionylphenylalanin receptor
First to migrate due to initiated phagocytosis
Neutrocyte
Role of monocyte during initiation of phagocytosis
Second to migrate
Complement component that acts as a chemotaxin
C5a
Job’s syndrome of chemotaxis
Normal random act
Abnormal directional/chemo activity
Lazy Leukocyte syndrome
Abnormal random and chemo activity
Test: Boyden Chamber Assay
What initiates engulfment
Large capsules
Opsonins
Interact with surface bacteria to render them acceptable to the phagocyte
- specfic Abs
- complement C3b
Complement that acts as an opsonins
C3b
Process of Digesting jn Phagocytosis
Lysozyme approaches phagosome – fuse – rupture – discharge hydrolitic enzymes and peroxidase
Cells become granulated as foreign materials
Destruction of the Antigen
- formation of phagolysosome leads to release of lysosomal contents
- activated macrophages produce nitric oxide
- activation of NADPH oxidase from phagosome membrane leading to ROXs
Disease with impaired NADPH oxidase
Chronic Granulomatous Disease
Cardinal signs of Inflammation
Rubor: redness Calor: heat Tumor: swell Dulor: pain Fundio laesa: loss of function
Vascular response during infamm
Vasodilation –> increase blood flow and cell permeability –> redness and heat
Cellular response during inflamm
Activation of neutrophils and macrophages –> fever
Interleukin responsible for fever
IL-2
Interferes with viral replicaton
Interferon
INF produced by virus-induced leukocyte
INF alpha
Major producer of INF alpha
Null lymphocyte
Produced by double stranded RNA fibroblast cell
IFN beta
Major producer of IFN beta
Fibroblasts and epith cells
Reactant/s that increase 1000x during inflamm
CRP and Serum Amyloid A
Type 2 IFN
Gamma
IFN produced by immunologically stimulated lympho
IFN gamma
Major producer of IFN gamma
T cell
IFN primarily produced as a component of the specific immune response to viral and other pathogens
IFN gamma
Cytotoxic against tumor cells and virally infected cells
TNF
TNF produced by macrophages
TNF alpha aka CACHETIN
TNF produced by CD 4+ and CD8+
TNF beta aka LYMPHOTOXIN
Series of protein whose overall fxn is to mediate inflamm
Complement
Serum protein thay exerts bactericidal and viricdal effects in the presence of C3 abd Mg++
Properdin
Heat stable cationic substance with bactericidal activity
Betalysin
Ab production is done by the body
Active immunity
Type of immunity: vaccination
