A

•Generally impermeable.
•Openings through it have sphincters or barriers in
place.
•Slightly acidic: Inhibits bacterial growth.
•Sweat/perspiration helps wash invaders out of pores.
•Openings (mouth and anus) have sphincters and
associated mucous membranes (sticky secretions
inhibit entrance of foreign matter).

Q

(nonspecific) natural killer defenses describe NK
-attacks what?
adheres to what? what enzyme?
role in attacking what?

A

They will attack pretty much any cell that looks
abnormal; i.e. not presenting the surface cell proteins
and other molecules associated with “self”.
• They will generally adhere to abnormal cells and
causes lysis (tear them open) with an enzyme called
PERFORIN.
• Known to have a role in attacking tumor cells
(cancers).

Q

OTHER NONSPECIFIC
DEFENSES
INTERFERONS describe

A

small proteins released by
lymphocytes and macrophages, or tissues invaded by
viruses.
• Bind to surfaces of normal cells, and stimulates them
to produce anti-viral proteins in their own cytoplasm.
• These antiviral proteins do not prevent entrance of
viruses into a cell, but once in prevent their
reproduction. This slows virus action until other cells
can arrive to help dispose of them.

Q

what is a complement NONSPECIFIC

DEFENSES

A

• Special proteins, about 30 different kinds.
• They are called complement because they do not act
alone.
• Together with antibodies, they will begin a series of
reactions with other complement proteins to build an
enzyme that will attach to an invader’s cell wall and
lyse it.

Q

what are antigens?

A

-A foreign substance or organism.
-Any substance against which an antibody
is produced.
-More specifically, antigens are generally
recognized as proteins or polysaccarides
on the cell surface of an invading organism
that do not correspond to “self”.

Q

what are antibodies? what did they bind to?
what can they combine with?
what do they initiate?

A

•Proteins produced by lymphocytes in response to an
antigen.
•They bind to specific sites on antigen surfaces.
•Antibodies don’t kill organisms. However, they:
•can inactivate an invader, and
•initiate the process of activating phagocytic cells
and other natural killers.
•Can combine with bacterial toxins or viruses to
prevent attachment to target cells (“inactivation”).
•There is a SPECIFIC antibody for any one given type of individual invader.

A

Specific antibodies and Natural antibodies

27
Q

ANTIBODY COMPONENT

STRUCTURE

A

Made up of four polypeptides (amino acid chains).
Two longer and larger, two shorter and smaller.
Have the shape of a letter “Y”.
Intersection of arms and base of “Y shape” is flexible,allowing deformation of antibody when it attaches toan antigen.

28
Q

ANTIBODY COMPONENT

STRUCTURE

A

(Remember, they belong to group of

plasma proteins called “globulins.”)

29
Q

what are specific regions of the antibodies what does it mean

A

•At the tip of the arms of the Y-shape.
•Variable region has the potential to bind with
particular classes of antigens.
•Once a raw antibody is stimulated to fit to a
specific antigen, it can then react with ONLY that
antigen. This is known as SINGLE SPECIFICITY.
•Can fit as precisely as a lock-and-key to an
antigen.

30
Q

Antibodies are anchored in the cell membrane of what does this mean in terms of t cells from the standard Y-shaped antibody see on B-lympocytes.

A

B-lympocytes
and T—lympocytes.

Note that the receptor sites of
T-cells are slightly different
from the standard Y-shaped
antibody see on B-lympocytes.

31
Q

what are blymph?

where do they mature?
what does this has to do with other lymphocytes?

A

•Mature in bone marrow, then carried to lymphoid
tissue via blood stream and lymphatic circulation.
•This process of maturation and migration takes
place throughout life.
•Other lymphocytes can be generated via mitosis
of B lymphocytes resident in lymphoid tissues.

32
Q

describe tlymph
-immature state?
where do they mature?
what does this mean for other lymphocytes

A

•Immature lymphocytes leave bone marrow during fetal
and early neonatal life.
•Go to thymus gland.
•Mature there before they go on to other lymphoid
tissues.
•These are T-lymphocytes.
•Any lymphocyte derived from one of these original Tlymphocytes
via mitosis is also a T-lymphocyte.

33
Q

TC – Cytototoxic T- cells.

A

Directly attack antigens or

abnormal cells.

34
Q

Memory T cells.

A

Respond to antigens that have been

encountered before. Do so by making many copies of self via mitosis.

35
Q

TH – Helper T cells.

A

Stimulate activity of both B and T.
lymphocytes. Critical to B lymphocytes because
they are required to stimulate B-cells to make
antibodies.

36
Q

TS – Supressor T cells.

A

Can inhibit B and T-cells to

modulate and control immune response

37
Q

what are the three main points of T-LYMPHOCYTE ROLES

A

Initiate immune response.
• Maintain immune response.
• Control immune response.

38
Q

• Cytotoxic T cells will seek out and

what might make the cells become abnormal?

A

destroy abnormal cells
Cells may become abnormal due to infection/
attack by viruses or bacteria.

39
Q

Cytotoxic T cells describe attack lol

A

protein products of their takeover appear in the cell membrane of the affected cells, TC –
Cytototoxic T-cells attack and destroy the
affected cell, and the viruses or bacteria with it.

40
Q

• Upon activiation of TC – Cytototoxic what is produced??

A

TMemory cells are also produced.

41
Q

T Memory cells await the presentation of the same invader again what does this mean?

A

allow much faster, stronger, more long-lasting second-time or later-time response.

42
Q

T Helper cells, TH activate??

A

B-lymphocytes
before they can produce antibodies
themelves.

43
Q

T Suppressor cells, TS

A

inhibit T and B cell activities so that immune system doesn’t overreact.

44
Q

T cells recognize antigens when they are bound to plasma membrane (cell membrane)
of????

A

another cell

45
Q

explain no match no activation

how many times must it bind?

Once stimulated, T cells make TC and TM cells for

A

There must be a specific match between the T cell and the presenting antigen

AND it
must bind twice (COSTIMULATION) to be
sure of such a match.

invader destruction and future
responses respectively.

46
Q

describe all the genetic codings and significance for B-LYMPHOCYTES

A

There is genetic coding for millions of different Blymphocyte
types, each with its own particular type of
antibody.

47
Q

If B cells encounter a matching antigen anywhere in the body, (can or cannot be activated?) describe this process?

A

can be activated

This could take quite some time between when the antigen gets into the body and it finally encounters one of the few among millions that match.

48
Q

B cells are mobile- what does this mean??

A

So encounter is frequently in a

lymph node, or near point of infection.

49
Q

B-LYMPHOCYTE FUNCTION 5 steps

A
  1. Initial binding between a B cell and an antigen (also known as “Sensitization”.
  2. Antigen brought into the B cell, then presented again
    on cell surface of the B cell.
  3. B cell will not undergo complete activation until
    facilitated by a Helper T cell.
  4. TH cells secrete chemical called cytokines.
  5. Cytokines stimulate both B cell activation and
    replication (making lots more B cells!).
  6. Cell division makes two kinds of B cells: (1) PLASMA
    CELLS, and (2) B MEMORY CELLS.
  7. Plasma cells make huge quantities of antibodies.
    This is when the effects of an antigen start to become
    knocked down (i.e when you feel less sick!)
  8. B Memory cells are retained for the next time that
    same antigen might be encountered. This is also
    known as “long term immunity”.
50
Q

OVERVIEW OF STAGES OF

SPECIFIC IMMUNE RESPONSE

A

(1) Antigen encounter and recognition by
lymphocytes.
(2) Lymphocyte activation.
(3) Attack.

51
Q

describe the first step on the specific immune response

A 
Specific lymphocytes are programmed
to recognize a specific antigen.
This usually happens in a lymphoid
organ, bloodstream, or lymph vessel.
(This could take quite some time…)
52
Q

describe the second step 2) LYMPHOCYTE ACTIVATION

A

Once a lymphocyte has recognized an antigen,
it undergoes numerous cycles of mitotic
divisions, making more of the same.
Each of those has about 100,000 antibodies
embedded in the cell membrane of each cell.
Some of the newly produced cells carry out the
attack; others influence the activation and
function of the attack cells.

53
Q

3) attack

A

B-lymphocytes have specific
receptors on their cell membrane –
ANTIBODIES – that bind with
invading materials/organisms.

54
Q

PRIMARY IMMUNE RESPONSE

A

B-lymphocyte – antigen contact induces mitosis
(plasma cells) for more antibody carrying cells.
Antibodies released to circulatory systems

55
Q

SECONDARY IMMUNE RESPONSE

A

•Some “activated B-lymphocytes” become plasma
cells.
•Some remain smaller, but retain antigen-recognition
ability. (B memory cells)
•Next time similar antigen is encountered, response
is MUCH FASTER due to resident and waiting
memory cells.

56
Q

UNDERSTANDING VACCINATIONS

A

• Vaccinations are based on the secondary immune response.
• Some for of dead or deactivated version of an antigen is
injected into an indiivdual
• Because the injection contains a dead version, it doesn’t harm
the person receiving the injection.
• However the cell-surface proteins still induce the process of
recognition, activation, etc. of B cells – including making B
memory cells.
• The B memory cells then stand ready to fight off such an
antigen if ever encountered without having to get sick in the first
place.

57
Q

NATURAL ANTIBODIES

A

It has always been thought that antibodies were
programmed to recognize and defend against
“nonself” cells and tissues.
However, a new class of antibodies known as
NATURAL ANTIBODIES have been discovered.
They begin production before birth. Before the
fetus could ever encounter anything that could be
nonself!

58
Q

what helps natural antibodies attach to

invaders and with the help of molecules called

A

can hold invaders at bay. But they

can’t kill them on their own.

59
Q

NATURAL ANTIBODIES are very important in

A

cleaning up

cellular junk and and debris.

60
Q

natural antibodies bind to molecules in living or dying cells?

A

They bind to molecules exposed in dead and
dying cells, and induce macrophages to help
clean them up.

61
Q

NATURAL ANTIBODIES are part of a waste removal system what does this mean

A

that helps clean up dead, dying,
and damaged cells of “self”.

They might also clean up dead, or exhausted
macrophages.

Other potential associations:
• Found in great numbers in people with
Alzheimers disease. May signal onset.
• May protect against atheroscleorosis.

62
Q

what u need to know about HIV

A
  • A retrovirus (RNA-based).
  • Once integrated into host, can remain dormant for years.
  • Preferentially enters and DISABLES HELPER TLYMPHOCYTES.

•Without these, B-lymphocytes can’t mature to make
antibodies, and natural killer cells can’t function fully.
Thus, an infected person can’t produce antibodies
against even the simples of invaders.
