Q

What happens after phagocytosis

A

Unique and recognizable parts (antigen) are processed and placed on the phagocytic cell surface. The WBC’s then show the level 3 defenses the antigen and they know who they need to look for.
*level 3 cells only recognize antigen when placed on a WBC surface

In the bone marrow
-This is to destroy cells that would respond to antigens on our own cell surfaces so that the only ones left find antigens on foreign cells and then attack. Once mature dumped into circulation then jump into lymphatic organs (nodes, spleen, etc.)

Q

Once a Th0 cell is converted to a Th1 what do the secreted cytokines do?

A
  1. Cause APC cells to kill better/faster
  2. Activate T cytotoxic (Tc0) to rapidly clone info about antigen which results in a huge number of T cytotoxic cells
    Majority: Tc Clones are active currently and go to the bloodstream and tissues using chemotaxis to find Antigen bearing cells.
    Minority (small amount): Stay dormant, don’t work during first exposure, but work later on in another exposure to the pathogen, wander around

Q

Humoral immunity steps

A

Activation of B cells
-MHC-2 or B cell receptors in membrane
T dependent activation (most common)
-APC enters lymph nodes
–Stimulates Th0 to create Th2
—Th2 activates virgin B-cells to clone (bind to MHC-2 on B cell surface)
Cloned B-cells differentiate into:
-Majority: plasma cells which secrete antibodies which travel into plasma
-Minority: become B-memory cells - dormant plasma cells, don’t respond during first exposure.

53
Q

54
Q

Antibody action: Agglutination

A

-Clumping
-Fab binds to different antigen, bearing, causes. causing clumping of cells (does not kill)
-Helps fight:
flagellar antigens because agglutination prevents bacteria from swimming away and/or dispersing
-bacteria and larger viruses can clump which makes them bigger and then easier to phagocytize

55
Q

Antibody action: Opsonization

A

“enhanced phagocytosis”
-Fc end of antibody binds to cell surface of phagocyte
-Fab end binds to invaders antigen
-Antibodies deliver phagocytizable pathogens
helps fight:
-bacteria, or large clumped virus

  • Fc binds to NK cell surface
  • Antibody binds onto lymphocyte making it specific for antigen
  • directs abnormal cell killing process
  • works best against eukaryotic abnormal cells
57
Q

-Fc end binds to loose complement
-stimulates chain reaction of bindings
Causes:
-opsonization (comp. proteins sticking to bac. to make them easier to phagocytize)
-inflammation (deliver more NK/phagocytic cells) -> helps get rid of eukaryotic cells and bacteria
-Membrane attack complex - works against: bacteria, yeasts, worms, fungi, infected self cells

58
Q

Antibody activation: Neutralization

A 
Make antigen no longer a threat
-Fab grabs antigens and prevents binding to host cell tissues
--ex: enterotoxins can't bind to intestinal lining to causes symptoms
Used to fight:
-toxins: only exotoxins 
-enzymes
-viruses
-bacterial ligands/adhesions
59
Q

Antibody activation: oxidation

A 
Fab binds to invaders antigens 
-H2O2 or O3 made in local area
-before cell can make catalase disulfidismultase causes so the cell bursts and dies
Used to fight:
-bacteria
60
Q

Allergen

A

Allergy producing antigen

61
Q

Sensitization

A

Process of becoming allergic by continually adding and loading IgE onto basophils, and eosinophils
-allergens trigger production IgE antibodies
-IgE binds by Fc to: mast cells, basophils, eosinophils
Once mast, basophils, eosinophils have a certain amount of IgE on them they burst and release histamine, leukotrienes, bradykinin, serotonin which causes large allergic reaction (degranulation)

all responses that happen during the first exposure plus

  • Bm respond to antigen quicker and without APC
  • form plasma cells which secrete antibodies
83
Q

Why is phagocytosis necessary?

A

Phagocytic cells process invading pathogens and place antigens on their surface. The antigen bearing cells travel to the lymphatic tissues and present antigens to the T and B lymphocytes. Without this processing the T and B lymphocytes would not respond to antigenic material

Q

Phagocytic cells include ____ in the tissues ____ in the blood, and _____ in the blood and tissues

A

macrophages; monocytes; neutrophiles

85
Q

How are NK cells and cytotoxic T cells alike/different

A

Both - recognize abnormal eukaryotic cells and destroy them using perforin and granzyme
-NK cells roam and destroy ANY abnormal cell while cytotoxic T cells respond to a specific antigen within the cells MHC-1 and seek cells bearing that specific antigen ONLY. Cytotoxic T cells also secrete cytokines while at the site of infection

86
Q

Best defense against a pathogen that can hide within the cytoplasm of other cells

A

Cytotoxic T cells which recognize abnormal self cells harboring the pathogen by their MHC-1 antigen complex and destroy them with perforin and granzyme, which exposes the pathogens to other mechanisms of killing.
