The Duality of the Immune SysteM Flashcards
Antibody-Mediated Immunity
HUMORAL IMMUNITY
Humor
fluid
Antibody production
HUMORAL IMMUNITY
processes of HUMORAL IMMUNITY
- Activation of B cells
- Proliferation
- Differentiation
Proteins secreted un response to contact with antigens
ANTIBODY
ANTIBODY Moves to the
GAMMA of globulin
Protein migration:
Cathode to Anode
ANTIBODY STRUCTURE
FAB FRAGMENT
Fc FRAGMENT
o 1 light chain
o Half of heavy chain
o Binds to antigen
FAB FRAGMENT
o Crystallizable at 4C
o Half of heavy chain
o Binds to cell or phagocyte
Fc FRAGMENT
MECHANISM OF ACTION: ANTIBODY
- AGGLUTINATION AND PRECIPITATIOMN
- OPSONIZATION
- TOXIN NEUTRALIZATION
- STERIC HINDRANCE
- ACTIVATION OF COMPLEMENT
- ANTIBODY DEPENDENT CELLULAR CYTOXITY
Reaction between a SOLUBLE antibody and a PARTICULATE antigen
AGGLUTINATION
Clumps the antigens together to facilitate phagocytosis
AGGLUTINATION
Reduces number of infectious units to be dealt with
AGGLUTINATION
reaction between a Soluble antibody and SOLUBLE antigen
PRECIPITATION
Coating antigen with antibody to enhance phagocytes
OPSONIZATION
Causes inflammation and lysis; Serum proteins
ACTIVATION OF COMPLEMENT
Binding on cell surface before the antigens
STERIC HINDRANCE
Antibody-antigen complex initiates
COMPLEX FIXATION
Formation of MAC complex; Cell lysis
COMPLEX FIXATION
Antibody attached to target cell cause destruction by macrophages, eosinophils and NK cells
ANTIBODY DEPENDENT CELLULAR CYTOXITY
Cells in CELLULAR IMMUNITY
- Macrophages
- Antigen Presenting Cells
- T cells
Induce immune response by Tcells
Antigen Presenting Cells/Dendritic cell
types of T-HELPER CELLS
T-Helper Cells (A. Memory T cells; B. Cytokines)
T- Cytotoxic Cells
Activation
Secretes perforins
Causes lysis of infected host cell
T- Cytotoxic Cells
types of T CELLS
T-HELPER (TH1) CELSS T-HELPER (TH2) CELSS T-HELPER (TH17) CELSS Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL) T Regulatory (Treg) Cell Activated Macrophage Neutral Killer (NK) Cell
types of T CELLS
T-HELPER (TH1) CELSS T-HELPER (TH2) CELSS T-HELPER (TH17) CELSS Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL) T Regulatory (Treg) Cell Activated Macrophage Neutral Killer (NK) Cell
Activates cells related to cell-mediated immunity: macrophages, Tc cells, and natural killer cells
T-HELPER (TH1) CELSS
Stimulates production of eosinophils, IgM, and IgE
T-HELPER (TH2) CELSS
Recruits neutrophil; stimulates production of antimicrobial proteins
T-HELPER (TH17) CELSS
Destroys target cells on contact; generated from T cytotoxic cell
Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL)
Regulates immune response and helps maintain self-tolerance
T Regulatory (Treg) Cell
Enhanced phagocytic activity; attacks cancer rolls
Neutral Killer (NK) Cell
Attacks and destroys target cell; participates in antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxity
Neutral Killer (NK) Cell
TYPES OF ACQUIRED IMMUNITY
NATURAL IMMUNITY
ARTIFICIAL IMMUNITY
Transfer of antibodies from mother to her infant; Temporary immunity to newborn
Naturally Acquired Passive Immunity
Exposure to antigen; Infection
Naturally Acquired Active Immunity
Injection of antigen
Artificially Acquired Active Immunity
Vaccination of antigenic preparations:
- Toxoids
- Attenuated cell
- killed organism
- Capsular Polysaccharide
Injection of antibodies
Artificially Acquired Passive Immunity
Factors of COLONIZATION AND DISSEMINATION
- Host defense mechanism
2. Pathogenicity and Virulence
refers to the ability of a microbe to cause disease in the host
