MEANS OF AQUIRING IMMUNITY

1. ACTIVE: make own antibody

chance encounter w/Ag

a) natural

pregnancy

vaccination

b) artificial

introduce Ag via trt.

MEANS OF AQUIRING IMMUNITY

2. PASSIVE: transfer preformed antibody

a) natural : mother to fetus (6 mo protection) placental vs. colostral

b) artificial: immune therapy

Type of immune response

• Innate• defense we are

born with– phagocytic

cells– complement

proteins– anatomical *– physiological *

• Adaptive/acquired• defense that

develops with exposure/time – serum

antibodies– T cells (CMI)

* 1st line of defense!!!

Mechanisms of immunity:

• Cellular

– cells responsible for protection

– lymphocytes

– phagocytes

• Humoral

– antibodies (in serum) are responsible for protection

Inflammation: part of innate immunity

• poor at phagocytosis• granules contain histamine / serotonin

• vasodilators / permeability factors• requires binding of 2 IgE for release

lymphocytes

• small (5 – 15 um)• No lysosomes : all “brain” until activated

• distinguish self from non self• specific : recognize specific antigens

• MEMORY**• need presentation of Ag by macrophage

Basics of Immunology

• The adaptive immune response to antigen– Recognition as foreign

• First encounter: usually initiated by innate immune system cells

• Receptor-mediated

– Antigen processing and presentation• B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells

– Gene transcription, mediator release, cellular proliferation and differentiation, effector protein synthesis

Cell-mediated immunity

• T cells can only recognize and respond to processed fragments of protein.

• T cells are suited for cell to cell interaction and target body cells infected by virus, bacteria and abnormal or cancerous body cells or cells that are transplanted or infused.

Cytotoxic T cells

Cell-mediated immunity: T-cells

• Activation of T cells—T cell receptors bind to antigen presented by the antigen-MHC complex.

• CD4 and CD8 proteins interact with antigen and help maintain MHC-antigen coupling.

• Types of T-cells– Helper T cells (CD4)– Cytotoxic T cells (CD8)– Memory T-cells

T-Cell Activation

“ “ Activation and clonal expansion of CD4 and CD8 Cells”Activation and clonal expansion of CD4 and CD8 Cells”

Goal: Goal:

T cell activation T cells must accomplish a double recognition.

• They must recognize nonself (antigen) and self (MHC protein of a body cell) (Antigen recognition) .

• Co-stimulation by binding to other proteins on APC

• Cytokines (IL 1 and 2) are released by APC or T cell following co-stimulation

Antigen recognition and co-stimulation lead to activation.

Antigen binding without co-stimulation leads to anergy in T and B cells.

Activated T cell

• Activation leads to enlargement, differentiation and proliferation of T cells.

• T cells that are reproduced are clones of originally activated T cell.

• Activation, differentiation and proliferation occurs in secondary lymph organs and tissue.

• Activation leads to release of inflammatory cytokines.

T Cell-mediated Immunity

Principal function-Response to intracellular pathogens and cells

expressing foreign antigens

Recirculation-Naïve T cells circulate between the blood stream and the

lymphatic system

Antigen presentation-Naïve T cell cells only respond to APCs

Priming of T Cells

• Three types of effector T cells– CD8 (TC)

– CD4 (TH1)

– CD4 (TH2)

• Each type– Responds to different types of Ags– Activated by different Ag presentation– Has different effector function

T Cell Effector Types• CD8

– Viruses and intracellular bacteria– MHC I– Cytotoxic effector cells

• CD4 TH1

– Bacteria and parasites in APCs– MHC II– Effectors activate macrophages, CTLs and induce B cells to

produce opsonins

• CD4 TH2

– Extracellular bacteria and toxin producers– MHC II– Activate B cells to produce multiple antibody classes

Dendritic Cells

• Antigen presentation is sole function

• Antigenic uptake is followed by migration to lymph nodes

• Expression of MHC I, MHC II and B7• Loses phagocytic property• Secretes chemokines

Macrophages

• Involved in both innate and adaptive immunity

• May destroy pathogens or present Ag to T cells

• Expression of MHC I, MHC II and B7

• Scavenges dead cells

B Cells

• Binds soluble antigens

• Constitutively expresses MHC II

• Induced to express B7

NK Cells

• 5% of lymphocytes

• Nonspecific cytotoxicity

• No TCR/CD3

• Not MHC restricted

• No memory

Cell-mediated immunity• T cells can only recognize and respond to

processed fragments of protein.

• T cells are suited for cell to cell interaction and target body cells infected by virus, bacteria and abnormal or cancerous body cells or cells that are transplanted or infused.

• Antibodies can only inactivate an antigen and NOT destroy it.

• Antibodies prepare an organism for destruction by innate defenses.

T-Cell Activation• Lymphokines produced by lymphocytes

• Cytokines produced by other cells

Autocrine Stimulation

Paracrine Stimulation

HUMORAL IMMUNITY (Ab or AMI)

• Antigen + Macrophage + T cell + B cell

• Antibodies or Immunoglobulins

• SPECIFICITY!• MEMORY

**** antigen binding region

• Constant region (Fc) –

- activate effector cells or

complement - opsonin end

Immunoglobulin classes

• IgD is attached to B-cell plasma membrane

• IgM is released during primary response

• IgG functions in late primary and secondary response

• IgA found in body secretions

• IgE causes release of histamine

Antibody Isotypes-5

Antibody defense: PLANe

• Precipitation

• Lysis: Complement fixation and activation

• Agglutination

• Neutralization

• Enhancing phagocytosis

Opsonization

• Free IgG binds Fc receptors with low affinity

• IgG bound to Ag, binds to Fc receptors with high affinity

• Cross-linking receptors sends signal

IgG:

IgG1 IgG2

• Principle Ab in serum• 14 – 18 mg / ml• IgG1: 11 mg/ml• IgG2: 7 mg/ml

• fixes complement• late response to Ag

IgG1 IgG2 • selective transfer (colostrum) 10 opsonin• fetal / neonatal defense for• toxin inactivation phagocytosis• principal milk / colostrum Ig (farm species)

IgE

• largest Ig• pentamer

• serum (1-3 mg/ml)• fixes complement• 1st Ig produced to Ag challenge!

• Binds to mast cells basophils

• ACTIVATION• RELEASE OF

- histamine - serotonin

The various Fc portions of antibody molecules have very different biological functions, including pathogen blocking, complement fixation, toxin neutralization, and opsonization of bacteria for

enhanced phagocytosis by neutrophils and macrophages

IgG1 = endotoxin neutralization &

complement fixation

IgG2 = opsonization & neutrophil phagocytosis

IgM = blocking & complement

fixation

serum complement


IgA

• 3 different forms in serum• different form in secretion ( secretory piece)

• serum: 1-3 mg/ ml• activates complement: serum (yes) milk (no)
