AND the IMMUNE SYSTEM
12 .5.14 FA. Rantam, Virol & Immunol. 2014
Immune System : 2 branches
The Innate Immune system =
a general response to anything other than
recognized self cells

The Adaptive Immune System =
a specific counter-assault against a known
foreign invader [previously recognized]
12 .5.14 FA. Rantam, Virol & Immunol. 2014
Major Concepts -
What Happens during an infection ?

How can immune cells distinguish foreign
invaders from our own cells ?

How can we make 100,000,000 different
antibodies with only 30,000 genes ?

12 .5.14 FA. Rantam, Virol & Immunol. 2014
What Happens during an infection?
Innate Immunity -
the troops are called to battle
injury & infection
macrophages slip between cells [extravasation] to
arrive
cytokine chemicals attract other troops
[chemotaxis]
histamine chemicals dilate blood vessels for easier
access to injury [vasodilation]

ingest small foreign invaders
neutrophils

Summary:
Macrophages are able to launch the first
strike
more help is needed to overcome rapidly
reproducing invaders
Help from the ADAPTIVE IMMUNE System
results in a coordinated successful
defense !
Major players . . . the B lymphocytes

12 .5.14 FA. Rantam, Virol & Immunol. 2014
How can antibodies distinguish our
self from foreign invaders?
Adaptive Immune System - function

There are 2 types of lymphocytes:
T lymphocytes [ T - Helper cells ] - help
signal immune cells into action

B lymphocytes [ B cells ] - make special
proteins called antibodies

12 .5.14 FA. Rantam, Virol & Immunol. 2014
How can antibodies distinguish
selfcells from foreign invaders?
Adaptive Immune System - origin

There are 2 types of lymphocytes:

1st Type -
T lymphocytes -
[ T - Helper cells ]
begin in the
red bone marrow

These Lymphocytes are
sorted into 2 types

Identification tag is a
protein called Major
Histocompatability
Complex [MHC]

These Lymphocytes will mature into
T-Helper cells

They function to stimulate B cells to
activate their attack against the invaders
12 .5.14 FA. Rantam, Virol & Immunol. 2014
Adaptive Immune System
The 2nd type of lymphocyte is:

B lymphocytes [ B cells] - start in the bone
marrow and circulate through the body

they are called into action when stimulated by
a foreign antigen. . . [ usually a protein from
the invader]

12 .5.14 FA. Rantam, Virol & Immunol. 2014
When an invader attacks. . .
An antigen is phagocytized by the B cell
is broken into non-infective pieces
& attached to the cells MHC when processed
through the cells machinery
MHC-antigen complex is placed on the cell
membrane surface
where it is recognized by the T Helper cell

How can we make 100,000,000 different
antibodies with only 30,000 genes?
Problem:
microorganisms easily out-number the total number
of genes on the human genome
if only one gene was responsible for coding for one
antibody, there still wouldnt be enough information
to use

Question:
How can such a small amount of information
be used for successful antibody diversity ?

12 .5.14 FA. Rantam, Virol & Immunol. 2014
Consider the following . . .
What is true about the different cells of the body?

Which Statement is most correct ?
a All cells in the body are the same and function the
same way
b All cells are the same, but function differently
because they are located in different places
c All cells have the same genetic material, but different
cells use different active genes to make them
function differently
Does this same principle apply to antibodies ?
12 .5.14 FA. Rantam, Virol & Immunol. 2014
The correct answer is . . .
c All cells have the same genetic material, but
different cells use different active genes to make
them function differently

Summary
What Happens during an infection ?

The immune system activates a multitude of
characters to defend the body in a variety of
ways.

Several players work together, feedback
systems enhance or suppress functions as
changes occur


12 .5.14 FA. Rantam, Virol & Immunol. 2014
Summary
How can immune cells distinguish foreign
invaders from our own cells ?

By using the invaders own antigen, immune
cells can be produced for specific organisms &
used to enhance the defense effort

[ as long as the invading organism is the
only target ! ]





12 .5.14 FA. Rantam, Virol & Immunol. 2014
Summary
How can we make 100,000,000 different
antibodies with only 30,000 genes ?
Mixing & matching pieces of genetic material
produce huge numbers of antibody, as well as
very specific antibody

The immune system is well equiped to
defend the human body against the daily
onslaught of microorganisms . . . If
everything goes as planned . . .
