IMMUNITY
|
PROTECTION AGAINST DISEASE
|
|
|
IMMUNOLOGY
|
BRANCH OF MICROBIOLOGY THAT DEAL WITH IT. THE STUDY OF IMMUNITY.
|
|
|
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
|
-PROTECTION
-USED AS A TOOL IN MEDICINE eg. VACCINE |
|
|
WHY IMMUNOLOGY IS COMPLICATED
|
-ALL MICROBES CAUSES DISEASES
-ATTACKING FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES, AND EACH REQUIRE A DIFFERENT FORM OF TREATMENT -CONTROL OF A KILLING MACHINE - it is designed to kill microbes, therefore it has to be tightly controlled making it complcated. |
|
|
NONSPECIFIC IMMUNITY
|
-FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE
-STOPS MOST POTENTIAL PATHOGENS -INVOLVES VARIOUS BARRIERS eg: SKIN, STOMACH ACID, MUCOUS MEMBRANE IN INTESTINES |
|
|
SPECIFIC IMMUNITY
|
-USUALLY FUNCTION WHEN ORGANISM GET PAST NONSPECIFIC DEFENSES
-RECOGITION - recognised and responds to each microbes SPECIFICALLY -MEMORY - Involves antibodies and certain cells "B' and "T" cells |
|
|
HUMORAL IMMUNITY
|
-ANTIBODIES (marker, tag)
-"B" CELLS |
|
|
CELLULAR IMMUNITY
|
-T - CELLS
|
|
|
SELF/NONSELF RECOGNITION
|
YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM RECOGNISES EVERYTHING AND IS ABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE ANTIGENS FROM YOUR what it has marked with MHC marker and attacks it
|
|
|
IMMUNE DISORDERS:
AUTOIMMUNITY |
- YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS ATTACKING YOU
-eg LUPUS AND RA |
|
|
IMMUNE DISORDERS:
HYPERSENSITIVITY |
ALLERGIES
-YOUR BODY REPOSPONDING TO SOMETHING HARMLESS eg: EGG, PEANUTS, POLLENS, DUST MITES. MILK etc |
|
|
