First Line of Defense

- skin


- mucus


- lysozyme (bacteria/peptidoglycan)


- normal microbiota


- urine flow


- cilia

Second Line of Defense

- phagocytes


- inflammation


- fever


- stomach acid


- natural killer cells


- interferon: viruses


- complement: help immune cells

Third line of defense

- lymphocytes: form memory cells


- humoral immunity: B cells, antibodies


- cell-mediated immunity: T cells

Nonspecific Leukocytes

- Granulocytes: Neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils


- Agranulocytes: Monocytes → Macrophages

Neutrophils

Phagocytosis, most abundant WBC (key component of pus)

Basophils

Histamine, allergy, inflammation

Eosinophils

Parasites, allergy

Natural Killer Cells

Nonspecific lymphocyte


- cancer


- viral infected


Contain Proteins:


- perforin


- granzymes

Perforin

Forms pore (hole in infected cells for granzymes to enter)

Granzymes

Trigger apoptosis

Inflammation

- Damaged cells release histamine, etc.


- increased vasodilation and capillary permeability (redness, heat, swelling, pain)


- phagocytes migrate to site


- Neutrophils then monocytes/macrophages

Monocytes → Macrophages

- secrete cytokines


- engulf invader


- clean up area

Increased Capillary Permeability Problems

- Edema


- Septic Shock

Edema

Local Inflammation


- pulmonary edema in hantavirus

Septic Shock

- systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)


- widespread inflammation

Fever

Macrophages release cytokines (interleukins) that induce fever


Hypothalamus resets body temp


- Chill: vasoconstriction, shiver


- Sweating: vasodilation


Intensify immune response; inhibit growth of microbes

Interferon

Virus-infected cell releases interferon


- stimulates neighbors → antiviral proteins


- prevents viral replication; not virus specific

Complement Blood Proteins ("OIL")

- Opsonization


- Inflammation


- Lysis

Opsonization

- Bind to pathogen → phagocytosis (enhancement of phagocytosis by coating with C3b)

Inflammation

- Cells release histamine


- recruit phagocytes

Lysis

- Bacterial lysis with membrane attack complex

Antigen

antibody generating (anything foreign

Humoral Immunity

- free floating antibodies

Cell-mediated immunity

- infected cell


- cytotoxic T cells

Antigen presenting cell carries...

MHC/Antigen

CD4 Cells

Helper T Cells


Bind to MHC-antigen complex on APC


- Secrete cytokines


- Activate other immune cells

CD8 Cells

Cytotoxic T Cells


Bind to infected cells


- Secretes perforin and granzyme to destroy infected cells

Humoral (antibody) Response

- Defend against bacteria, toxins, and viruses floating freely in blood and lymph


- Activated by antigen and Helper T cells


- Plasma cells make antibodies (immunoglobulins)

Antibodies (Immunoglobulins)


Disable Antigen By:

Protein: antigen specific


Disable antigen by:


- Neutralization (block binding site) of toxins or virus; IgA


- Enhance phagocytosis; IgG


- Activate Complement; IgM, IgG


Antibodies enhance phagocytosis

Neutralization, precipitation, agglutination → Ehance phagocytosis

Clonal Selection

Selection → bacterial cell → clonal expansion → plasma cell → antibody production (after infection, plasma cells apoptosis)

Immune Disorders

- Autoimmune


- Leukemia


- Immunodeficiency


- Hypersensitivity

Autoimmune Disorders


Local:


Systemic:

- local (rheumatoid arthritis)


- systemic (lupus)


- multiple sclerosis

Leukemia

- myeloid lymphocytic

Immunodeficiency


Acquired:


Congenital:

- acquired (AIDS)


- congenital (SCID)

Hypersensitivity

- anaphylaxis


- delayed hypersensitivity


- allergies

Vaccines

- immunological memory


- antibodies prevent attachment

Immunological Memory

- Primary Response


- Secondary Response

Primary Response

- first contact with antigen


- IgM followed by IgG

Secondary Response

- memory cells activated (B and T cells)


- high antibody (IgG) titer

Passive Immunity

Receive preformed antibodies (antitoxin or antivenom)


- mother to fetus


- immunoglobulin serum (infusion of antibodies)


Short-term → no memory and immediate

Active Immunity

Memory cells (T and B lymphocytes)


- Natural active immunity → recover from disease


- Artificial active immunity → vaccine


Longer immunity

Types of Vaccines

- subunit


- whole inactive


- attenuated

Subunit Vaccines

Antigen fragments


- induces antibodies; may need several injections (antitoxins)


- toxoids; bacteria capsules; viral capsid/spike (DPT)

Whole Inactive Vaccine

Whole bacteria or viruses


- heat or chemically killed. stable.


- less effective → need booster but no risk

Attenuated Vaccine

Live, weakened microbes


- mimic infection: life long immunity (strongest immune response but may revert)


- Edward Jenner smallpox and cowpox


- Concern: possible reversion to virulent form

Louis Paster

Attenuated Rabies Vaccine

Polio Vaccine

Salk: inactive


Sabin: attenuated

Herd Immunity

Best defense against viral infections
