-Helper T-cells
-Cellular Immune Response
-release cytokines promoting B-cells differentiating into plasma cells
T-Cells: CD8+
T-Cells: CD8+

-Cytotoxic T-Cells (Regulatory/Suppressive T-Cells)
-destroy body's own cells displaying foreign antigens
B-Cells: Function
B-Cells: Function

-Humoral Immune Response (augment innate/non-specific response)

-Differentiation:
-B-cell --> Plasma Cell: Secrete Antibodies
Antigen Presenting Cells
Antigen Presenting Cells:

*phagocytosis of foreign material, present on surface to B-Cells & T-Cells

-macrophages
-dendritic cells
Antibodies: Protection Mechanisms
Antibodies: Protection Mechanisms:

1.) Inactivation of Antigen
a.) Neutralization - bind & mask
b.) Agglutination - cross-linking of cell bound antigens (picture of IgM gathering many cells w/antigens into glob)
c.) Precipitation - cross-linking soluble antigens

2.) Activation of Complement System
Pathology: HIV
Pathology: HIV

Mechanism:
-destroys T-helper cells (CD4+)

Idiopathic Addison's Disease:

Autoimmune attack of Adrenal Cortex
Pathology: Autoimmune

Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes Mellitus

Autoimmune attack Pancreatic B-Cells
Pathology: Autoimmune

Atrophic Gastritis, Pernicious Anemia
Atrophic Gastritis, Pernicious Anemia

Autoimmune attack on Parietal Cells (intrinsic factor)
Pathology: Autoimmune

Grave's Disease
Grave's Disease:

Autoimmune STIMULATION of Thyroid TSH receptor
-Hyperthyroidism symptoms
Pathology: Autoimmune

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis:

Autoimmune attack on Thyroglobulin
Pathology: Allergies
Allergies:

-B-lymphocytes respond to allergen as antigen, secrete IgE
-Fc (non-variable region) of IgE binds to mast cells
-Allergens recognized by IgE on mast cells
-Mast cells release inflammatory mediators
-Allergic symptoms
Lymph Nodes
Lymph Nodes:

-Lymph dumped into subcapsular sinuses
to
-Cortical sinuses
to
-Medullary sinuses
to
-Leave through Efferent lymph vessels

*Exposed to immune cells here
Spleen
Spleen:

White Part: bunch of lymphocytes
Red Part: bunch of sinusoids

*Has closed circulation (continuous vessels) & open circulation
*Open Circulation
-RBC cemetary
-RBCs dumped into parenchyma have to be flexible to get back into sinusoids, older ones destroyed
