talk about smallpox eradication
|
-discovered by Jenner
Eradicated via vaccine -used volunteer children with cowpox -antigenically close enough -begining of immunology Contrevercial topic: should we keep it in a laboratory officialy eradicated in 1979 See graph on 1/2-2 |
|
Do vaccines work
|
yes....smallpox and diptheria are completely erradicated.......other diseases are around 99% erradicated
|
|
Graves Disease
|
-hyperthyroidism
-Bulging eyes |
|
what do bubble boys lack
|
-they have no immune system becasue they lack Adenosine Geaminase-breaks down purines
can also be an x-linked trait that targets the g-chain of IL molecules The result is a near complete failure of the immune system to develop and function, with low or absent T cells and NK cells and non-functional B cells. |
|
Most important line of defense?
|
skin
|
|
talk about exterior defences
|
1/5-1
|
|
draw primary response vs. secondary response graph
|
1/5-3
|
|
what is the factor for something to be exposed a second time so that the immune system responds better?
|
antigen must be immunologically close enough
|
|
draw clonal selection and describe
|
-Instead of going from 1 to 4, you go from 4 to 40
If it sees an antigen it will expand 1/6-1 |
|
Innate versus adaptive immunity
humoral versus cellular immunity (3 differences between each) antigen and epitope definition |

|
Primary lymphoid tissue
|
where cells form and mature
Thymus-t cells bone marrow- B cells |
|
Secondary Lymphoid Tissue
|
where mature cells interact w pathogens and initiate a response
spleen lymph nodes tonsils |
|
Leukocytes with function
|
Neutrophil: ingest and destroy invaders
Lymphocye and plasma cells (derivative): specific response, Ab production monocyte and macrophage(becomes macrophage once in tissue): Ingest and destroy invaders, Ag presentation Eosinophils: Destroy invaders, particularly Ab-coated parasites- Parasites and allergic response Basophils and mast cells (tissue): Release chemicals that mediate inflammation and allergic response Dendritic cells (not found in blood): recognize pathogens and activate other immune cells by antigen presentation |
|
APC types
|
dendrytic cells
lymphocytes macrophages |
|
cytotoxic cells types
|
eosinophils
some lymphocytes |
|
lymphocyte types
|
B cells> plasma cells (secrete Ab)
T cells > NK cells |
