4 sources that can stimulate an immune response
|
1. Pathogens
2. Cell Damage 3. Genetic Mutation 4. Auto-immunity |
|
granulocytes
|
neutrophils
eosinophils/basophils -12-72 hr lifespan |
|
agranulocytes
|
monocytes
lymphocytes -100-300 day lifespan |
|
serves as an early warning sign, washes through ISF
|
Lymphatic system
|
|
a central tissue, where a lot of WBCs are made
|
Bone marrow
|
|
a central tissue: take raw lymphocytes and turn a small % into T lymphocytes
|
Thymus gland
|
|
non specific barriers (5)
|
Skin
Respiratory GI tract Protective secretions (tears, sweat) w/ lysozyme Lymph nodes- w/ WBCs |
|
chemical signals sent by infected cells
-most commonly from viral -provide short term immunity to surrounding cells |
Interferons
|
|
chemical signal
-ups probability of WBC finding pathogen |
Cytokines
|
|
Movement of WBCs toward cytokine
|
Chemotaxis
|
|
when WBCs attack a pathogen they secrete this fever producing mechnism
|
Endogenous pyrogens
|
|
Neutrophil takes antigen from pathogen and makes it part of it's membrane
-present the antigen to T lymphocyte |
Antigen Presenting cells
|
|
cell mediated immunity
|
T cells
destroy pathogen, clean up -lose at numbers game |
|
type of T cell
-kill pathogen , directly attack specific antigen, attack membrane and DNA |
Cytotoxic/Killer T cells
|
|
Type of T cell
-work like APCs, activate both T & B cells -targeted by AIDS |
Helper T cells
|
|
type of T cell
-inhibit killer T cells& B cells -loss can lead to auto-immune |
Suppressor T cells
|
|
Type of T cells
-recognize the return of the pathogen so APCs wont be needed |
Memory T cells
|
|
Humoral Immunity
|
antibody mediated, Bcells
kill pathogens with number adv but cant clean up |
|
B lymphocyte type
-secrete specific antibodies -2,000/sec |
Plasma B cells
|
|
Type of B lymphocyte
-similar to memory T cells |
memory B cells
|
|
result of humoral immunity
=have specific antigen binding sites -mark pathogen by binging to them |
Antibody
|
|
Ways antibodies fight off infection (3)
|
1. Neutralization
2. Phagocytosis 3. activate complement system |
|
activated by antibodies, punches holes in membrane causing cell to burst
|
Complement system
|
|
goals of pharmaceutical interventions (4)
|
1. destroy pathogen
2 stop replication 3. prevent cell infection 4. prepare immune system |
|
external disease prevention, destroys both living and nonliving
|
Antimicrobials
-soap, bleach, alcohol |
|
Vaccination goals (4)
|
1. earlier lymphocyte activity
2. faster lymp activation 3. higher # total lymp 4. increase antibody production |
|
primary response vs. secondary
|
second is faster and larger
|
|
weakened or destroyed pathogens, but respond to antigen
initiates primary response creates memory t/b cells long lasting |
Active immunization
|
|
antibodies from donor (was actively immunized)
short term |
Passive immunization
|
|
shot w/ antibodies
|
artificial passive
|
|
breastfeeding, pass antibodies
|
natural passive
|
|
Kill bacteria by:
-destroying plasma memb -disrupting protein synthesis |
Bactericide
|
|
prevent replication of bacteria by:
prevent rep related protein syn prevent folic acid form |
Bacteriostatic
|
|
Antiviral goals (3)
|
1. prevent cell infection
2. prevent viral rep 3. prevent viral escape |
