Lymphocytes
Monocytes
Neutrophils
Multilobed nucleus
Phagocyte at site of infection
Esinophils
Respond to allergies and parasitic worms
Basophils
Histamine containing cells
Cause inflammatory response
Lymphocytes
Nucleus fills most of the cell
Monocytes
Largest WBC
Acts as macrophage
Helps fighting chronic infections
Most common to least common
Neutrophil
Lymphocyte
Monocyte
Esinophils
Basophils
What is Hematopoiesis
Blood cell formation from hemocytoblasts
Types of Hemocytoblasts
Lymphoid
Myeloid
What do Lymphoids produce
Lymphcytes
What do Myeloids produce
All other formed elements in blood
(Neutrophils, Basophils, Esinophils, monocytes, erythrocytes, platelets)
What do Colony Stimulating factors and interluekins stimulate?
generation of leukocytes
What does Thromopioetin stimulate?
production of platlets
Innate Immunity
Nonspecific
Protects against many invaders
Adaptive immunity
Specific defense required for each invader
First line of defense
Body surface coverings
Specialized human cells
Chemicals produced by the body
Specialized Human Cells (1st line)
Phagocytes
NK cells
Inflammatory cell response
Antimicrobial proteins
Inflammatory response
Triggered when cells of body are injured
Indicated by redness, swelling, heat, or pain
Antimicrobial Proteins
Complement proteins
Interferons
Complement
Proteins activated by compliment fixation
Damage foreign cell curface, form pores leading to lyses
Release vasodilation and chemotaxis
Results in opsonization
Interferons
Proteins secreted by virus infected cells
Bind to healthy cells and interfere with viral reproduction
Antigens (3rd Line)
Self and Nonself
Nonself Antigens
any substance capable of exciting the immune system and provoking an immune response.
Self Antigens
Human cells have surface proteins (MCH1) identifying themselves as self
Types of Adaptive Defense
Antigen specific
Systemic
Memory
Antigen Specific
Acts against particular foreign substance
Systemic
Not restricted to initial infection site
Memoty
Recognizes and mounts stronger attack on previously encountered pathogens
Humoral Immunity
Antibody mediated
Performed by antibodies from Bcells
Primarily extracellular
Cellular Immunity
Targets virus infected or cancer cells
Involves Cytotoxic T cells responding to antigen presenting cells
Primarily intracellular
Cells of the Adaptive Immune System
Lymphocytes
Macrophages
Lympohcytes
Respond to specific antigens
There are T and B lymphocytes
Macrophages
Arise from monocytes, help lymphocytes
Secrete cytokines
B-cell binding
Activates lymphocytes to undergo clonal selection, where many clones are produced.
Some clones become memory cells, most become plasma cells (last 4-5 days).
Types of Antibodies
IgG
IgM
IgE
IgA
IgG
Most common
leads to opsonization
can cross placenta
IgM
Involved with the transmembrane of B-cells
First responder
IgE
Involved in parasite control
Responds to allergies and asthma
IgA
Present in mucous (airway and digestive tract)
Found in mothers breast milk
Natural Active immunity
Acquired during bacterial inection
Artificial Active Immunity
Acquired via vaccines (attenuated or live)
Natural Passive immunity
Mother to fetus (protection provided from borrowed antibodies)
Artificial Passive Immunity
Acquired via immune serum of gamma globulin. (protection provided from borrowed antibodies)
MCH1
On all nucleated cells
Displayed to cytotoxic T-cells (CD8)
Identifies as self
MCH2
On phagocytic cells (antigen presenting)
Display to helper T-cells (CD4)
Types of T-cells
Cytotoxic T-cells
Helper T-cells
Regulatory T-cells
Cytotoxic (Killer) T-cells
MCH1 CD8 complex
Specialize in killing infected cells
insert toxic perforins
Helper T-cells
Recruit other cells to help fight
Interact directly with B-cells
MCH2 CD4 complex
Regulatory T-cells
Release chemicals to surpress T and B-cell activity
Stop the immune response to prevent uncontrolled activity
Insect Immunity
Does not involve lymphocytes, immunoglobulins, of antibodies.
Hemolin
Found in insects, similar to immunoglobulins
Cepropins
Found in insects, lyse bacterial cell membranes
Lectins
Found in insects, agglutinating molecules, encase invaders in the material of the exoskeleton.
