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)
|
|

|
On all nucleated cells

|
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.
|
|
