    example skin, chemicals in the blood and immune system cells that fight off foreign cells in the body. The innate immune response is activated by chemical properties of the antigen. Late immune response refers to adaptive immunity, which is an antigen specific immune response. The adaptive immune response is more complex that the innate. The antigen first must be processed and recognized. Once an antigen has been recognized,…

    tract, there must be a method by which the immune system is suppressed in order to prevent potentially harmful immune responses resulting from encountering these antigens. It is thought that intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) regulate innate and adaptive immune responses, and because there is one IEL per ten intestinal epithelial cells, suppression of the immune system occurs frequently in the gut – in particular, the mesenteric lymph nodes. Microbiota in the gut also induce accumulation of T…

    macropinocytosis, and destructs the pathogen either by forming a phagolysosomes or secretion of soluble factors. Then, phagocytes recruit and activate other immune cells, such as T cells and B cells by secreting cytokines and chemokines. This is when the adaptive immune response takes place. CD8 T cells differentiates…

    The etiology and pathogenesis of RA are complex and multifaceted. A range of predetermined (genes) and stochastic (random events and environment) factors contribute to susceptibility and pathogenesis.(kelly). The initiation of RA probably begins years before the onset of clinical symptoms. This process involves certain specific genes that can help break tolerance and lead to autoreactivity. It is likely that the earliest phases are marked by repeated activation of innate immunity Cigarette smoke…

    The immune system is a host defense mechanism that involves a complex collection of molecules, cells, and tissue. The primary function of the immune system is responsible for recognizing and differentiating between harmful and none harmful microbes in the human body. When a human is resistant to a certain disease, that human is known to be immune. The term used to describe an immune individual is referred to as immunity. The primary function of immunity is to become resistant to certain…

    Immunity can be defined as the “ability to fight off diseases” (MPITB, 2014). An innate immunity means defenses against any pathogen. Adaptive immunity means there’s resistance to a specific pathogen. Innate immunity is also known as nonspecific immunity. It uses the body’s own immune system for defense. Skin that is unbroken or intact is the body’s first line of defense against pathogens. The body’s own natural microbiota or flora is a secondary defense system. Our body’s second line of…

    may lead to upregulation or suppression of genes which control inflammatory responses and other transcriptional activities. These events may lead increase or decrease of cytokine production, proliferation, and survival, while others lead to greater adaptive immunity. If the ligand is from a bacterial factor, the pathogen might be phagocytosed and digested. If it’s a viral factor the infected cell may undergo…

    There are four types of acquired immunity of which are characterized by being natural or artificial, as well as active or passive. Natural is a result of normal environmental exposure where artificial is due to medical involvement. Active means that an immune response occurred in an individual, including antibody production where passive occurs from the deliverance of preformed antibodies. 1. Naturally acquired active immunity occurs when an individual is exposed to a live pathogen of which…

    4.1.5.Cytokine and Chemokine in inflammation: Many multifunctional cytokines are present in exocytosis of mast cells which play important roles in late- phase inflammatory response. The mast cell is a source of cytokines such as IL-1, -2, -4, -5, -6, TNF-α (85). IL-1 functions to grow T-helper cells and B cells with its proliferation whereas IL-2 influences the proliferation of T lymphocytes and activation of B lymphocytes. IL-4 helps to differentiate B lymphocytes into plasma cells secret IgE.…
