• The bone marrow hemopoietic stem cells are the ultimate origin of :
erythrocytes all leucocytes including the lymphocytes.
• Many lymphocytes pass through the thymus when they become processed by humoral microenvironment prior to release.
![Page 5: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• These lymphocytes are now called thymus-derived lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes or T-cells.
• The majority of the bone marrow derived lymphocytes which do not enter or become processed by the thymus are called B-cells.

Cells of the Immune system
![Page 9: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Lymphocytes
• Lymphocytes are mononuclear, non granular.• Found in blood, spleen, lymph node, tonsil.• They are spherical or ovoid in shape.• They arise from pluripotential haemopoietic stem cells.• They are important in both humoral and cell-mediated
immunity• Types of lymphocytes:1. B lymphocytes2. T lymphocytes3. Null cells
![Page 10: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
B lymphocytes /B cells
• Mature in bone marrow • Are mononuclear and non granular• Have a large nucleus• Found in blood and lymph• Highly concentrated in lymph nodes and spleen.• Contain immunoglobulin on their surfaces.• Immature B cells changes to mature B cells which
has IgD and IgM.• B-cells produce antibodies brings about humoral
immunity
![Page 11: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Protection by B cells
• When bacteria, virus and toxins stimulate B cells,• B cells divide rapidly and forms two types of cells1. Plasma cells- secrete antibodies in response
to specific antigens- Primary response2. B memory cells• move from blood to lymph • Survive for longer time• respond quickly and effectively during similar
subsequent infection• Produce antibodies - secondary response
![Page 12: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
T Lymphocytes/ T- cells
• Derived from haemopoietic stem cells of bone marrow• mononuclear, non-granular leucocytes that matures in
thymus• They become functional on exposure to antigen• Brings about cell mediated immunity.• Types of T cells:1. T helper cells ( TH cells)
2. T suppressor cells T ( TS cells)3. T cytotoxic cells ( TC cells)4. T delayed type hypersensitivity cells ( TD cells)
![Page 13: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
T helper cells ( TH cells)
• Regulator cells• T helper cells get activated by very small quantities of
antigens which cannot activate other cells.• Helper T cells: release interleukin-2 which in turn triggers
the release of other cytokines.Cytokines: any soluble factor secreted that act as a signal
to other lymphoid cells. There are two categories:-1. Lymphokines: secreted by lymphocytes2. Monokines: secreted by macrophages
Certain cytokines like interferon and interleukins are secreted by both lymphocytes and macrophages
![Page 14: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Lymphokines increase the response of B cells, T killer cells and T suppressor cells.
• B cells are activated to produce antibodies.• Another type of Lymphokines secreted by
helper cells called macrophage migration inhibition factors which cause the accumulation of macrophages around the antigen and activation of macrophages to perform phagocytosis.
![Page 15: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
T Suppressor Cells (TS cells)
• Suppress the activity of B cells and other T cells.
• Are the regulatory T cells.• They inhibit antibody production by B cells.• They suppress the function of the T killer and
T helper cells.• Suppressor T cells are responsible for immune
tolerance by limiting the ability of the immune system to attack a person’s own body tissues.
![Page 16: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Cytotoxic T cells ( Tc) or T killer cells (Tk)– recognizes the foreign antigen on the surface of
virus infected cells and destroy the cells releasing cytolytic protein.
– Cytotoxic substances are probably lysosomal enzymes manufactured in the Tc cells.– Cytotoxic T cells (Tc) are lethal to tissue cells that
have been invaded by viruses.– The virus particles entrapped in membranes of
infected cells attract T cells because of viral antigenicity and Tc cells ultimately damage the virus infected tissue cells.
![Page 17: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Also play important role in destroying cancer cells, heart transplant cells or other types of cells that are foreign to the persons own body.
![Page 18: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
T Delayed Type Hypersensitivity cells (TD)• Brings macrophages to areas where delayed
hypersensitivity reaction occur.• TD similar to TH cells.• TD secrete primarily macrophage chemotoxin
and macrophage migration inhibition factor.• By secreting these lymphokines the TD cells
are directly involved in the delayed hypersensitivity reaction.
![Page 19: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Plasma Cell
–Fully differentiated B cells.–Do not divide and have a half life of about
2-4 days.–Found rarely in plasma of blood but are
found in lymph nodes and spleen.– secretes Antibodies (immunoglobulins)
![Page 20: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Null Cells
• Are lymphocytes with cytotoxic properties.• Neither B cells nor T cells but intermediate.• Two kinds:1. Natural Killer cells and2. Killer cells
![Page 21: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Natural Killer cells
– Have 2 or 3 large granules in the cytoplasm– Have kidney shaped nucleus– Kills cells infected with certain viruses
– Kill the target cells without the aid of antibody and complement - antibody independent.
– Destroy the cancer cells and cells infected with herpes and mumps virus.
– Don’t need antibody– Activated by interferon and interleukin
– Both innate and adaptive
![Page 22: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Killer cells ( K cells)• Are antibody dependent.• Depends on the presence of bound antibody, • thus reaction is termed- antibody-dependent
cell- mediated cytotoxic reaction.• K cells can kill a variety of cells such as tumor
cells, bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.
![Page 23: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Monocytes/Macrophage
• Are large, mononuclear phagocytic cells derived from monocyte.• Have large nucleus and contain a large number of lysosomes• Strongly phagocytic to a wide variety of particulate materials such as
microorganisms, dead cells, effete cells, debris, immune complex.
• Phagocytosis and killing of microorganisms
![Page 24: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Activation of T cells and initiation of immune response.• Involved in the processing of antigen before
they are presented to the T and B cells. Macrophages are important secretary cells-
secrete substances such as components of complement system, hydrolytic enzymes, toxic forms of oxygen and monokines.
• Monocyte is a young macrophage in blood
![Page 25: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Dendritic Cells• Activation of T cells and initiate adaptive
immunity• Found mainly in lymphoid tissue• Function as antigen presenting cells (APC)• Most potent stimulator of T-cell response
![Page 26: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Mast Cells
• Large cells with basophilic granules in the cytoplasm.
• Mast cells are similar to basophils of the blood, in appearance and functions.
• Expulsion of parasites through release of granules.• Release substances like serotonin, histamine,
heparin, platelet activating factors, leukotrines and prostaglandins which brings about inflammatory and allergic reactions.
![Page 27: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Neutrophil
• Granulocyte–Cytoplasmic granules
• Polymorphonuclear• Short life span (hours)• Phagocytosis• Very important at “clearing” bacterial
infections• Innate Immunity
![Page 28: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Eosinophils• Double Lobed nucleus• Granules are rich in hydrolytic
enzymes.
• Kills Ab-coated parasites through degranulation.
Involved in allergic inflammation
• Orange granules contain toxic compounds
![Page 29: Anatomy and Components of Immune System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816584550346895dd82d3c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Basophils• Might be “blood Mast cells’• A cell-killing cells• Blue granules contain toxic and inflammatory compounds.• Important in allergic reactions.• The basophilic granules are believed to contain
heparin, histamine, serotonin, platelet activating factor and other vasoactive amines that may be released at the sire of inflammation or region of immediate hypersensitivity reaction.
