The Immune SystemThe Immune System
• Immunity: the body’s specific protective response to invading foreign agent or organism
• Immunopathology: the study of diseases that result from dysfunction of the immune system
• Immune disorders: see Table 50-1
– Automimmunity
– Hypersensitivty
– Gammopathies
– Immune deficiencies: primary and secondary

LymphocytesLymphocytes• B lymphocytes mature in the bone marrow; T
lymphocytes mature in the thymus where they also differentiate into cells with various functions

Immune FunctionImmune Function• Natural immunity: nonspecific response to any foreign
invader
– White blood cell action: release cell mediators such as histamine, bradykinin, and prostaglandins, and engulf (phagocytize) foreign substances
– Inflammatory response
– Physical barriers, such as intact skin, chemical barriers, and acidic gastric secretions or enzymes in tears and saliva
• Acquired immunity: specific against a foreign antigen
– Result of prior exposure to an antigen
– Active or passive

DefensesDefenses
• Phagocytic immune response
• Humoral or antibody response
• Cellular immune response

Role of AntibodiesRole of Antibodies
• Agglutination of antigens
• Opsonization
• Promote release of vasoactive substances; activation of complement system and phagocytosis
• Act in concert with other components of the immune system
• Types of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE,IgG, and IgM

Cellular Immune ResponseCellular Immune Response
• B lymphocytes: humoral immunity
– Produce antibodies or immunoglobulins
• T lymphocytes: cellular immunity
– Attack invaders directly, secrete cytokines, and stimulate immune system responses
– Helper T cells
– Cytotoxic T cells
– Memory cells
– Suppressor T cells (suppress immune response)

Non-T and Non-B Lymphocytes Involved in Immune Response Non-T and Non-B Lymphocytes Involved in Immune Response
• Null cells
– Destroy antigen coated with antibody
• Natural killer cells
– Defend against microorganisms and some malignant cells
