Vaccination
A process of induction of immunity to a pathogen bydeliberate injection of a weaken, modified or related form of
the pathogen which is no longer pathogenic.
![Page 9: Dr. Fang-Ping Huang Department of Pathology,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546640b7b4af9f583f8b529c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

The bursa of Fabricius in birds
![Page 17: Dr. Fang-Ping Huang Department of Pathology,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546640b7b4af9f583f8b529c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cells, tissues and organs of the immune system
• Immune cells are bone marrow-derived, & distributed through out the body
• Primary lymphoid organs: – Thymus: T cell maturation – Bone marrow (bursa of Fabricius in birds): B cell maturation
• Secondary lymphoid organs: – Lymph nodes– Spleen– Mucosal lymphoid tissues (lung, gut)
![Page 18: Dr. Fang-Ping Huang Department of Pathology,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546640b7b4af9f583f8b529c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Questions:
• How may vaccines protect us from infections?
• What may actually occur in our immune system following a vaccination?
![Page 19: Dr. Fang-Ping Huang Department of Pathology,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546640b7b4af9f583f8b529c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Types of immunity
• Innate (natural) immunity– Phagocytes etc.– Early, rapid responses, but limited & ‘non-specifc’
• Adaptive (acquired) immunity– Lymphocytes (B & T cells)– Take time but powerful - ‘specificity + memory’
![Page 20: Dr. Fang-Ping Huang Department of Pathology,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546640b7b4af9f583f8b529c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Immunological memory
• The ability of the immune system to respond more rapidly and effectively to specific pathogens that have been encountered previously.
• Reflection of the pre-existence of a clonally expanded population (pool) of antigen specific lymphocytes.
![Page 31: Dr. Fang-Ping Huang Department of Pathology,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546640b7b4af9f583f8b529c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Humoral immune responses – B cells and antibodies
• Cell mediated immune responses– Cytotoxic T cell (Tc)– Helper T cells (TH)
The adaptive immune mechanisms
![Page 32: Dr. Fang-Ping Huang Department of Pathology,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546640b7b4af9f583f8b529c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Immune Recognition Molecules of the Adaptive Immune System
1. Immunoglobulin (Ig)- B Cell Receptor (BCR)- Antibody (Ab)
2. T Cell Receptor (TCR)
3. Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)
![Page 33: Dr. Fang-Ping Huang Department of Pathology,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546640b7b4af9f583f8b529c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
B Cells
work chiefly by secreting soluble substances known as antibodies (Ab)
![Page 34: Dr. Fang-Ping Huang Department of Pathology,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546640b7b4af9f583f8b529c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

• Neutralization: e.g. toxins, viruses
• Opsonization: bind pathogens for recognition by other immune cells (e.g. phagocytes)

Immunological tolerance
• A state of unresponsiveness to a particular Ag - Ag specific
– to Ags derived from body’s own tissues/cells - self tolerance– to pathogen-derived/foreign Ags
![Page 44: Dr. Fang-Ping Huang Department of Pathology,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546640b7b4af9f583f8b529c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The concepts of immunological ‘self’ & ‘non-self’
• Immune system does not attack self tissues or cells under normal condition, but how?
– Central tolerance – “thymic education”
– Peripheral tolerance – failed-safe mechanisms
![Page 45: Dr. Fang-Ping Huang Department of Pathology,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546640b7b4af9f583f8b529c/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• Early in life (foetal stage)
• T cells are important, which develop in the thymus
• TCR specificities: randomly generated many auto-reactive
• T cells recognize self components (Ag) in the thymus removed
• Non-self reactive cells selected, matured & exported
Central tolerance– “thymic education”
![Page 46: Dr. Fang-Ping Huang Department of Pathology,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546640b7b4af9f583f8b529c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• Post-thymic “continuing education”• not all self Ags present in the thymus• some auto-reactive cells can escape
• Mechanisms:• Deletion• Inactivation (anergy)• Suppression
Peripheral tolerance
![Page 47: Dr. Fang-Ping Huang Department of Pathology,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546640b7b4af9f583f8b529c/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Does the immune system mount responses simply to anything that is “non-self”?
A question for thoughts:
![Page 48: Dr. Fang-Ping Huang Department of Pathology,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546640b7b4af9f583f8b529c/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Immunity:• Innate (natural)• Adaptive (acquired)
• Humoral (B cells, Abs)• Cellular (T, NK, MQ)
The adaptive immunity:• Key features: specificity & memory• Types: humoral & cell-mediated responses• Key players: T & B lymphocytes• TH cells play a central role in the induction & maintenance of immune responses
Principle of vaccination:• Vaccination protects us from infection by inducing protective immunity, through
establishment of specific immunological memory but bypassing the need for primary infection
Immunological tolerance:• Tolerance induction is Ag specific • Central & peripheral mechanisms
