ANTIGENS / ADJUVANTS
DEFINITIONS
-Antigens are molecules that elicit an immune response in the body.-Antigens can be:
ProteinsPolysaccharides - sugars such as mannose.Lipoproteins - conjugates of lipids (fats) with proteins.
-Adjuvants are agents that may stimulate the immune system and increase the response to a vaccine, without having any specific antigenic effect on its own.-Adjuvants can be:
OilsAluminum saltsVirosomes

TYPES OF ANTIGENS
EXOGNEOUS ANTIGENS
Antigens that enter the body from the environment
Inhaled Antigens-Proteins on cat hairs-Dust ASTHMA ATTACK-Pollen
Ingested Antigens-Shellfish proteins-Peanuts ALLERGIC RESPONSES
Antigens Introduced Beneath Skin-Splinter-Injected vaccine IMMUNIZATION

TYPES OF ANTIGENS
ENDOGENOUS ANTIGENS
Antigens that are generated within cells of the body
Proteins encoded by the genes of viruses (foreign)
Abnormal or altered proteins
-Encoded by mutant genes(e.g. mutated proteins produced by cancer cells)
![Page 6: IMIN 372 Experiment 3 Immunization and the Immune Response as a Function of Time Dr. James Stafford CW319-A Biological Sciences Building 492-9258 stafford@ualberta.ca.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697c01f1a28abf838cd1954/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
ANTIBODIES
Also referred to as Immunoglobulins (or Ig)
-Proteins produced by plasma cells (activated B-cells).
-One of the major proteins found in the serum.
-Antibodies are used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses.
-Five different classes of antibodies in mammals;-IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM-also subclasses of antibodies; IgG IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4
-Antibodies can be found at mucosal sites and in milk.-Secretory antibodies (IgA and IgM)

Measuring The Antibody Response
Hemagglutingation & Hemolysis
-First observed in the 17th century - -early attempts to perform blood transfusions-
HemagglutinationCross-linking of RBC by antibodies
HemolysisLysis of RBC’s by antibodies and complement

in the absence of cross-linking Abs the SRBCs will eventually settle together into a 'button' in U-shaped wells
x-linking or agglutination spreads out the RBCs

Hemagglutination - Modifications
Can couple (or attach) selected antigens to SRBC surface-useful for antibody screening experiments.
Replace SRBC’s with bacteria
Replace SRBC’s with latex beads covalently bound by antigen.
Coat particles with antibody instead of antigen (Reverse Agglutination)

DILUTION SERIES
Serial dilutions - each successive dilution is derived from previous
e.g. a 2-fold dilution series1 volume buffer is placed in each well, then an equal volume of solution to be diluted is passed in succession down the wells
1/2 1/4 1/8 1/16 1/32 1/64 1/128 1/256 1/512 1/1024 1/2048
originalsolution
The TITRE corresponds to the most dilute concentration at which desired effect is still seen.
Usually the dilution factor is stated - e.g. a titre of 512 ≈ 1/512 dilution
