Immunoglobulins , Cytokines, and Complement system:Immunoglobulins (Ig):
Immunoglobulins are Gamma globulins (proteins) of
defined specificity for different epitopes that make up
antigens.
Immunoglobulins are produced by plasma cells.
Immunoglobulins are divided into five classes: -Three major classes ( IgG, IgM, IgA).-Two minor classes (IgD and IgE).

Basic structure of Immunoglobulin:
The immunoglobulin molecule consists of four
polypeptides : two heavy (H) and two light( L) chains
fastened together by disulfide bonds.
Heavy chains are designated by using of Greek letters (μ,
γ, α, δ, and Є), and the immunoglobulins produced are
IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD, and IgE, respectively.
Each immunoglobulin isotype carry one type of light chain
(kappa and lambda).

-Heavy chains consist of two different domains ( constant, and variable chains).-Light chains also have two different domains ( constant ,and variable).
-The flexibility of Ig is associated with the presence of Hinge region ( a Proline-rich region).

Analysis of Immunoglobulin by Enzyme cleavage:
-A light chain variable domain and a heavy chain variable domain together form a pocket that constitutes the antigen-binding region (Fab).
-Two Fab fragments (Fab) and one Fc fragment are produced by papain cleavage.
-Only one fragment ( F(ab)2 ) is produced by pepsin
Cleavage.-Disulfide bonds are reduced by reducing agent (Beta-mercaptoethanol).

Immunoglobulin isotypes:
Immunoglobulin G: (IgG):-IgG accounts for approximately 75-85% of the total serum Ig-It is the most abundant antibody produced during secondary humoral immune response.
-Monovalent affinity.
-Within IgG isotype, the relative concentrations of the four subclasses are: IgG1 : 60-70% IgG3: 4-85% IgG2: 14-20% IgG4: 2-6%
-It is the only class that can cross the placenta.

Molecules of Cellular Interaction:
Cytokines: are low-molecular weight soluble protein messengers that are involved in :
1-Cellular interaction ; inflammatory response due to
innate and adaptive immunity.
2-Cellular growth and differentiation, and repair mechanism.
-Cytokines are produced by a wide variety of immune and
non-
immune somatic cells.
-Cytokines produced by lymphocytes are known as
Lymphokines.

The Complement system:
Complement system is a series of soluble circulating
enzymes and proteins that function in both innate and
adaptive immune response against pathogens.
The process of complement activation could be initiated via:
1-Alternative pathway.
2-Mannan-binding lectin pathway.
3-Classical pathway.
![Page 20: Immunoglobulins , Cytokines, and Complement system:](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56812e87550346895d942aa8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Alternative pathway:
-The initial activation of the alternate pathway is
mediated by Properdin factor B binding to C3b.
- Properdin factor D splits factor B in the
complex yielding the Bb active fragment that remains
linked to C3b.
-C3 convertase will activate C3b production.
-C3b crosslink the complex to produce C5 convertase.
-Activation of MAC.

Classical pathway of Complement activation:
-Activation of C1: 1-Ag-Ab enables C1q binding. 2-Activation of serine proteases C1r and C1s. 3-C1qrs complex has enzymatic activity for C2, and C4.
-Production of C3 convertase: 1-C4b2b will be produced. 2-C4a, and C2a fragments will be released.-Production of C5 convertase: 1-C4b2b3b complex formation. 2-C5b production, and MAC activation.
