Immunology
• We have specific and a non-specific response sytems
• Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis.
• Specific = Immune system and antibodies
![Page 2: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Phagocytosis – using Lytic Enzymes (hydrolysis)
Absorption
![Page 3: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Role of Histamine
• Histamine is a hormone which is released at a damaged site
• Inflammation causes dilation of blood vessels
• More phagocytes are delivered to the damaged area.

The Specific Response
• Slower than the Non-Specific• Longer lasting• Responds to ANTIGENS
- Proteins/Glycoproteins (see cell membrane notes) on the cell surface membrane which trigger an immune response.
• Utilises white blood cells-LYMPHOCYTES (B and T Lymphocytes)

B Lymphocytes – from stem cells in bone marrow
![Page 6: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
T Lymphocytes
Made in the Thymus Gland.
![Page 7: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Two types of Specific Immunity
• Cell-Mediated Response (uses T Lymphocytes)
• Humoral Response (uses B Lymphocytes)
![Page 8: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cell Mediated Response.
• This is a response that occurs when our cells have been infected – e.g. by a virus
• Infected cells (and macrophages) display the foreign antigens on their cell surface membrane
• One of our many T-helper cells will be complementary to these antigens
![Page 9: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The T-helper cells stimulate the cloning of cytotoxic T cells
Complementary shapes Antigen of pathogen
Chemicals are released which cause MITOSIS of the correct cytotoxic T cells
![Page 10: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mitosis of T cells
Stimulated by the T-helper cells
Cloning of Killer T cells
![Page 11: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How T cells protect us
• They kill infected cells by producing a protein which destroys the cell membrane
• They stimulate Phagocytes
• They stimulate B cells to divide
• They form T memory cells
![Page 12: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

The Humoral Response
• This process involves B Lymphocytes and the production of antibodies
• It begins in the same way as the cell-mediated response.

Complementary shapes
Antigen of pathogen
Chemicals are released which cause MITOSIS of the correct cytotoxic T cells
AND B CELLS
B Cell cloning occurs by mitosis
B Cell
Antigen of pathogen
Cytokines released by T helper cells
This cell could be a B cell or a macrophage

B Cells
• Cloned B Cells can form PLASMA CELLS or MEMORY CELLS
• Plasma Cells – produce Antibodies
![Page 16: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Antigen presenting by B cell or macrophage
Cloning/Mitosis
Complementary B cell
Produces antibodies
Complementary T-helper cells will release chemicals to stimulate mitosis
![Page 17: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
B Memory Cells• Stay in our tissues for many years.
• They carry out mitosis immediately upon contact with the complementary antigen
• A very quick, secondary response
• We do not become ill
• The same process with T memory cells
![Page 18: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
So, how do vaccines work?
![Page 19: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Antibodies
![Page 22: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Definition of antibody
• An immunoglobulin protein that is produced by B plasma cells in response to non-self antigens.
![Page 23: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Antigen-Antibody Complex
• The antibodies attach to the antigen on the pathogen and destroy it.
MUST be a Complementary variable
region!

Why do we get flu more than once?
• Antigenic Variability!
• Some antigens constantly change (mutation)
• Memory cells are no longer complementary
• The Primary Response is initiated instead of the secondary response.
![Page 26: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Pathogens have many antigens
• So we produce many different types of antibody – POLYCLONAL antibodies
• Scientists can clone antibodies in the laboratory
• They can clone just one kind at a time
• These are MONOCLONAL antibodies
![Page 27: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Monoclonal Antibodies
• These antibodies are complementary to a specific protein.
• Can be used to mark and identify proteins in blood or urine
• E.g. in Pregnancy tests, or drug tests in athletes
![Page 28: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Uses in cancer treatment
• Cancer cells will present antigens on their surface membrane
• Specific monoclonal antibodies will attach to these cells and can activate a cytotoxic drug to kill the cell.
![Page 29: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Uses in Transplant Surgery
• Transplanted organs often suffer rejection from the action of our T Cells
• Monoclonal antibodies can attach to and “knock out” these T Cells.
![Page 30: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Other use
• The monoclonal antibody can be used to label and separate a chemical in a mixture.
• Read pages 110-111 and discuss the ethical issues associated with monoclonal antibodies, and how society uses scientific knowledge to inform decision-making.
![Page 31: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Vaccines• You should now understand how
vaccines work.
But what makes a successful vaccine?
![Page 32: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
A Successful Vaccination Programme
• Must be economically viable to produce enough for a vulnerable population
• Have few side-effects
• Easy to store and transport
• Trained staff must be available
• It must be possible to carry out HERD IMMUNITY i.e. to immunise a total population
![Page 33: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Evaluating vaccines
• They may not eliminate a disease because...
- Individuals may have a poor immune system
- Disease may spread BEFORE the vaccine has produced the required memory cells
- The pathogen could mutate
- There may be too many antigens on the pathogen (e.g. cold virus / HIV)
- People may object –e.g Religion, MMR
![Page 34: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Cholera and TB Vaccine Evaluation• Cholera has high antigenic variability
• Populations are now more mobile so diseases spread much more easily
• HIV cases have risen so more people get TB
• Poverty and wars create overcrowded conditions so TB cases have risen
• More elderly people so more TB.
![Page 35: Immunology We have specific and a non-specific response sytems Non-Specific = barriers, like skin and mucus, HCl in the stomach, and phagocytosis. Specific.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc5508/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
