Body DefensesBody Defenses

Slide 12.15a


The body is constantly in contact with bacteria, fungi, and viruses (pathogens)

The body has two defense systems for foreign materials

Nonspecific defense system

Mechanisms protect against a variety of invaders

Responds immediately to protect body from foreign materials

Body DefensesBody Defenses

Slide 12.15b


Specific defense system

Specific defense is required for each type of invader

Also known as the immune system

Complement A group of at

least 20 plasma proteins

Activated when they encounter and attach to cells (complement fixation) Figure 12.8


Slide 12.22b


Complement (continued)

Damage foreign cell surfaces

Will rupture or lyse the foreign cell membrane

Figure 12.8


Slide 12.22c


Interferon

Secreted proteins of virus-infected cells

Bind to healthy cell surfaces to inhibit viruses binding

Interferons are a family species-specific proteins synthesized by eukaryotic cells in response to viruses and a variety of natural and synthetic stimuli. There are several different interferons commonly used as therapeutics, termed alpha, beta, and gamma. These peptides are used to treat hairy cell leukemia, AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, laryngeal papillomatosis, genital warts, and chronic granulomatous disease. Side effects include black tarry stools, blood in the urine, confusion, and loss of balance.

FeverFever

Slide 12.23


Abnormally high body temperature

Hypothalmus heat regulation can be reset by pyrogens (secreted by white blood cells)

High temperatures inhibit the release of iron and zinc from liver and spleen needed by bacteria

Fever also increases the speed of tissue repair

Specific Defense: The Immune Specific Defense: The Immune System – Third Line of DefenseSystem – Third Line of Defense

Slide 12.24


Antigen specific – recognizes and acts against particular foreign substances

Systemic – not restricted to the initial infection site

Has memory – recognizes and mounts a stronger attack on previously encountered pathogens

Types of ImmunityTypes of Immunity

Slide 12.25


Humoral immunity

Antibody-mediated immunity

Cells produce chemicals for defense

Cellular immunity

Cell-mediated immunity

Cells target virus infected cells

Antigens (Nonself)Antigens (Nonself)

Slide 12.26


Any substance capable of exciting the immune system and provoking an immune response

Examples of common antigens Foreign proteins

Nucleic acids

Large carbohydrates

Some lipids

Pollen grains

Microorganisms

Self-AntigensSelf-Antigens

Slide 12.27


Human cells have many surface proteins

Our immune cells do not attack our own proteins

Our cells in another person’s body can trigger an immune response because they are foreign

Restricts donors for transplants

AllergiesAllergies

Slide 12.28


Many small molecules (called haptens or incomplete antigens) are not antigenic, but link up with our own proteins

The immune system may recognize and respond to a protein-hapten combination

The immune response is harmful rather than protective because it attacks our own cells

Lymphocytes Originate from hemocytoblasts in the red bone

marrow

B lymphocytes become immunocompetent in the bone marrow

T lymphocytes become immunocompetent in the thymus

Macrophages Arise from monocytes

Become widely distributed in lymphoid organs

Humoral (Antibody-Mediated) Humoral (Antibody-Mediated) Immune ResponseImmune Response

Slide 12.31a


B lymphocytes with specific receptors bind to a specific antigen

The binding event activates the lymphocyte to undergo clonal selection

A large number of clones are produced (primary humoral response)

Humoral (Antibody Mediated) Humoral (Antibody Mediated) Immune ResponseImmune Response

Slide 12.31b


Most B cells become plasma cells

Produce antibodies to destroy antigens

Activity lasts for four or five days

Some B cells become long-lived memory cells (secondary humoral response)

Passive ImmunityPassive Immunity

Slide 12.35


Antibodies are obtained from someone else Conferred naturally from a mother to her

fetus

Conferred artificially from immune serum or gamma globulin

Immunological memory does not occur

Protection provided by “borrowed antibodies”

Antibodies (Immunoglobulins) (Igs)Antibodies (Immunoglobulins) (Igs)

Slide 12.37


Soluble proteins secreted by B cells (plasma cells)

Carried in blood plasma

Capable of binding specifically to an antigen

Antibody ClassesAntibody Classes

Slide 12.39


Antibodies of each class have slightly different roles

Five major immunoglobulin classes – (Do Not Need to know!) IgM – can fix complement

IgA – found mainly in mucus

IgD – important in activation of B cell

IgG – can cross the placental barrier

IgE – involved in allergies

Cellular (Cell-Mediated) Immune Cellular (Cell-Mediated) Immune ResponseResponse

Slide 12.42


Antigens must be presented by macrophages to an immunocompetent T cell (antigen presentation)

T cells must recognize nonself and self (double recognition)

After antigen binding, clones form as with B cells, but different classes of cells are produced

Organ Transplants and RejectionOrgan Transplants and Rejection

Slide 12.46a


Major types of grafts

Autografts – tissue transplanted from one site to another on the same person

Isografts – tissue grafts from an identical person (identical twin)

Allografts – tissue taken from an unrelated person

Xenografts – tissue taken from a different animal species

Organ Transplants and RejectionOrgan Transplants and Rejection

Slide 12.46b


Autografts and isografts are ideal donors

Xenografts are never successful

Allografts are more successful with a closer tissue match

Disorders of Immunity: Disorders of Immunity: ImmunodeficienciesImmunodeficiencies

Slide 12.49


Production or function of immune cells or complement is abnormal

May be congenital or acquired

Includes AIDS – Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

Disorders of Immunity: Disorders of Immunity: Autoimmune DiseasesAutoimmune Diseases

Slide 12.50a


The immune system does not distinguish between self and nonself

The body produces antibodies and sensitized T lymphocytes that attack its own tissues


Slide 12.50b


Examples of autoimmune diseases Multiple sclerosis – white matter of brain

and spinal cord are destroyed

Myasthenia gravis – impairs communication between nerves and skeletal muscles

Juvenile diabetes – destroys pancreatic beta cells that produce insulin

Rheumatoid arthritis – destroys joints


Slide 12.50c


Examples of autoimmune diseases (continued)

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) – affects kidney, heart, lung and skin

Glomerulonephritis – impairment of renal function

• HIV targets cells

• Retrovirus attaches to CD4 receptors of T helper cells

– Transmission: Body fluids, i.e., blood, semen, breast milk, vaginal secretions

Immune Deficiency: AIDS

The Structure of HIV

Figure 9.19

Time Course of the Progression of AIDS after HIV Infection

Figure 9.21

•AIDS progression:

–Phase I: few weeks to a few years; flu like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes, chills, fever, fatigue, body aches. Virus is

multiplying, antibodies are made but ineffective for complete virus removal

–Phase II: within six months to 10 years; opportunistic infections present, Helper T cells affected, 5% may not

progress to next phase

–Phase III: Helper T cells fall below 200 per cubic millimeter of blood AND the person has an opportunistic infection or type

of cancer. Person is now termed as having “AIDS” May include pneumonia, meningitis, tuberculosis, encephalitis,

Kaposi’s sarcoma, and non-Hodgkin’s lumphoma….

• More than 36 million infected with HIV worldwide

• Most infections in sub-Sahara of Africa

• Increasing spread in Asia and India

• Most often spread by heterosexual contact outside U.S.
