Mucus Membranes

Phagocytic cells

Migrate OUT of the blood when the sense differences in concentration of certain chemicals engulf bacteria, dead cells, etc….

Recognize surface molecules on abnormal cells (cancerous or virus infected)

Lymphatic system-includes vessels (with valves)-fluid (lymph)-organs

Important cells are T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes

These cells are involved in specific immunity“immune response”

Is highly specific

•Produces antibodies in response to specific antigens

•Antigens may be molecules on Bacteria, viruses, protozoa, worms, transplanted organs

•Both B and T lymphocytes have receptors on membrane that recognize different antigens

Acquired Immunity (the immune response)

B cells -mature in bone- produce antibodies

-antibodies float through the blood, recognizing and attaching to antigens

T cells -mature in thymus-do not produce antibodies-”killer cells”

Both B cells and T cells can produce memory cells

T cells are selected

B cells are selected-antibody producing plasma cells are produced

Person feels ill while these cells are producedSymptoms diminish as these cells do their job

Response is much faster

Memory cells are activated -tend to have a stronger response than the primary

Allergies

Hypersensitivity to environmental antigen (allergen)

Antibodies attach to mast cells

pollen bridges the gap causing degranulation

Histamine & other Inflammatory agents released

Active immunityresults from natural recovery from infections

vaccinations

Passive immunityReceive antibodies from someone else

-IgG anitibodies cross placenta-breast milk-shots (rabies treatment)

Transfusions/transplantsABO blood group

-IgM doesn’t cross placenta

Antibodies produced against bacterial antigens which are very similar

rH factor-IgG crosses placenta

Tissue graphs/ organ transplants

Give drugs that suppress cell mediated immunity

Bone marrow transplants

Risk of graft vs host reactionDonor lymphocytes attack host cells

Anaphylactic shock

Acute reaction to allergen

Massive dilation of blood vessels-drop in blood pressure

Counteracted by epinephrine

Autoimmune diseasesImmune system doesn’t recognize “self” and attacks

MS

Insulin dependent diabetes

HIV infection of cells require CD4-found on T cells

Is a retrovirusAntibodies are ineffective because

-provirus gives it “invisibility”-rapid rate of mutation-Helper T cells decrease-secondary infections

Drug treatments slow viral replication-AZT (reverse transcriptase inhibitors)-protease inhibitors
