Antibody Concentration – Primary and Secondary Response
Primary Response
1. Infection (Ag)
2. Lag phase 3 Antibodies produced
4 Antibody level rises to combat infection
5 Ag dealt with
6 Ab level declines – short lived
Secondary Response
After the primary response, Ab’s do not stay in blood – the level declines
If the body is infected by the same Ag a second time Ab’s must be made again
Re-infection causes much more rapid and a stronger immune response – concentration of Ab’s rises sooner- reaches a higher concentration – more plasma cells than in 1o response – more cells to respond to Ag; less time to produce same number of plasma cells –hence, a greater [Ab] compared to 1o response; increased affinity of Ab for Ag.
This is due to the presence of memory cells (made during the primary response) – no need for antigen presentation and clonal selection
Long-lived; basis of vaccination

B cells
Humoral responseHas Ag receptors – carries Ab (receptor) on surfaceComplimentary to only one Ag
Clonal selection
Each B cell – molecules of single type of Ab on outer surface of plasma membraneSelection and activation of appropriate B lymphocyte / B cell and T lymphocyte by APC’s (macrophages)
Clonal expansion
T cells divide by mitosis to form a clone (clonal expansion) - and secrete signal molecules termed cytokines (lymphokines) which stimulate the selected B cells to divide by mitosis to form a clone (clonal expansion)B cells specialise / differentiate to form larger Ab secreting plasma cellsAb’s are specific / complementary to Agnitiating the responseB cells and T cells also differentiate into memory cells – long lived / remain in circulation – provide immunological memory to provide a secondary response on subsequent exposure to the same Ag; 2o response is more rapid and stronger; produces larger amount of Ab
Lag phase – antigen presentation (by macrophage /phagocyte); clonal selection (T + B lymphocytes); production of cytokines; B cell activation; clonal expansion; formation of plasma cells; protein (antibody synthesis

Clonal selection – receptorsOn T cell membrane – complementary to Ag
Clonal expansion (T cells) – divide by mitosis
Clonal expansion (B cells)
Remain in body to produce a rapid and stronger 2o response on exposure to the same Ag – divide to make Ab producing plasma cells –
Phagocyte (has enzymes)Partial digestion of AgAg still whole Antigen presenting cell(antigen presentation)

B cellSmallerOrigin – bone marrow + foetal liver cellsDevelopment – bone marrow + foetal liverLow nucleus to cytoplasm ratio – nucleus larger relative to cytoplasm
Plasma cellLargerDerived from B cellLarge nucleus to cytoplasm ratio – nucleus smaller relative to cytoplasmDevelops extensive RER - increase in protein (antibody) synthesis; transportMore ribosomes; more mitochondria (ATP for synthesis and secretion)More Golgi apparatus – for secretory vesicles;adding carbohydrate (to make glycoprteins)More space for organelles
Ab (protein) made by ribosomes (RER); ATP required (mitochondria)

An antibody molecule Ag binding site (Fab)Variable region – varies from one Ab to another – due to variable amino acid sequence (primary structure) – different 3o and 4o structures; different shapes antigen binding sites - ensures specificity for a particular Ag
Specific shape – complementaryto Ag – “Lock and Key”Bind with a specific Ag
Constant region (Fc)Related to class of AbEnables Ab to bind to receptors and attach to cells – e.g. Phagocytes / mast cells
Produced by B lymphocytesLarge globular proteins – Y shaped 4 polypeptide chains (held together by S-S (disulphide) bonds
Hinge region – allows spatialflexibility to branches of the Y shaped variable region of the AbAllows for binding to more than one Ag

Mode of Action of Antibodies
Neutralisation and agglutination
-also promotes phagocytosis by the constant region attracting-phagocytes
Immobilise pathogens (bind with flagellum)Destroy bacterial cell wall (lysis)Stop spread

T cells
Ag presentation by phagocytesReceptors on T cell surface complementary to Ag – specificityClonal selection – Ag selects only those T cells with complementary receptors and activates them Clonal expansion - activated T cells divide by mitosis into a cloneTh cells release cytokines (signalling chemicals)Stimulate B cells to divide by mitosis to form a clone of B lymphocytes (low nucleus to cytoplasm ratio)These differentiate into larger plasma cells (large nucleus to cytoplasm ratio)Secrete antibodies
Tcyt – kill cells with intracellular parasitesTk – kill abnormal cells with markers for cancerTsup – regulate immune responseMemory T cells – able to differentiate rapidly into Th, Tcyt, Tk cells on stimulation with Ag
