A. Integrated Responses to Threats
1. Immunity - the capacity to resist and combat infection by pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi
2. Proteins in eukaryotic cell membranes have unique patterns (antigens) that the body recognizes as self & cells of multicelled eukaryotes have receptors that recognize nonself cues (anitgens) on or in pathogens, and trigger defense responses

C. Innate Immune Responses
Innate immune mechanisms nonspecifically eliminate pathogens that invade internal tissues before they become established• Phagocytes• Complement• Inflammation• Fever
![Page 13: Immunity. Impacts, Issues Frankie’s Last Wish Infection with a common, sexually transmitted virus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers – including the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2640/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1. Phagocytes
(Macrophages)a. Large phagocytes that patrol interstitial fluid and
engulf and digest pathogens
b. Secrete cytokines when receptors bind to antigen
c. Cytokines attract more macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells to infection site
![Page 14: Immunity. Impacts, Issues Frankie’s Last Wish Infection with a common, sexually transmitted virus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers – including the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2640/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

characterized by redness, warmth, swelling and pain, triggered by activated complement and cytokines
b. Mast cells release histamine, increasing capillary permeability
c. Phagocytes and plasma proteins leak out, attack invaders, form clots, and clean up debris
![Page 18: Immunity. Impacts, Issues Frankie’s Last Wish Infection with a common, sexually transmitted virus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers – including the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2640/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

A Bacteria invade a tissue and release toxins or metabolic products that damage tissue.
B Mast cells in tissue release histamine, which widens arterioles (causing redness and warmth) and increases capillary permeability.
C Fluid and plasma proteins leak out of capillaries; localized edema (tissue swelling) and pain result.
D Complement proteins attack bacteria. Clotting factors also wall off inflamed area.
E Neutrophils and macrophages engulf invaders and debris. Macrophage secretions kill bacteria, attract more lymphocytes, and initiate fever.

4. Fevera. A temporary rise in body temperature – above
the normal 37°C (98.6°F) – that often occurs in response to infection
b. Cytokines stimulate brain cells to release prostaglandins, which act on the hypothalamus
c. Fever enhances the immune response by speeding up metabolism and phagocyte activity
d. Fever over 40.6°C (105°F) can be dangerous
![Page 20: Immunity. Impacts, Issues Frankie’s Last Wish Infection with a common, sexually transmitted virus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers – including the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2640/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
D. Overview of Adaptive Immunity
1. Vertebrate adaptive immunity adapts to different antigens it encounters during its lifetime
2. Lymphocytes and phagocytes interact to effect four defining characteristics: Self/nonself recognition, specificity, diversity, and memory
![Page 21: Immunity. Impacts, Issues Frankie’s Last Wish Infection with a common, sexually transmitted virus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers – including the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2640/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
3. First Step – The Antigen Alert
a. Once a B or T cell recognizes and binds to a specific antigen, it begins to divide by mitosis - all descendent cells recognize the same antigen
b. T cells do not recognize an antigen unless it is presented by an antigen-presenting cell - macrophages, B cells, and dendritic cells digest particles and display antigen-MHC complexes
![Page 22: Immunity. Impacts, Issues Frankie’s Last Wish Infection with a common, sexually transmitted virus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers – including the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2640/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
c. Cell Types
i. Effector cells - differentiated lymphocytes (B and T cells) that act at once to fight infection
ii. Memory cells - long-lived B and T cells reserved for future encounters with the same antigen
![Page 23: Immunity. Impacts, Issues Frankie’s Last Wish Infection with a common, sexually transmitted virus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers – including the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2640/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

4. Two Arms of Adaptive Immunity
a. Antibody-mediated immune response - B cells produce antibodies that bind to specific antigen particles in blood or interstitial fluid
b. Cell-mediated immune response - Cytotoxic T cells and NK cells detect and destroy infected or altered body cells
![Page 25: Immunity. Impacts, Issues Frankie’s Last Wish Infection with a common, sexually transmitted virus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers – including the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2640/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Interactions Between Antibody-Mediated and Cell-Mediated Responses
![Page 26: Immunity. Impacts, Issues Frankie’s Last Wish Infection with a common, sexually transmitted virus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers – including the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2640/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
5. Intercepting and Clearing Out Antigen
a. After engulfing antigen-bearing particles, dendritic cells or macrophages migrate to lymph nodes, where T cells bind and initiate responses
b. During an infection, lymph nodes swell due to accumulation of T cells
c. Antibody-antigen complexes bound by complement are cleared by the liver and spleen
![Page 27: Immunity. Impacts, Issues Frankie’s Last Wish Infection with a common, sexually transmitted virus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers – including the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2640/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

E. Antibodies and Other Antigen Receptors
1. Antigen receptors on B and T cells have the potential to recognize billions of different antigens
2. Antibodya. Y-shaped antigen receptor (protein), made only
by B cells, that binds only to the antigen that prompted its synthesis
b. Activates complement, facilitates phagocytosis, or neutralizes pathogens or toxins
![Page 29: Immunity. Impacts, Issues Frankie’s Last Wish Infection with a common, sexually transmitted virus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers – including the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2640/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

3. Making Antigen Receptors
a. Genes that encode antigen receptors occur in several segments on different chromosomes
b. Different versions are randomly spliced together during B or T cell differentiation, producing about 2.5 billion different combinations
c. T cells mature in the thymus, which stimulates production of MHC and T cell receptors
![Page 31: Immunity. Impacts, Issues Frankie’s Last Wish Infection with a common, sexually transmitted virus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers – including the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2640/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

F. The Antibody-Mediated Immune Response
1. Antigen activates naïve B cells and dendritic cells
2. Naïve T cell binds to APC and differentiates into effector and memory helper T cells
3. Helper T cells bind antigen-MHC complexes on activated B cell and secrete cytokines
4. B cell differentiates into effector B cells, which produce antibodies targeting a specific antigen, and memory B cells
![Page 33: Immunity. Impacts, Issues Frankie’s Last Wish Infection with a common, sexually transmitted virus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers – including the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2640/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

1. Autoimmune Disorders
a. Sometimes lymphocytes and antibodies fail to discriminate between self and nonself
b. Autoimmune responsei. An immune response that is misdirected
against the person’s own tissues
ii. Rheumatoid arthritis, Graves’ disease, multiple sclerosis
