WHY DO WE NEED AN IMMUNE SYSTEM?
Yes, they do.
But: they are non-specific defenses.

WE NEED SPECIFIC DEFENSES TOO.
B cells and T cells accomplish this.
B cells are important for antibody induced immunity in body fluids
T cells are important for cell based immunity.(Think abnormal cells and pathogens in cells)
![Page 5: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
FIRST LET’S REVIEW NON-SPECIFIC DEFENSES:
Integumentary system
Phagocytes in blood and tissues
Complement
Fever and Inflammation
But it is not enough!
![Page 6: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
3 CELL TYPES OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Lymphocytes“The militia”
Phagocytes“The janitors”
NK cells“The ninjas”
![Page 7: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
PHAGOCYTES
First line of defense, often attack and remove microorganisms before lymphocytes
(T cells and B cells) detect them.
2 TypesMicrophages – patrol blood
Macrophages – patrol peripheral tissue
![Page 8: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SPECIFIC DEFENSE CELL 1: T CELLS
4 Types of T cells Cytotoxic- highly mobile, seek out and destroy
abnormal or infected cells“think detective”
Helper- activate B cells so they are able to produce antibodies
“think keys”
Suppressor- Keep the immune system from overreacting
“think bouncer”
Memory- on 2nd exposure automatically transform to cytotoxic T cells.
Thymus dependent cells, recognize antigens when bound to special proteins in a cell membrane, called MHC proteins.
![Page 9: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SPECIFIC DEFENSE CELL 2: B CELLS
B memory cells – on second exposure they divide into plasma cells that secrete antibodies in massive quantities*. *How massive? -When stimulated by cytokines from a T cell, plasma cells can secrete up to 100 million antibody molecules an HOUR
B cells - Bone marrow derived cells, each carries its own specific antibody molecule that fits a corresponding antigen. Needs the Helper T cells to activate and stimulate their division. They will eventually divide into plasma cells and Memory B cells.
2 types of B cells
![Page 10: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
T CELL ACTIVATION
When a macrophage (“think pac-man”)
engulfs a pathogen with an antigen on it, the antigens are presented to the T-cell by placing them on its cell membrane at the
MHC.
The T-cell then is able to recognize and bind to the antigen there and begin dividing.
![Page 11: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
![Page 12: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
B CELL ACTIVATION
On their surface B cells have specific antibodies that bind with specific antigens.
B cells engulf the antigen and present it on their cell membrane to be recognized by an activated Helper T
cell, which gives the B cell the “go ahead”.
The T-cell attaches to the part of the B cell membrane where the antigen is and begins to secrete
cytokines to activate the B cell.
The B cell can now divide, accelerate plasma cell formation, and enhance antibody production.

REMEMBER THE DIFFERENCE!
- Antibodies do not peak until 1-2 weeks after exposure
- IgM are first to appear, but do not create memory cells. Immediate, but limited defense
- IgG rises more slowly and creates memory cells. Takes over response.
- Even low antigen concentrations will immediately trigger memory B cell response.
- Antibodies increase rapidly and reach much higher concentrations than with the primary response
- Invading organism is often destroyed before symptoms appear.

TYPES OF ANTIBODIES
IgA – Found in secretions of the body.
IgD – Found on the cell membrane of B cells.
IgE – Found wherever IgA is. Thought to be involved in triggering allergic reactions.
IgG – Primarily recognizes bacteria, viruses, and toxins.
IgM – a very large antibody that binds to food and incompatible blood cells.

HOW ANTIBODIES ATTACK ANTIGENS
Phagocyte recognition and destruction
Antigens clump together and are targeted by macrophages
The toxic portion of the antigen is covered
Activate complement proteins that form holes in antigen

SO, HOW DOES THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM FIT INTO ALL OF THIS?
It’s primary function is the production, maintenance, and distribution of lymphocytes!
Remember, those are the T cells and B cells essential for specific immunity.
![Page 19: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ORGANS OF THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
The organs of the Lymphatic System include:
LymphLymphatic VesselsLymphoid TissuesLymphoid Organs
Lymphocytes
![Page 20: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
HOW DOES THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM WORK?
More fluid is delivered to tissues than can be carried away.
The Lymphatic System’s circulatory network returns this fluid to the blood stream.
On the way to the major collecting ducts, pathogens are filtered at stops such as the spleen and lymph nodes
Lymphocytes, produced in the organs of the lymphatic system, freely flow through this circuit and patrol.
![Page 21: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
FORMATION OF LYMPHOCYTES
Two different types are produced in the bone marrow
One type stays there, the other migrates to the thymus to mature, separated from the blood.
When they have completed maturing they return to the bone marrow and lymphoid tissues and organs, such as the spleen.
![Page 22: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
LYMPHOID ORGANS
All lymphoid organs are separated from the surrounding tissues by a fibrous connective
tissue capsule.
Lymph NodesThymusSpleen
![Page 23: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
WHAT IS LYMPH?
A thin, watery fluid originating in organs and tissues of the body.
It circulates through the lymphatic vessels and is filtered by the lymph nodes.
It enters the blood stream at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins.
![Page 24: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
FLOW OF LYMPH
Lymphatic capillaries
Small Lymphatic Vessels
Superficial and Deep Lymphatics Lymph Nodes Major Lymph Collecting Ducts
![Page 25: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
THE FILTERING PROCESS
Lymph nodes – Purify lymph before it returns to the venous circulation. 99% of the antigens are removed.
A T cell may spend 20 hours in a lymph node.
A B cell may spend 30 hours in a lymph node.
![Page 26: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
OTHER ORGANS OF THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Thymus – the thymus provides a place for lymphocytes to mature, separated from the systemic circulation.
The thymus also produces several hormones that are important to the development and maintenance of a normal immune system.
![Page 27: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
OTHER ORGANS OF THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Spleen – Has the largest collection of lymphoid tissue in the body and does for blood what lymph nodes do for lymph.
-removal of abnormal blood cells and components-storage of iron from recycled red blood cells-initiation of immune response by B and
T cells in response to circulating antigens.

DISEASES OF IMMUNITY
HIVHuman Immunodeficiency Virus
![Page 29: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
PATHOLOGY OF HIV
Depletes Helper T cells
Circulating antibodies also decrease, and cell mediated immunity is reduced. (As a result pathogens that are usually harmless create
opportunistic infections.)
The surplus in suppressor T cells as Helper T cells die turns off the normal immune response.
Immune surveillance is also decreased, increasing cancer risk.
![Page 30: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
STAGES OF HIVAcute Infection
Large amounts of the virus are being reproduced in the body.
Usually occurs within 2-4 weeks of infection
After rapid Helper T cell destruction, immune system kicks in and body returns to a viral set point.
Clinical Latency
HIV reproduces at low levels, but is still active
It is still possible to transmit the virus
This period may last 8 years or longer.
AIDS
Helper T cell count falls to dangerously low levels
At this stage the immune system is badly damaged and opportunistic infections are likely.
Survival is typically 3 years with AIDS. It is only 1 year with an opportunistic infection.
![Page 31: Immune system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55501972b4c90555618b4f22/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
SURPRISING HIV FACTS
Virus enters the body under clever camouflage, cloaked in sugar molecules.
There are different strains of the virus, some more deadly than others.
34 million people are living with HIV today. Transmission to a fetus from the mother is
now considered entirely avoidable with medication.
A quarter of AIDS deaths are from TB
