Activation of B cells to make Antibody
y AB Cell uses one of itsreceptors to bind to itsmatching antigen, which the Bcell engulfs and processes.
y
The B cell then displays a pieceof the antigen, bound to aClass II MHC (majorhistocompatibility complex)protein, on the cell surface.
y This whole complex then binds
to an activated helper T cell tostimulates the transformationof the B cell into an antibody secreting Plasma cell.

T - Cellsy T cells attacks and destroys
diseased cells they recognize asforeign.
y T lymphocytes are responsible
for cell-mediated immunity (orcellular immunity).
y T cells also orchestrate,regulate and coordinate theoverall immune response.
y T cells depend on unique cell
surface molecules called theMajor HistocompatibilityComplex (MHC) to help themrecognize antigen fragments

cells.y Killer T cell

8/8/2019 NCM 104 - Immunology
21/102
T Cells - Typesy Cytotoxic or killer T cells (CD8+)- do their work by releasing lymphotoxins,
which cause cell lysis
y HelperT cells (CD4+) - serve as managers, directing the immune response,
y
secrete chemicals called lymphokines that stimulate cytotoxic T cells andB cells to grow and divide, attract neutrophils, and enhance the ability ofmacrophages to engulf and destroy microbes
y SuppressorT cells
y a component of the immune system that suppress immune responses of other cells.
y These cells are involved in closing down immune responses after they have
successfully tackled invading organisms and also in keeping in check immuneresponses that may potentially attack one's own tissues ("autoimmunity").
y MemoryT cells - programmed to recognize and respond to a pathogen once ithas invaded and been repelled.

Complement Systemy Circulating Plasma proteins made in the liver
y Activated when Antigen-antibody connects
y It coats microbes with molecules that make them more
susceptible to engulfment by phagocytesy They also encourage polys to adhere to the walls of
capillaries (margination) from which they can squeezethrough in a matter of minutes to arrive at a damaged area
y Emigration by squeezing of the wandering macrophagesthrough the capillary walls to the tissue
y Extravasation also know as diapedesis
y Once phagocytes do their job, they die and their"corpses," pockets of damaged tissue, and fluid form pus.

Overviewy Caused by an oversensitive immune system
y An allergic reaction is when the immune system reacts
to substances (allergens) that are generally harmlessand in most people do not cause an immune response.
-
8/8/2019 NCM 104 - Immunology
69/102
y In a person with allergies, the first exposure to theallergen triggers the immune system to recognize thesubstance.
y Succeeding exposurewill usuallyresult in symptoms.
-
8/8/2019 NCM 104 - Immunology
70/102
yWhen an allergen enters the body of a person with asensitized immune system, histamine and otherchemicals are released by certain cells.
y This causes itching, swelling, mucus production,
muscle spasms, hives, rashes, and othersymptoms.
y Symptoms vary in severity from person to person.
-
8/8/2019 NCM 104 - Immunology
71/102
ySome disorders may be associated with allergies.These include eczemaand asthma, amongothers.
y Commonallergens include those that contactthe skin, breathing passages, or the surface of the
eye (such as pollen; see also allergy to mold,dander, dust).
y Food allergies and drugallergies are common.y Allergic reactions can be caused by insect bites,
jewelry, cosmetics, and almost any substance thatcontacts the body.

Preventiony Children who have been breastfed are less likely
to have allergies.
y There is also evidence that infants exposed tocertain airborne allergens (such as dust mitesand cat dander) may be less likely to developrelated allergies.
yOnce allergies have developed, treating theallergies and carefullyavoiding those things thatcause reactions can prevent allergies in thefuture.

HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONSy Are immune responses to allergens that result in tissue
destruction
y Type I (ANAPHYLACTIC) reactions. Anaphylaxis is an
acute, life-threatening allergic reaction marked by rapidlyprogressive urticaria & respiratory distress which mayresult in anaphylactic shock.
y ETIOLOGY. Results from ingesting or systemic exposure to
allergenic substances (drugs, foods, insect-venom)

79/102
y Type II (CYTOTOXIC) reactions are mediated by
Ig G and IgM, which attach to cells (usuallycirculating blood elements) and cause cell lysis.Ex. Hemolytic anemia
y Type III (IMMUNE COMPLEX) reaction are
mediated by antigen-antibody complexes thatdeposit in the lining of blood vessels or on tissuesurfaces ex. Rheumatoid arthritis, serum sickness
y Type IV (DELAYED HYPERSENSITIVITY)
reactions are mediated by lymphokines releasedfrom sensitized lymphocytes

PATHOPHYSIOLOGYHIV (Retrovirus)
Carries genetic information as RNA
Attach to surface antigen (CD4)
Transmits genetic information into the human cell
Primary cells affected are the Helper T cells
Direct infiltration into the CNS
HIV RNA enters the cell, reverse transcriptase converts RNA
to DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) material
As DNA, the virus is able to replicate as the cell replicate
Rapid cell destruction & proliferation can occur
Virus can lie dormant for approx. 10 years
