The Immune System
Central to survival after infectionCentral to public health− Immunity can be manipulated to protect both
individuals and populations by vaccinationEffective use of vaccination depends upon knowledge of immune system function− Nature of the vaccine (live, subunit, vectored)− Characteristics of the type of immunity induced− Target antigens

Phagocytosis
Active process that destroys invading pathogensMediated by specialized cells (phagocytes)− Macrophages, neutrophils
Phagocytes engulf potential pathogens− Efficient engulfment depends on receptors for
common bacterial cell wall components Once engulfed, pathogens are killed and digestedSome pathogens are resistant (TB)

Phagocytosis
Phagocytes are located in strategic places− Skin, blood, gut
Phagocytes are chemotactic (attracted to sites of injury)Phagocytes can be “activated” to become better killers

Adaptive Immunity
Arises as a consequence of exposure to a particular target(virus, protein, toxin)Specific for that targetArises after a delay of a few daysPotentExhibits “memory”− Rapid, large
reappearance upon a second exposure

Adaptive Immunity
Humoral: mediated by protein molecules called antibodiesCell-mediated immunity (CMI): due to the action of specialized immune system cells
![Page 14: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution …ocw.jhsph.edu/courses/PublicHealthBiology/PDFs/Lecture4.pdf · 2016-06-13 · 4 The Immune System Central to survival](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8cf50cb26c7802cb74b269/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Humoral Immunity
Mediated mostly by protein molecules called antibodies (Ab), also called immunoglobulin (Ig)Antibodies generally are found in extracellular fluids− Blood, lymph, mucus
Antibodies are active against agents with an extracellular phase, including some viruses, toxins, and bacterial infections− Not all pathogens have obligatory extracellular
phasesIn some cases, extracellular exposure is briefAntibodies tend to be ineffective against such agents

15
Antigen Binding by Antibody
Antibodies act by physically binding to their targets called antigens (Ag)Antibody binding to antigen occurs because of a close physical fit between the antibody and the target antigen (epitope)− Binding is extremely
specific—a given antibody binds only to one (or a few closely related) antigens
Binding results in inactivation or destruction of the target
Antigen(lysozyme)
Ab

Antibody Structure (IgG)
Four protein chains− Two “heavy”− Two “light”− The heavy chains
are identical to each other
− The light chains are identical to each other
The chains are held together by disulphide bonds

Antibody Structure (IgG)
It is estimated that there can be about 1011
different variable region amino acid sequences, and so about 1011
antibody specificitiesAt a given time, about 109 are found in an individualAntibody diversity is generated by DNA rearrangements that occur during immune development

Antibody Structure (IgM, IgA)
There are several different types of antibody, each with specific functions− Two examples are IgM and IgA, which are
important antibodies on mucosal surfaces

Opsonization by Antibody
Phagocytosis can be made much more efficient by antibody

22
Additional Functions of Antibody
Complement fixationAntibody-dependent cytotoxicityBoth depend on the binding of Ab to the outside of a cellular target to recruit effectors that kill the cell

23
Cell-Mediated Immunity (CMI)
The primary effectors of CMI are cytotoxic T cells (killer T cells, CD8+ T cells, CTLs)− Activated macrophages also participate
Cytotoxic T cells kill other cellsThe primary targets of cytotoxic T cells are usually pathogen-infected cellsLike humoral immunity, CMI depends on specific recognition of an antigen by a protein: T-cell receptor
![Page 24: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution …ocw.jhsph.edu/courses/PublicHealthBiology/PDFs/Lecture4.pdf · 2016-06-13 · 4 The Immune System Central to survival](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8cf50cb26c7802cb74b269/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
T-Cell Receptor (TcR)
Primary recognition molecule in CMISimilar in structure to antibody− Two chains− V and C regions− Membrane-bound
![Page 25: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution …ocw.jhsph.edu/courses/PublicHealthBiology/PDFs/Lecture4.pdf · 2016-06-13 · 4 The Immune System Central to survival](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8cf50cb26c7802cb74b269/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Recognition by TcR
TcR recognizes antigen by shapeRecognition is of antigen fragments, bound to another specialized immune system protein, the MHC I antigenThis is called “presentation”MHC I is found on the surface of essentially all cells
![Page 26: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution …ocw.jhsph.edu/courses/PublicHealthBiology/PDFs/Lecture4.pdf · 2016-06-13 · 4 The Immune System Central to survival](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8cf50cb26c7802cb74b269/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Antigen Presentation
The targets of CMI tend to be pathogen-infected cellsPresentation is the consequence of a specific mechanism:− Processing− Intracellular loading
of MHC I− Transport to the cell
surface

Killing by CMI
Antigen is presentedAntigen is recognized by cytotoxic T cellThe T cell releases pore-forming proteinsThe target cell dies, killing the internal pathogen

Humoral vs. Cell-Mediated Immunity
Humoral immunity− Antibody-mediated− Effective in extracellular spaces
CMI− Mediated by T cells− Effective against intracellular pathogens− Kills infected host cells

Induction of Adaptive Immunity
![Page 30: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution …ocw.jhsph.edu/courses/PublicHealthBiology/PDFs/Lecture4.pdf · 2016-06-13 · 4 The Immune System Central to survival](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8cf50cb26c7802cb74b269/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Induction of an Immune Response
Induction of the humoral and CMI responses involve parallel mechanisms:− Effectors arise from initially naïve precursor cells (B
and T cells) − Precursors bear surface receptors with specificities
generated at random (Ig, TcR)− Naïve precursors differentiate (acquire effector
function) because of interaction between antigen and receptors
− Development begins with an interaction between the pathogen and professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs)

35
Maturation of T Cells
T cells are produced as naïve precursors− No effector function− Random TcR specificities
Maturation is triggered by encountering a cell presenting a recognizable antigenMaturation of T cells involves primarily:− Acquisition of effector function− Proliferation of cells with specificities that suit the
pathogen at hand (clonal expansion)
![Page 36: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution …ocw.jhsph.edu/courses/PublicHealthBiology/PDFs/Lecture4.pdf · 2016-06-13 · 4 The Immune System Central to survival](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8cf50cb26c7802cb74b269/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Maturation of T Cells
Naïve T cells circulate, sampling the antigens presented on APCs− Sampling involves brief physical interaction
between the antigen (in the context of MHC) and the T cell TcR
If the antigen is not recognized, the interaction is short lived, and the T cell moves on
![Page 37: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution …ocw.jhsph.edu/courses/PublicHealthBiology/PDFs/Lecture4.pdf · 2016-06-13 · 4 The Immune System Central to survival](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8cf50cb26c7802cb74b269/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Maturation of T Cells
If the antigen is recognized, binding is tight and long lived− Stimulatory signals are exchanged (cytokines)− The T cell proliferates− Effector mechanisms are developed− Memory cells are produced
![Page 38: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution …ocw.jhsph.edu/courses/PublicHealthBiology/PDFs/Lecture4.pdf · 2016-06-13 · 4 The Immune System Central to survival](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8cf50cb26c7802cb74b269/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Cytotoxic T Cells and Helper T Cells
There are two kinds of T cells:− Cytotoxic T cells ( or CD8+)− Helper T cells ( or CD4+)
These differ in function and therefore develop different effector functions− kills virus infected cells and develops cytotoxic
mechanisms discussed earlier− assists in the immune response (below) and
develops ”helper” mechanisms (increased ability to secrete cytokines)

Maturation of B Cells
Antibodies are the products of plasma cells, which mature from B cellsNaïve B cells with random surface antibody specificities circulate, sampling the antigens presentIf an antigen recognized by the naïve B cell is encountered, its bind is internalized, and it is presented on MHC II− Modest proliferation also occurs, and partial
activation toward the plasma cell stateThe B cell is now primed for differentiation, needing only help from a cellTH

41
Maturation of B Cells
The primed B cell continues to circulate, presenting its processed antigen to passing T cells− Since it presents on MHC II, only cells are
interestedWhen a cognate cell is finally encountered, signals are exchanged (as for T-cell maturation above)− Cell proliferation occurs− Differentiation to plasma cells and IgG production
begins(Refinement of specificity)
− Memory cells are produced

Poliovirus Pathogenesis: A Review
Transmission by fecal-oral route via contaminated waterPrimary replication/multiplication is in lymphoid cells (specialized cells of the immune system), especially in the gutVirus is shed primarily into the gut and is excreted in the fecesSome virus also enters the blood and reaches other susceptible cells; these include anterior horn cells (motor neurons), which innervate muscleDestruction of these cells can result in paralysis− Disease is not a consequence of an essential step in
the virus’s life cycle
