6 Human Physiology - Innate Immune System

7 Innate Immunity External Defences: the pathogen must first enter through the external barriers in order to penetrate the host. This is the first line of defense exhibited by organisms 1) Intact skin: Low ph, hostile for pathogenic bacteria Has good flora bacteria, overcrowds the skin if there is a tiny abrasion the pathogen may enter the body 2) Mucus Lining: secreted by the epithelial cells of the respiratory and digestive tract Trap anything foreign and remove it from the body

8 Innate Immunity Internal Cellular and Chemical Defenses: If the pathogen manages to enter the human body, it must now fight against internal defense mechanisms. - Most of these defenses involve phagocytosis - Phagocytic cells have receptors that can bind to the pathogen and engulf the pathogen.

9 Some viruses and bacteria have developed mechanisms that have enabled them to either not be recognized by the receptors or be resistant against the enzymes in the lysosomes.

10 Internal Defenses 1) white blood cells (a.k.a leukocytes). Each will differ in its life span and phagocytic ability. Neutrophils: approximately 60-70% of all WBCs. They go to the site of infection and engulf any pathogen. But they will also self-destroy themselves in the process and thus only live for a few days. Monocytes: give rise to macrophages and make up 5% of the blood. Some macrophages will reside in the tissue in which they differentiated and others will circulate the blood and patrol for pathogens. When they come in contact with a pathogen and engulf them, a series of pathways are activated which gives it its function. Eosinophils: have a low phagocytic activity. They release toxins/chemicals that help to destroy any parasite that has entered the body. Basophil: secrete histamine. Lymphocytes. They create antibodies to defend against bacteria, viruses, and other potentially harmful invaders Dendritic Cells: not a WBC. They process antigen material and present it on the cell surface to the T cells of the immune system

11

12 Internal Defences 2) Antimicrobial Proteins: Belong to the complement system. Proteins are only activated in the presence of a pathogen. Interferon alpha and beta: virus-infected cells will release these proteins to neighbouring cells so that they can either burst or stop the process of transcription/translation so that no viral proteins are made Interferon gamma: stimulates macrophage and activates them

13

14 Internal Defences 3) Inflammatory Response: Chemicals are released by cells to initiate an inflammatory response when tissues are damaged. Mast cells located in the connective tissues will release histamine when pathogen destroys nearby tissue Other chemicals released by the mast cells and macrophages will help dilate the blood vessels and increase blood flow redness and heat associated with an inflammation Delivers the appropriate antimicrobial proteins and clotting factors to heal the tissues The chemokines released throughout this process also help to signal more WBC to the injured site.

15 Internal Defenses: Inflammatory Response

16 The Inflammatory Response HD Animation

17 Acquired Immunity When the macrophages and dendritic cells have engulfed the pathogen, they release proteins (cytokines) that help attract and activate lymphocytes to the site of infection. Lymphocytes: - the primary WBC involved in the secondary response - release antibodies that recognize the epitope of the antigen. Antibodies: - proteins that are released by lymphocytes - can recognize the epitope of different antigens Antigens: - any pathogen that can elicit a response from a lymphocyte - proteins that are either on the surface of the pathogen or the toxins released by the pathogen. Epitope: - the surface of the antigen

18 Lymphocytes reside in the spleen, lymphatic tissues, lymph vessels circulate in the blood and are activated when needed two main type of lymphocytes: 1) B lymphocytes (B cells): - able to recognize the antigen in an intact state and will bind to its epitope to destroy it - contain antibodies (antigen binding receptors) on its surface that help bind and recognize specific epitopes 2) T lymphocytes (T cells): Both lymphocytes contain approximately antigen receptors on their cell membrane that recognize the antigens. - only recognize fragments of the pathogen that are presented by the macrophages

19 B Cells Y-shaped and contains 4 polypeptide chains: 2 heavy chains and 2 light chains. Each B cell will have two identical antigen-binding sites. When antigen binds, it is held by non covalent bonds to the V- region of the receptor The variable region, will vary between B-cells in its amino acid sequence allows it to recognize a variety of cells/antigens The constant regions will be similar between all B-cells B-cells may also secrete antibodies into the blood stream (free floating) These are known as immunoglobins.

20 B Cells

21 T Cells The receptor: alpha and beta chain are connected by disulfide bridges T cells are able to recognize fragments of antigens that are presented on MHC molecules. What are MHC molecules? Cells infected by the pathogen or cells responsible for killing the pathogen will present fragments of the pathogen onto its cell surface through the MHC molecules (major histocompatibility complex). Phagocytic WBCs phagocytose antigens and display them on their surface. MHC molecules/receptors are made within the cell and transported to the cell surface along with the antigen.

22 T Cells Cells infected by pathogen dendritic cells, macrophages or B cells Infected cell Antigen fragment Class I MHC molecule T cell receptor 2 1 A fragment of foreign protein (antigen) inside the cell associates with an MHC molecule and is transported to the cell surface. The combination of MHC molecule and antigen is recognized by a T cell, alerting it to the infection. 2 1 A fragment of foreign protein (antigen) inside the cell associates with an MHC molecule and is transported to the cell surface. Microbe The combination of MHC molecule and antigen is recognized by a T cell, alerting it to the infection. Antigenpresenting cell Antigen fragment Class II MHC molecule T cell receptor (a) Cytotoxic T cell (b) Helper T cell

23 Human Physiology - The Specific Immune Response: Characteristics of B and T Cells

24 Lymphocyte Development Lymphocytes are made by stem cells in the bone marrow. Some are delivered to the thymus and will develop into a T cell. Lymphocytes that remain in the bone marrow develop into a B cell. The development of lymphocytes happen in three main steps: 1) Lymphocyte diversity occur before the cells contact an antigen 2) Removal of self-reactive lymphocytes 3) Clonal Selection of Lymphocytes occurs when it encounters an antigen

25 1) Lymphocyte Diversity 1) LYMPH. DIVERSITY specific enzymes rearrange and make sure that there is always a J segment associated with a V segment. The gene segments undergo random rearrangements which increase diversity. The V regions of the antigen receptor will vary between lymphocytes. The amino acids determine its specificity. The C region codes for the constant region which is never rearranged. This occurs for the light and heavy chains separately, increasing variability even more. 2) Removal of Self-reactive Lymph. 3) Clonal Selection of Lymph.

26 2) Removal of Self-Reactive Lymphocytes Due to the random rearrangements, some lymphocytes may recognize antigens on the cell surface of host cells. Thus, they are tested in their site of maturation for potential of any selfreactivity. They are tested again MHC I and MHC II cells that are located in the area 1) Lymph. Diversity 2) REMOVAL OF SELF-REACTIVE LYMPH. 3) Clonal Selection of Lymph. The cells that contain receptors recognizing self are destroyed by apoptosis

27 3) Clonal Selection of Lymphocytes When the pathogen comes in contact with the various lymphocytes, it will only bind to the one that have the specific receptor. Once bound to the antigen, that lymphocyte will divide and clone itself into short lived effector cells that will combat the pathogen immediately. 1) Lymph. Diversity 2) Removal of Self-reactive Lymph. 3) CLONAL SELECTION OF LYMPH. It will also clone memory cells which will circulate in the body from now on and help fight the same pathogen if infected again

28 Primary vs. Secondary Immune Response

29 Humoral and Cell Mediated Immunity Acquire immunity can be subdivided into two branches: 1)Humoral Immunity: Clonal selection of B cells which help secrete antibodies into the blood stream. The memory B-cells are used later on during the secondary immune response. 2) Mediated Immunity: Clonal selection of cytotoxic T cells which help to destroy target cells

30 Helper T cells have surface proteins known as CD4 which allow it to bind to Class II MHC cells. Dendritic cells are required to trigger a primary immune response. When it binds to the CD 4 receptors of the helper T cell, both the dendritic cells and the helper t-cells will release cytokines to activate other lymphocytes to attack the pathogen.

31 Cytotoxic T cells (Cell Mediated Response) have a CD8 receptor which help to recognize Class I MHC. The binding of the MHC molecules and the CD8 helps to activate and differentiate the cytotoxic T-cell. The helper T-cells that were previously activated by MHC class II cells release their cytokine and help further activate this process. The activated cytotoxic T-cell will release proteins that will then bind to the infected cell and cause it to die from apoptosis.

32 Human Physiology - Cell Mediated Immunity Human Physiology - Cell Mediated Immunity, Part 1 Human Physiology - Cell Mediated Immunity, Part 2

33 B cells (Humoral Response) a response to extracellular pathogens When B-cell comes in contact with a pathogen, it is bond to its antibody s variable region on its cell surface. Earlier, a Helper T-cell would have bound to a class II MHC dendritic cell which would have presented a fragments of that same pathogen. The helper T-cell will in turn bind to the B-cell with the same antigen and activate the B-cell through the release of cytokines. The activated B-cell will then divide and make more B-cells for secondary immune response or release antibodies which will circulate the body looking for more of the same pathogen.

34 B cells (Humoral Response) Similar to the other dendritic cells, it is able to engulf an antigen, break it into fragments and present it on its cell surface receptors. However, unlike the dendritic cells, the B-cells are highly specific and can only bind to one type of antigen. Most antigens contain a variety of different epitopes on its cell surface. Thus it is able to activate a variety of different B-cells. Each one of them proliferating and giving rise to many different memory cells and antibodies.

35 Human Physiology - Humoral Immunity

36 Antibody Mediated Disposal of Antigens Agglutination: clumps the bacteria or viruses so that they can be easily ingested by phagocytic cells. Complement system activation: Causes the protein to activate a channel that allows ions and water to flow into the cell, causing cell lysis.

37 Active vs. Passive Immunity Active Immunity: depends on a person s own lymphocytes and their development can also be triggered by vaccinations Activating lymphocytes so that they can have a good secondary response when exposed to the pathogen. Passive response: transferring antibodies from a person who has been infected by the pathogen to a person who has not been exposed will only last the lifespan of that particular antibody (about a week) the person will not become permanently immune to the pathogen
