nonspecific ingested microbes non-specific defenses granulocytes (polymorphonuclear leukocytes) phagocytic white blood cells TLR - Toll-like receptors neutrophils -- 60-70% of white cells Giardia lamblia hepatitis A eosinophils - 2-5% of white cells multicellular threats basophils 0.5% of leukocytes degranulate - initiate inflammation monocytes - 5% of white cells NK cells large granular lymphocytes (LGL)
inflammatory response -- triggered by damaged tissues damage occurs (bacteria enter) bleeding - platelets begin clotting process cells at the site release cytokines mast cells degranulate releasing histamines neutrophils phagocytize foreign material monocytes arrive and mature into macrophages interferons anti-viral proteins secreted by virus-infected cells. complement system anti-microbial peptides in blood tissue repair macrophage cytokines neutrophil mast cell histamines macrophage cytokines specific specific bone marrow specific defenses (immune system) internal Lymphocytes B-cells antigens T-cells development of self vs. non-self b-cells - bone marrow t-cells - thymus lymphoid stem cell thymus B-cell T-cell blood, lymph, and lymphoid tissues (lymph nodes, spleen, and others)
self recognition antigen receptors - each cell has a single type of receptor B-cells T-cells MHC molecules class I MHC molecules bind to cytotoxic T-cells class II MHC molecules bind to helper T-cells during development, exposed to both types antigen presentation MHC molecules present protein fragments at cell surface some are foreign, some are not b-cell t-cell adaptive immune response antibodies enhance phagocytosis neutralize toxins cell lysis humoral humoral immunity cell-mediated 1st exposure mainly effective against bacteria, stimulates gives rise to engulfed viruses, and toxins in body fluids. antigen presenting cell cell-mediated immunity mainly effective against infected cells and cancerous cells b-cell cytotoxic t-cell helper t-cell clonal selection enhances helper t-cells leads to 2nd exposure plasma cells antibodies b-cells t-cells active cytotoxic t-cells
