Immunity : The Immune system plays a role in combating infection, creating
inflammation (& consequently heart disease), controlling (or not) cancer and in auto-immune diseases.
Immune modulator molecules or cytokines and leukotrienes which are produced by the immune system can interact with most cells of the body
The immune system consists of organs, vessels, and cells that can be specific to a particular organism or “antigen” or non-specific. Some cells can identify foreign or damaged cells or microbes, others can kill in various ways.

Organs and cells of the Immune System
Organs of the immune system include the bone marrow where white blood cells are differentiated, the lymphoid organs (spleen, tonsils, appendix, lymph nodes) where lymphocytes live, and he lymphatic vessels where lymph is found.
Cells of the immune system include lymphocytes (many types), other white blood cells (neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils), macrophages (found everywhere), and other dendritic cells.

Non-Specific immunity

White Blood cellsLymphocytes of the immune system in transit (20%)
Macrophages (the “eaters” of the immune system in transit) as monocytes (8%)
Neutrophils one of he best “eaters” of bacteria (70%) They leave blood vessels under signals from other immune system cells like macrophages
Other cells of the immune system such as basophils and eosinophils which has granules in their cytoplasm they can exocytose containing heparin and histamine (basophils) or toxic lysosome contents (eosinophils)

The lymphatic system is the
body’s surveillance
system .
It is made up of lymph nodes connected by
vessels that have lymph flowing in
them, and lymphoid organs.
The Lymphatic System

Lymph enters the vessels in the tissues all over the
body as more plasma
leaves arteries than enters veins.

Lymph vessels have
valves to prevent
backflow

In addition to lymph nodes there are other lymphoid tissues that
guard entry or transition such as tonsils or
appendix

The spleen filters blood through lymphocytic tissue and also through screening for red blood
cell damage or decay

Thymus is a gland that is
larger in children--- it matures T-
cells

Lymph nodes have entry and exit vessels and pathways where
the fluid flows through large numbers of
lymphocytes

Lymphocytes: cells of the specific immune systemSurveillance, intelligence, antibody
production and cytotoxic killers
• Three main types of lymphocytes are T-cells and B-cells.
• 10% are NK cells
• 15% are B-cells make antibodies
• 80% T-cells are cytotoxic killer cells, control of the immune response (suppressor T-cells), and the coordinators of the immune response (helper T-cells)
![Page 13: Immunity :](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081421/568164ea550346895dd7559c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Lymphocytes are made in bone marrow from stem cells and matured either in bone marrow (B-cells) or in the
thymus (T-cells)
![Page 15: Immunity :](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081421/568164ea550346895dd7559c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Membrane Proteins and LymphocytesAll cells make proteins called major histocompatitibity proteins (MHC) that pick up fragments of peptides and places them in the membrane.
This allows the immune system to recognize that the cell is(a) self and (b) normal, not infected, malignant or damaged.
![Page 16: Immunity :](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081421/568164ea550346895dd7559c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Membrane Proteins and Lymphocytes
Some cells, such as macrophages, can eat bacteria or other microbes and break them up.
They make MHC Class II proteins which can “present” the antigen in the membrane for lymphocytes to “see” it.
![Page 17: Immunity :](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081421/568164ea550346895dd7559c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Lymphocytes (2) Antibody producing B-cells
B-cells have receptors (IgD) in their membranes where they can bind
antigens.
An antigen is a small fragment of a protein or lipoprotein from an organism or other invader (or from a cat saliva
protein)
The B-cell takes in the antigen and makes an MHC class II protein
containing the antigen that can then be “presented” to a helper T-cell which will
confirm that it is an invader or other undesirable

Lymphocytes (3) T-cells
• There are 2 main types of T-cells identified by membrane markers CD4 and CD8.
• All T-cells and B-cells make memory cells
• CD8 T-cells are killer T-cells and suppressor T-cells
• CD4 T-cells are Helper T-cells

How Vaccines work
Exposure to a part of an organism, an attenuated organism or a tiny dose of live organism stimulates the immune system to form memory cells
Some response needs more than one exposure to get good coverage (examples are hepatitis B, human papilloma virus)
