before any
exposure
- @ birth
- nonspecific
(small set of
receptors)
- rapid response
- present
before any
exposure

- phagocytic cells
- HEMOCYTES in
invertebrates

- recognizes
pathogens
by TLRs
- white blood cell eats

w/lysosome to
destroy it

- NEUTROPHILS engulf & destroy
- MACROPHAGES found all over
- DENDRITIC CELLS stimulate adaptive i.
- eosinophils discharge destructive enzymes
- HEMOCYTES in
invertebrates
- NATURAL KILLER CELLS
- circulate in body & detect abnormal cells
- release chemicals > apoptosis

- antimicrobial
proteins
- lysozyme
- INTERFERON
interferes w/virus,
helps activate
macrophages
- COMPLEMENT
SYSTEM causes lysis
& helps trigger
inflammation
- lysozyme
- inflammatory
response
- MAST CELLS release HISTAMINES
- blood vessels dilate
- neutrophils phagocytosize pathogens
- neutrophils phagocytosize pathogens
- blood vessels dilate
- activated macrophages &
neutrophils > CYTOKINES
(enhance immune response)
- local vs. systemic
- septic shock

- phagocytic cells
- characteristics
- ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY
- characteristics
- develops after exposure
- v. specific (vast
array of
receptors)
- slower response
- develops after exposure
- humoral response
- antibodies vs.
pathogens in body fluids
- H-T cell binds to
pathogen via
class II MHC
- cytokines from
H-T cells > B cell
proliferates
- makes memory B cells &
PLASMA CELLS
(antibody-secreting effectors)
- makes memory B cells &
PLASMA CELLS
(antibody-secreting effectors)
- cytokines from
H-T cells > B cell
proliferates
- H-T cell binds to
pathogen via
class II MHC
- B cell a.r. binds to antigen
- cells secrete ANTIBODIES (Ig)
Annotations:
- similar to b antigen receptors only not attached to the b cell
- marks
pathogen for
destruction
- opsonization (making
targets for
phagocytosis
- antigen-antibody complex +
complement protein >
complement protein
activation > pores > lysis
- opsonization (making
targets for
phagocytosis
- bind to pathogen
surface proteins to
prevent infection
- bind to toxins in
fluids to stop them
from entering body
cells
- bind to toxins in

cells
- classes of Ig
- IgD:
membrane
bound
- IgM: 1st
soluble
produced
- igG: 2nd
soluble, must
abundant
- IgA & IgE:
soluble
- IgD:
membrane
bound
- light vs heavy regions
- variable vs. constant regions
- cells secrete ANTIBODIES (Ig)
- antibodies vs.
pathogens in body fluids
- relies on T (thymus)
and B (bone)
LYMPHOCYTES
- ANTIGEN substance that
causes response from T/B cell
- ANTIGEN RECEPTOR on T/B cells
activate them when they come
into contact w/pathogens
- EPITOPE bit of antigen that
binds to antigen receptor
- ANTIGEN RECEPTOR on T/B cells
activate them when they come
into contact w/pathogens
- ANTIGEN substance that
causes response from T/B cell
- cell mediated response
- CYTOTOXIC T CELLS vs
infected body cells
- helper T cell cytokines
- recognize frag of foreign proteins
from infected cells
- bind to class I MHC
- secretes proteins that disrupt
membranes of target cells >
apoptosis
- secretes proteins that disrupt
membranes of target cells >
apoptosis
- bind to class I MHC
- recognize frag of foreign proteins
from infected cells
- helper T cell cytokines
- alpha and beta chains
- variable vs

- CYTOTOXIC T CELLS vs
infected body cells
- B & T cell development
- diversity of lymphocytes & receptors
- rearrangement of
same gene > variety
of chains
- rearrangement of

- self tolerance
- lymphocytes tested for
receptors that may be
spec. to body's own

- CLONAL SELECTION
- CLONAL SELECTION
- immunological memory
- EFFECTOR CELLS act immediately
- MEMORY CELLS make
effector cells if antigen is
encountered again
- PRIMARY vs. SECONDARY immune response
- EFFECTOR CELLS act immediately
- diversity of lymphocytes & receptors
- HELPER T CELLS trigger both h
and c-m responses
- signals from H-T > antibodies >
pathogens neutralized + T cells
activated
- ANTIGEN PRESENTING-CELLS have
MHC molecules
- MHC binds to helper T cell
- H-T cell activated
- proliferates & forms clone
- activates appropropriate
