A lymphocyte: They display specificity for an antigen
There are:
B lymphocytes or cells and T lymphocytes or cells
They display:
Specificity
Diversity
Memory
Can distinguish self from nonself

Nonspecific Defenses
1. Skin
a) Oil and sweat glands keep pH about 3-5 and this prevents bacteria from inhabiting the area.
b) Lysozyme: an example of a protein that digests bacterial cell walls.
Found in eyes, upper respiratory tract.
2. Mucous
a) traps bacteria in respir. tract
b) action of cilia
5
3. Action of neutrophils
a) phagocytes
b) exhibit a chemotaxis: attracted by chemicals released by damaged cells
4. Monocytes
a) develop into macrophages that will engulf bacteria
b) attracted to the polysaccharides on the bacteria’s surface.
c) engulfed into a vacuole and then nitric oxide (NO) will destroy it.
5. Natural Killer Cells
a) attack virus-infected cells and cause the cells to lyse

Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)
1. There are genes that code for two types of distinguishing glycoproteins on a cell’s surface:
a) Class I MHC
b) Class II MHC
16
2. The Role of the MHC Glycoproteins
a) Antigen Presentation

Figure 43.11 The central role of helper T cells: a closer look
CD4: Helper T cell surface protein: binds to the presented antigen fragment of the APC
Upon activation by the APC, the TH cells will make many clones and also produce memory TH cells.
Once activated, a macrophage will make IL-1 which helps to make IL-2 which stimulates TH cells to divide as well as the production of B cells
TH cells: involved in both cell mediated and humoral responses.

MHC I Glycoprotein: all nucleated cells
Tumor Cells: present tumor antigens to Tc cells so the body can fight against tumors

Figure 43.13 Humoral response to a T-dependent antigen (Layer 3)
B cells can be stimulated by TH cells to make antibodies.
This is a T- dependent antigen.

Epitopes (antigenic determinants)
Epitopes: small portion of an antigen to which the
antibody binds.

Types of Immunity
1. Active Immunity
a) naturally acquired after an infection (chicken pox)
b) acquired by an immunization (vaccination)
c) person demonstrates the secondary response
2. Passive Immunity
a) antibodies acquired from another person
b) antibodies are passed from a mother’s breast milk to nursing child while the child’s immune system is
developing.
c) a rabies bitten person can receive antibodies from those vaccinated against rabies
32
Allergic Reactions
1. An allergen causes a specific kind of antibody IgE to be released from plasma cells and instead of binding to the allergen (pollen) they bind to mast cells that are present in connective tissue (ligaments, tendons, etc).
2. This causes the mast cells to release histamine
3. Histamine causes blood vessels to dilate and also increases their permeability so lots of fluid leaks out.
4. Antihistamine
5. Anaphylactic shock: allergic response is one of huge release of histamine and so much blood goes to periphery that blood pressure drops.
(bee stings, food allergies (peanuts)
Person takes a shot of epinephrine.

HIV MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
1. Retrovirus
2. Several strains of HIV
3. Binding and Entry
a) RNA has 9 different genes encoding 15 proteins.
b) Entry requires the fusion of the viral envelope with the host cell membrane.
c) The viral envelope interacts with specfic cell surface receptors.
d) gp120 is on the viral surface binds to the CD4 receptors on the T cells.
e) gp41
4. Virus attacks cells with CD4 receptors on TH cells(immune system cells)
5. Role of TH cells? Stimulates the immune system; they bind to MHC II APC’s which stimulates both cell mediated immunity and antibody secretion from plasma cells
40
6. HIV binds to probably several proteins: CD4 receptor, a fusin protein which allows for the envelope of the virus to join with the T cell and another receptor CCR5 which is on
macrophages.7. CXCR4 binds to T-cells in later stages of the disease.
8. In up to 13% of individualos of northern Eurpean descent, a naturally occurring deletion of 32 base pairs in the CCR5 gene results in a mutant CCR5 receptor that never reaches the cell surface.
a) Individuals homozygous for this mutation (1-2% of Caucasian population) are almost completely resistant to HIV infection.
9. Binding of gp120 and CD4 produces changes in gp41, it springs open and grabs the lipid bilayer of the target cell. This promotes fusion.
10. Detection for HIV antibodies: 1-12 months after exposure/infection.
