The need of a humoral immunity
• Microorganisms multiply in the fluid compartments i.e. ECF and blood, therefore needs a soluble agent to act on !
• Antibodies stick to microorganisms in the fluid compartments of the body

Components in the Humoral immunity
Cellular component• B cells• Plasma cells• T cells• Macrophages
Molecular component• Immunoglobulins (Antibodies)• Complement proteins
![Page 4: Humoral Immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143a3550346895db024cc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
B cell• B cells are lymphocytes and mature in the bone marrow.• Express immunoglobulin receptor (IgM or IgD) on the cell surface called B cell receptor (BCR).• Different types of B cells are found (Naïve, Activated, Memory)• B cells secrete antigen specific immunoglobulins which circulate as antibodies.
IgM or IgD

Plasma cell
• Fully differentiated B cells form Plasma cells and secrete antibodies
• Has a different morphology and adapted to Secretory function

Antibodies
![Page 7: Humoral Immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143a3550346895db024cc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Structure of a typical antibody (IgG molecule)
1. Globular proteins in the serum are immunoglobulins2. Typical immunoglobulin molecule consists of
a) 2 heavy chains (450-600 a.acids)b) 2 light chains (230 a.acids)
3. These are cross linked by disulphide bonds
![Page 8: Humoral Immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143a3550346895db024cc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Immunoglobulin molecule has Two functional regions
1. Variable region (‘V’ region) For antigen binding
2. Constant region (‘C’ region) For effector functions of antibodies• Complement activation• Fc receptor activation• Placental transfer

Humoral Immune Response
(sequence of events in antibody mediated immunity)
![Page 17: Humoral Immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143a3550346895db024cc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Humoral Immune ResponseAntigen binding to BCR
&B cell Activation
Proliferation of B cells (clonal expansion)
Antibody production by plasma cells
Effector mechanisms of antibodies1. Neutralization2. Opsonization3. Complement activation
![Page 18: Humoral Immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143a3550346895db024cc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1. B cell activation
•Antigenic stimulation / Binding starts the B cell activation
•First signal is sent through BCR
•Second signals are sent through co-receptors (CD 40/40L)
![Page 19: Humoral Immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143a3550346895db024cc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Types of B cell activation
T cell independent activation
T cell dependent activation
![Page 20: Humoral Immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143a3550346895db024cc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
For B cells (right panel), the second signal is usually delivered by an activated T cell.
For T cells second signal is delivered by a professional antigen-presenting cell such as dendritic cell.
Signaling that occurs during cell-cell interaction: comparison between ‘APC-T cell’ and ‘B cell-T cell’

2. B cells proliferation and differentiation
1. 1st signalling through Ag-BCR2. 2nd signalling through CD40-CD40L3. IL4 drives B cells to proliferate
![Page 22: Humoral Immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143a3550346895db024cc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
During B cell proliferation, mutations (somatic hyper mutation) generate many clones of B cells bearing surface BCRs with different affinities towards the same antigen

Primary Immune response• Immune response which occurs by activation of naïve
B cells by encountering the relevant antigen for the first time
• Takes some time to mount this immune response (7-14 days)
• Produces IgM antibodies• Disappears rapidly• Produces memory B cells• Indicates an acute infection
![Page 25: Humoral Immunity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143a3550346895db024cc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Secondary Immune response
• Subsequent encountering of the same antigen by memory B cells produces antibodies rapidly and in a larger quantity (titer)
• The type of antibody is IgG (class switching has occurred)
• Indicates the protective immunity• May last a longer period
