Response
Also known as effector function.
Eliminate or neutralize foreign organisms.
Later exposure to same foreign organism memory response heightened immune reactivity.

Mucous membranes of the respiratory/GI/Urogenital tracts
Secrete mucuc traps microorganisms and expels them by movement of celia.

Physiologic Barriers
Temperature
pH
Soluble factors
Gastric juice acidic organisms can’t survive.
Newborns less acidic gastric juice more susceptible to infections.

T cells recognizing self MHC molecules are released from thymus.
Positive Selection
Negative Selection
Self-reactive thymocytes (i.e. recognise MHC + self antigen)are eliminated.
![Page 40: Introduction to immune system (lecture1).ppt](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/555bb951d8b42a0d0f8b4e48/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Lymph is produced from plasma seeping through thincapillary walls.
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
Lymph Nodes
Contain Lymphocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells.
Cortex, paracortex and inner medulla.
![Page 41: Introduction to immune system (lecture1).ppt](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/555bb951d8b42a0d0f8b4e48/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Cortex = B lymphocytes and macrophages B cells differentiate into plasma and memory cells.
Paracortex = T lymphocytes and dendritic cells.

Humoral and Cell-Mediated Immunity
“Immunity conferred on a nonimmune individual by administration of serum antibodies from an immune individual”
Humoral Immunity
Antibodies produced interact with antigens and the antigenis then eliminated.
![Page 43: Introduction to immune system (lecture1).ppt](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/555bb951d8b42a0d0f8b4e48/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Cell-Mediated Immunity
“Immunity only transferred on by T cells”
Cytokines secreted by TH cells activate phagocytic cells + B cells.
![Page 44: Introduction to immune system (lecture1).ppt](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/555bb951d8b42a0d0f8b4e48/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Recognition Of Antigen by B and T Lymphocytes
Lymphocytes recognise DISCRETE sites on the antigen called EPITOPES.
B cells recognise epitopes alone.T cells recognise epitopes in association with MHC moleculeon the surface of a self cell.
Humoral branch: Recognise enormous variety of epitopeson bacteria, viruses and soluble proteins from invading pathogens.
![Page 45: Introduction to immune system (lecture1).ppt](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/555bb951d8b42a0d0f8b4e48/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Cell-Mediated branch: Recognise altered self cells such asa virus-infected self cell and a cancerous cells.
Generation of Lymphocyte Specificity and Diversity
Mature immunocompetent humans contain large numbers ofantigen-reactive clones of B and T cells.
Specificity of each clone is determined by random rearrangements in the bone marrow during maturation of the lymphocytes.
![Page 46: Introduction to immune system (lecture1).ppt](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/555bb951d8b42a0d0f8b4e48/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Antigen processing and Presentation
Processing “Conversion of proteins into MHC-associated peptide fragments”
Presentation of antigen with MHCI or MHCII molecules is determined by route of entry of antigen into the cell.
![Page 47: Introduction to immune system (lecture1).ppt](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/555bb951d8b42a0d0f8b4e48/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Endogenous Antigens
Produced within the host cell.
Degraded endogenously into peptide fragments.
Associated with class MHCI molecule.
Examples are viral proteins within cells and unique proteinssynthesized by cancerous cells.
