The Formed ElementsThe Formed Elements
• Produced in red bone marrow• Hematopoietic (blood-forming) Hematopoietic (blood-forming)
stem cellsstem cells can develop into any blood cell
• Stem cells are short-lived tissue cells

Lymphoid tissue is primarily localized in the lymph nodes of the lymphatic system and is also in the spleen, thymus, and bone marrow.
Several classes of white cells are produced, including the lymphocytes, monocytes and macrophages.

How Do Infections Occur?How Do Infections Occur?
Factors involved in infection1. Portal of entry2. Virulence of organism
• Aggressiveness• Toxin production
3. Dose (number) of pathogens4. Individual condition
(predisposition) to infection

The Immune SystemThe Immune System
Types of general body defenses against disease
• Nonspecific defenses• Effective against any harmful
agent• Specific defenses
• Effective against a certain agent only

Phagocytosis
White blood cells take in and destroy waste and foreign material
• Neutrophils• Macrophages

Natural Killer CellsType of lymphocyte• Can recognize body cells with
abnormal membranes• Found in lymph nodes, spleen, bone
marrow, blood• Secrete protein that breaks down cell
membrane

InflammationInfection is inflammation caused by
pathogens• Inflammatory reaction
• Heat, redness, swelling, pain• Leukocytes enter tissue• Pus is produced• Lymph nodes enlarge

FeverAs phagocytes work, they release
substances that raise body temperature• Stimulates phagocytes• Increases metabolism• Decreases some organisms’ ability to
multiply
![Page 17: Overview of the Immune System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56815e4f550346895dccc804/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Interferon• Group of substances that prevent
nearby cells from producing more virus• IFN a (alpha)• IFN b (beta)• IFN g (gamma)
• Also acts nonspecifically on immune system cells

Antigens
Foreign substances that • Enter body • Induce immune response of certain
lymphocytes• T cells• B cells
![Page 24: Overview of the Immune System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56815e4f550346895dccc804/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
T CellsOriginate in stem cells in bone marrow• Change to T cells in thymus• Become sensitized to specific antigens• Produce cell-mediated immunity
• Cytoxic T cells• Helper T cells - interleukins• Inhibitory/Regulatory T cells • Memory T cells
• Macrophages

1. Cytoxic T cells - destroy2. Helper T cells - interleukins3. Regulatory T cells - inhibit4. Memory T cells – don’t engage
Cluster of Differentiation 4 : CD4 - a glycoprotein that is found primarily on the surface of helper T cells; "CD4 is a receptor for HIV in humans"

B Cells and AntibodiesAntibody (Ab) also known as
immunoglobulin (Ig) is a substance produced in response to antigen
• Manufactured by B cells (B lymphocytes)• Must mature in fetal liver or in lymphoid
tissue• Provides humoral immunity• Contained in gamma globulin fraction of
blood plasma
![Page 29: Overview of the Immune System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56815e4f550346895dccc804/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Activation of B cells. The B cell combines with a specific antigen. The cell divides to form plasma cells, which produce antibodies. Some of the cells develop into memory cells, which protect against reinfection.
What two types of cells develop from activated B cells?

The Antigen–Antibody Reaction
ComplementComplement is the enzymatic activity of a group of nonspecific proteins in blood:
• Coats foreign cells• Destroys cells• Promotes inflammation• Attracts phagocytes

Naturally Acquired Immunity
Immunity acquired through contact with a specific disease organism
• Active immunity• Passive immunity
![Page 35: Overview of the Immune System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56815e4f550346895dccc804/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

![Page 36: Overview of the Immune System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56815e4f550346895dccc804/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Artificially Acquired Immunity
Vaccination (immunization) can cause a person’s immune system to manufacture antibodies
• Preventive measure• Risk of side effects
![Page 37: Overview of the Immune System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56815e4f550346895dccc804/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Types of Vaccines
• Live• Attenuated• Toxoid• Killed by heat or chemicals• Antigenic component• Genetically engineered
![Page 38: Overview of the Immune System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56815e4f550346895dccc804/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Boosters
• Active immunity does not always last a lifetime
• Repeated inoculations (booster shots) help maintain high titer of antibodies in the blood
• Number and timing varies with vaccines
![Page 39: Overview of the Immune System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56815e4f550346895dccc804/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Passive Immunization
Acquired by administration of immune serum (antiserum)
• Short-lived immunity• Used in emergencies• Often derived from animals• May cause sensitivity reaction
