Title: The Lymphatic System and Body Defenses Chapter 12b


1
The Lymphatic System and Body DefensesChapter
12b
2
Fever
  • Abnormally high body temperature
  • Normal 36.2C 98.2F
  • Hypothalmus heat regulation can be reset by
    pyrogens (secreted by white blood cells)
  • High temperatures inhibit the release of iron and
    zinc from liver and spleen needed by bacteria

3
  • Destroy enzymes
  • Fever also increases the speed of tissue repair

4
Specific Defense The Immune System Third Line
of Defense
  • 1st line- surface membrane barrier defensive
    cells
  • 2nd line inflammatory response
  • 3rd line
  • Antigen specific recognizes and acts against
    particular foreign substances
  • Systemic not restricted to the initial
    infection site
  • Has memory recognizes and mounts a stronger
    attack on previously encountered pathogens

5
Types of Immunity
  • Humoral (fluid) immunity
  • Antibody-mediated immunity
  • Cells produce chemicals for defense
  • Cellular immunity
  • Cell-mediated immunity
  • Cells target virus infected cells
  • Lymphs directly lyse foreign cells or release
    chemicals that increase inflammatory response

6
Antigens (Nonself)
  • Any substance capable of exciting the immune
    system and provoking an immune response
  • Examples of common antigens
  • Foreign proteins
  • Nucleic acids
  • Large carbohydrates
  • Some lipids
  • Pollen grains
  • Microorganisms

7
Self-Antigens
  • Human cells have many surface proteins
  • Our immune cells do not attack our own proteins
  • Our cells in another persons body can trigger an
    immune response because they are foreign
  • Restricts donors for transplants

8
Allergies
  • Many small molecules (called haptens or
    incomplete antigens) are not antigenic, but link
    up with our own proteins
  • The immune system may recognize and respond to a
    protein-hapten combination
  • The immune response is harmful rather than
    protective because it attacks our own cells

9
Common allergies
  • Poison ivy
  • Animal dander
  • Detergents
  • Hair dyes
  • penicillin

10
Cells of the Immune System
  • Lymphocytes
  • Originate from hemocytoblasts in the red bone
    marrow
  • B lymphocytes become immunocompetent in the bone
    marrow produce antibodies
  • T lymphocytes become immunocompetent in the
    thymus cell-mediated immunity
  • Macrophages
  • Arise from monocytes
  • Become widely distributed in lymphoid organs
  • Act as antigen presenters (foreign ags theyve
    eaten) to T lymphs

11
Activation of Lymphocytes
Figure 12.11
12
Humoral (Antibody-Mediated) Immune Response
  • B lymphocytes with specific receptors bind to a
    specific antigen
  • The binding event activates the lymphocyte to
    undergo clonal selection
  • A large number of clones are produced (primary
    humoral response)

13
Humoral (Antibody Mediated) Immune Response
  • Most B cells become plasma cells
  • Produce antibodies to destroy antigens (2000
    abs/second)
  • Activity lasts for four or five days, then plasma
    cell dies
  • Ab level peaks at 10 days then declines
  • Some B cells become long-lived memory cells
    (secondary humoral response)

14
Humoral Immune Response
Figure 12.12
15
Secondary Response
  • Memory cells are long-lived
  • A second exposure causes a rapid response
  • The secondary response is stronger and longer
    lasting
  • Ab peak at 2-3 days, remains high for weeks to
    months

Figure 12.13
16
Active Immunity
  • Your B cells encounter antigens and produce
    antibodies
  • Active immunity can be naturally or artificially
    acquired
  • Vaccines pneumonia, smallpox, polio, tetanus,
    etc.

Figure 12.14
17
Passive Immunity
  • Antibodies are obtained from someone else
  • Conferred naturally from a mother to her fetus
  • Conferred artificially from immune serum or gamma
    globulin used because disease would kill before
    active immunity develops
  • Exposure to hepatitis
  • Antivenom for snake bites
  • Antitoxin for botulism, rabies tetanus
  • Short lived

18
  • Immunological memory does not occur
  • Protection provided by borrowed antibodies

Monoclonal Antibodies
  • Antibodies prepared for clinical testing or
    diagnostic services
  • Cancer-fighting drugs
  • Produced from descendents of a single cell line
  • Examples of uses for monoclonal antibodies
  • Diagnosis of pregnancy
  • Treatment after exposure to hepatitis and rabies

21
Antibodies (Immunoglobulins) (Igs)
  • Soluble proteins secreted by B cells (plasma
    cells)
  • Carried in blood plasma
  • Capable of binding specifically to an antigen
  • 5 classes IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE, IgM

Figure 12.15a
22
Antibody Structure
  • Four amino acid chains linked by disulfide bonds
  • Two identical amino acid chains are linked to
    form a heavy chain 400 aa

Figure 12.15b
23
Antibody Structure
  • The other two identical chains are light chains
  • Specific antigen-binding sites are present

Figure 12.15b
24
Antibody Classes
  • Antibodies of each class have slightly different
    roles
  • Five major immunoglobulin classes
  • IgM can fix complement
  • IgA found mainly in mucus prevent pathogen
    from entering body
  • IgD important in activation of B cell
  • IgG can cross the placental barrier most
    abundant, can fix complement
  • IgE involved in allergies

25
  • IgD, IgG, and IgE are Y shaped monomers
  • IgA monomer dimer (2)
  • IgM pentamers (5)

26
Antibody Function
  • Antibodies inactivate antigens in a number of
    ways
  • Complement fixation causes lyses of cell
  • Neutralization- abs bind bacterial exotoxins
    viruses to block harmful effects
  • Agglutination- as in rbcs
  • Precipitation- soluble ag complex precipitates
    out eaten by phagocytes

28
Cellular (Cell-Mediated) Immune Response
  • Antigens must be presented by macrophages to an
    immunocompetent T cell (antigen presentation)
  • T cells must recognize nonself and self (double
    recognition)
  • After antigen binding, clones form as with B
    cells, but different classes of cells are produced

T Cell Clones
  • Cytotoxic T cells
  • Specialize in killing infected cells
  • Insert a toxic chemical (perforin) into foreign
    cell membrane
  • Helper T cells
  • Recruit other cells to fight the invaders
  • Interact directly with B cells
  • Release lymphokines

31
T Cell Clones
  • Suppressor T cells
  • Release chemicals to suppress the activity of T
    and B cells
  • Stop the immune response to prevent uncontrolled
    activity
  • A few members of each clone are memory cells

33
Organ Transplants and Rejection
  • Major types of grafts
  • Autografts tissue transplanted from one site to
    another on the same person
  • Isografts tissue grafts from an identical
    person (identical twin)
  • Allografts tissue taken from an unrelated
    person
  • Xenografts tissue taken from a different animal
    species

34
  • Transplant recipients need to be on
    immunosuppressor drugs
  • Suppresses their system against bacteria
    viruses too

35
Organ Transplants and Rejection
  • Autografts and isografts are ideal donors
  • Xenografts are never successful
  • Do use pig heart valves
  • Allografts are more successful with a closer
    tissue match

36
Disorders of Immunity Allergies
(Hypersensitivity)
  • Abnormal, vigorous immune responses
  • Types of allergies
  • Immediate hypersensitivity
  • Triggered by release of histamine from IgE
    binding to mast cells
  • Reactions begin within seconds of contact with
    allergen blood vessels dilate leak runny
    nose, itching
  • Anaphylactic shock dangerous, systemic response
  • Allergen enters blood circulates throughout
    body, ex. Bee sting use epinephrine

37
Disorders of Immunity Allergies
(Hypersensitivity)
  • Types of allergies (continued)
  • Delayed hypersensitivity
  • Triggered by the release of lymphokines from
    activated helper T cells
  • Symptoms usually appear 13 days after contact
    with antigen (ex. Poison ivy)
  • Most are contact dermatitis
  • Antihistamines dont work, use corticosteroids

38
Allergy Mechanisms

39
Disorders of Immunity Immunodeficiencies
  • Production or function of immune cells or
    complement is abnormal
  • May be congenital or acquired
  • SCID- severe combined immunodeficiency
  • ? B T cells, live in bubble, give bone marrow
    transplant
  • Includes AIDS Acquired Immune Deficiency
    Syndrome
  • ?T helper cells

40
Disorders of Immunity Autoimmune Diseases
  • The immune system does not distinguish between
    self and nonself
  • The body produces antibodies and sensitized T
    lymphocytes that attack its own tissues
  • 5 of adults, 2/3 are women

41
Disorders of Immunity Autoimmune Diseases
  • Examples of autoimmune diseases
  • Multiple sclerosis white matter of brain and
    spinal cord are destroyed
  • Myasthenia gravis impairs communication between
    nerves and skeletal muscles
  • Juvenile diabetes destroys pancreatic beta
    cells that produce insulin
  • Rheumatoid arthritis destroys joints

42
Disorders of Immunity Autoimmune Diseases
  • Examples of autoimmune diseases (continued)
  • Graves disease - thyroid
  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) affects
    kidney, heart, lung and skin
  • Glomerulonephritis impairment of renal function

43
Self Tolerance Breakdown
  • Inefficient lymphocyte programming
  • Self-reacting B or T lymphs are not eliminated,
    but escape into body
  • Appearance of self-proteins in the circulation
    that have not been exposed to the immune system
  • Eggs
  • Sperm
  • Eye lens

44
Self Tolerance Breakdown
  • Cross-reaction of antibodies produced against
    foreign antigens with self-antigens
  • Rheumatic fever
  • Streptococcus bacteria antibodies cross react
    with heart antigens, causing valve damage

45
Developmental Aspects of the Lymphatic System and
Body Defenses
  • Except for thymus and spleen, the lymphoid organs
    are poorly developed before birth
  • Lymph vessels bud from veins
  • See these nodes by 5th week of gestation
  • A newborn has no functioning lymphocytes at
    birth only passive immunity from the mother

46
  • If lymphatics are removed or lost, severe edema
    results, but vessels grow back in time
  • ex. mastectomy
