Classification of the Immune System
- Adaptative immune system
- Humoral immunity
- Mediated by B-cells
- Matures in the bone marrow
- Plasma cells
- Secretes antibodies
- Memory B-cells
- Produce plasma cells that directly secrete IgG antibodies in second exposure to antigen
- Cellular immunity
- Mediated by T-cells
- Active other immune cells to fully mature
- CD8+cytotoxic T-cells
- Induce apoptosis in target cells
- CD4+ helped T-cells
- Th1
- Activate macrophages to destroy pathogens
- B-cell activation roles
- Th2
- Interacts with B-cells mainly
- Th17
- Fight fungal infections
- Innate Immune System
- Response to an initial infection
- Immediate: 0-4 hours
- Infection
- Recognition by preformed, nonspecific and broadly specific effectors
- Removal of Infectious agent
- Consists of Cells and Proteins
- Main components
- Physical epithelial barriers
- Phagocytic leukocytes
- Dendritic cells
- Special type ok lymphocyte - Natural Killer cell (NK)
- Circulating plasma proteins
- Active Immune System
- Injection a person with
- Antigens
- Source of antibodies
- The person inoculated
- Method
- Injection with
- Attenuated pathogens
- Their toxins
- Time to develop resistance
- 5 to 14 days
- Duration of resistance
- Long (Perhaps years)
- When used
- Before Exposure to pathogen
- Passive Immune System
- Adquiere from the transfer of antibodies
- Produce by other person
- protection decreases in a short time
- Weeks or months
- Acquired Immunity
- Naturally
- Antibodies pass from mother to fetus
- Via placenta
- To infant in her milk
- Artificially
- Injection of immune serum
- Gamma globulin
