Humoral Immunity•Antibody-mediated immunity in blood and lymph•Cells produce chemicals for defense2. Cellular immunity of the Cell-Mediated Immune System•Cell-mediated immunity•Cells target virally infected cellsAntigens (Nonself)Antigen: Any substance capable of exciting the immune system and provoking an immune responseExamples of common antigens•Foreign proteins•Nucleic acids•Large carbohydrates•Some lipids•Pollen grains•MicroorganismsAntigenic determinants: substances (like glycoproteins) on the surface of antigens to which the immune system actually respondsReceptor in the immune system that "fits" the antigenic determinantAntigenAntigensSelf-AntigensHuman cells have many surface proteins called major histocompatability complexes (MHC). All body cells have MHC Class I proteins. Our immune cells do not attack our own proteinsOur cells in another person’s body can trigger an immune response because they are foreign•Restricts donors for transplantsAllergiesMany small molecules (called haptens or incomplete antigens) are not antigenic, but link up with our own proteinsThe immune system may recognize and respond to a carrier-hapten combinationThis immune response can be harmful rather than protective because it can attack small molecules mounted on our own cells or small molecules normally found in the environment that bind to carriers allergy or autoimmunityHumoral (Innate) Immune Response• Distinction of Humoral/Innate versus Cell-Mediate Response• Antigens and Antigenic Determinants: Non-self and MHC proteins• Cell Types of the Humoral Response and How they Develop• B and T cell receptors and immunglobulines (antibodies)• Antibody Structure and Classes• Activation of B cells and Clonal Selection• Immunity and Secondary Response Time• Antibody Actions• Passive and Active Immunity• Monoclonal AntibodiesCells of the Immune SystemLymphocytes•Originate from hemocytoblasts in the red bone marrow•B lymphocytes become immunocompetent in the bone marrow•T lymphocytes become immunocompetent in the thymusMacrophages (certain mature granulocytes)•Arise from monocytes•Become widely distributed in lymphoid organsDevelopment of LymphocytesT cell maturation and "education"B Cell Receptors, T Cell Receptors, and ImmunoglobulinsB cellSecreted (Exported) Immunoglobulin or Antibody (Same V and C Regions as in B cell receptors)Variable (binding) regionsReceptors on T CellsConstant regionsReceptors on B cellsT cellHumoral (Innate) Immune Response• Distinction of Humoral/Innate versus Cell-Mediate Response• Antigens and Antigenic Determinants: Non-self and MHC proteins• Cell Types of the Humoral Response and How they Develop• B and T cell receptors and immunglobulines (antibodies)• Antibody Structure and Classes• Activation of B cells and Clonal Selection• Immunity and Secondary Response Time• Antibody Actions• Passive and Active Immunity• Monoclonal AntibodiesImmunoglobulins and Receptors Bind To AntigensAgglutination of antigensDifferent Classes of AntibodiesHumoral (Innate) Immune Response• Distinction of Humoral/Innate versus Cell-Mediate Response• Antigens and Antigenic Determinants:
