Objectives: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

What are the hallmarks of the innate immune system? Why adaptive immunity? Discussion

Why adaptive immunity? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The enemies are different….. FUNGUS - Epidermophyton floccosum (causes athlete’s foot) VIRUS- Polio BACTERIA - Clostridium difficile (causes antibiotic-associated colitis & diarrhea ) PARASITE - Tapeworm

… .therefore the responses must be tailored to specific enemies. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Humoral response: B cells ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Antibody-mediated effector mechanisms

COMPARISON OF T CELLS AND B CELLS Reproduced from Brock et al, Biology of microorganisms, 4 th ed. Bone marrow. Bone marrow; Bursa in birds Short-lived/long-lived Fairly mobile/stationary Complement receptors Surface immunoglobulins Antibody synthesis Effector: humoral only Origin: Bone marrow Maturation: Thymus Long-lived Highly mobile No complement receptors No surface Ig No antibody synthesis Effector: cellular & humoral B CELLS T CELLS
