Study Notes
- The text is about a course on Immunology and Medical Microbiology at Ross University School of Medicine, taught by Professor Raymond F Adebiyi.
- The course covers the functions and disorders of the immune system, with required and suggested reading materials provided.
- The learning objectives of the course include understanding the cells of the immune system, their functions, the role of primary and secondary lymphoid organs, the immune response and its principles, the characteristics of the innate and adaptive immune systems, and various applications of immunology.
- The immune system is based on two principles: recognition and self-discrimination.
- Cells of the immune system include lymphocytes, phagocytes, mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, and complement components.
- Innate immune responses include natural barriers, phagocytes, complement system, and cytokine production.
- Adaptive immune responses involve antigen-specific recognition, clonal expansion, memory, and diversity.
- Innate immune recognition is initiated by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that bind to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), while adaptive immune recognition is mediated by unique cell surface receptors (BCR and TCR) that bind to specific antigens.
- The immune response involves several phases: cognitive, activation, and effector phases.
- Innate immunity triggers responses through limited cognitive functions and relies on predetermined specificity, while adaptive immunity offers specificity and diversity through unique cell surface receptors and clonal expansion.
- Adaptive immunity includes B cells, T cells, and cytokines, which recognize antigens, secrete antibodies, and help other cells in the immune response.
- The immune system has various applications, including protection from disease, treatment of diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis and B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia), and vaccination prevention.
- The text covers the role of apoptosis in immunity and the differences between humoral and cell-mediated immunity.
- Topics also include the immune system's scope, prevention of disease through vaccination, and the immune response's phases: cognitive, activation, and effector phases.
