Study Notes

Immune System Overview

  • Pyrogens specifically target the hypothalamus to regulate body temperature during fevers.
  • Primary response refers to the immune system's initial response to a specific pathogen.
  • Secondary response is a faster and more robust reaction upon re-exposure to the same pathogen.

Immune Responses

  • First and secondary responses highlight the difference in speed and intensity when encountering an antigen for the first and subsequent times.
  • IgM is the first antibody produced during an immune response.
  • IgG is the most prevalent antibody in blood and provides long-lasting immunity after an infection.

Immune Surveillance

  • Natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in immune surveillance by detecting and destroying unhealthy or infected cells.

Inflammation Symptoms

  • Signs of inflammation include redness, pain, and swelling, indicating an immune response to injury or infection.

Leukocyte Formation

  • Leukocytes (white blood cells) are primarily formed in the red bone marrow.

Types of Immunity

  • Antibody-mediated immunity is also known as humoral immunity, involving the action of antibodies against pathogens.
  • Passive immunity is immunity gained from antibodies produced by another individual.

Infectious Agents

  • Eukaryotic infectious agents include multicellular parasites, fungi, and protozoans.
  • Molds and yeast are types of fungi, known for their role in various infections.

Bacterial Characteristics

  • Bacteria are single-celled organisms typically ranging from 1 to 2 micrometers in size.

Antibody Dynamics

  • The concentration of antibodies against a specific antigen in blood is termed the antibody titer.
  • Fever is beneficial as it promotes interferon activity, inhibits bacterial reproduction, and accelerates tissue repair.

Immune Cells

  • Alveolar macrophages are specific immune cells found in the lungs, playing a role in respiratory health.
  • Common phagocytes include macrophages and neutrophils, essential for engulfing pathogens.

Hypersensitivity and Allergies

  • Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is linked to acute hypersensitivities and allergic reactions.
  • Phases of acute hypersensitivity reactions include sensitization, activation, and effector phases.

Immunoglobulin Insights

  • IgE is notably involved in allergic reactions and response to parasitic infections.
  • Immunoglobulin G (IgG) can cross the placenta, making it crucial for fetal immunity, and is the predominant antibody in lymphatic fluid.

T Cell Activation

  • Cytotoxic T cell activation involves several steps, including antigen presentation, binding, stimulation by IL-2, and proliferation.
  • Helper T cell activation similarly requires antigen processing by antigen-presenting cells (APCs).

Disorders and Antibody Actions

  • Autoimmune disorders arise when the immune system misidentifies self-antigens as foreign.
  • Neutralization occurs when antibodies coat a virus, preventing it from infecting cells.
  • Antibody-mediated actions include agglutination, precipitation, and neutralization of pathogens.

Core Body Temperature and Immunity

  • A core body temperature of 109 degrees Fahrenheit can be fatal, highlighting the risks of extreme fever.

Antimicrobial Substances

  • Skin and mucous membranes release antimicrobial substances such as lysozyme, sebum, and immunoglobulin A to protect against pathogens.

Lymphocyte Maturation

  • Lymphocytes undergo immunocompetence testing in the bone marrow and thymus gland, ensuring they can function properly in the immune response.
