Study Notes
Immunology 2 Module
- Tutor: Ms P Lazarou
- Module: Biomedical Sciences
- Learning Outcomes (GDC 1.1): Develop dental therapy and dental hygiene principles from biomedical, behavioral, and materials sciences, to build knowledge from immunology studies.
Assessment
- Formative: Quiz
- Summative: Questions included in Biomedical Sciences assessment
Immunology 2 Content
- Task 1: Study article "Antibody-mediated vs cell-mediate immunity" (pages 5-8).
- Task 2: Complete self-assessment quiz on antibody-mediated and cell-mediated immunity.
Intended Learning Outcomes
- Review antibody and cell-mediated immunity using resources and a self-assessment quiz.
- Define and understand differences between antibody-mediated and cell-mediated immunity.
- Understand passive and active immunizations.
Consolidation of Learning
- Watch YouTube video "The Cellular Immune Response" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUpcRfpEh3c).
- Watch YouTube video "ANTIGEN PROCESSING AND PRESENTATION" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bgd1qxQ0Dh4&feature=emb_logo).
Antibody-mediated and Cell-mediated Immunity Overview
-
Humoral Immunity: Antibody production by B lymphocytes targets extracellular microbes (e.g., bacteria). Antibodies mediate neutralization, lysis, and phagocytosis.
-
Cellular Immunity: T cells target intracellular microbes (e.g., viruses). Antigen-presenting cells process and present antigens to T cells. Helper T cells activate immune responses, cytotoxic T cells directly kill infected cells.
Passive and Active Immunity
-
Passive Immunity: Antibodies transferred (e.g., from mother's milk, artificial treatments like antitoxins). Short-lasting protection.
-
Natural Active Immunity: Antibodies develop within response to infection. Long-lasting immunity due to immunological memory.
-
Artificial Active Immunity: Antibodies developed as result of vaccines (immunization). A weakened or killed microorganism creates memory.
Immunisation
- Artificial Active Immunity: Vaccines trigger antibody production after administration. Immunological memory develops from weakened/killed microorganism. Subsequent infections raise stronger, faster immune responses.
How Vaccines Work
-
A harmless version of a disease is introduced to train the body to make antibodies.
-
Later exposure to the disease will trigger immune responses.
