    Study Notes

    Immunology 2 Module

    • Module is part of Biomedical Sciences
    • Tutor is Ms P Lazarou
    • Subject is focused on applying biomedical, behavioural, and material science principles to dental therapy and hygiene practices
    • Aims to develop knowledge and understanding of immunology
    • Learning outcomes include reviewing antibody-mediated and cell-mediated immunity, defining differences between the two types, and understanding passive and active immunization

    Assessment

    • Formative assessment includes a quiz
    • Summative assessment involves questions integrated into the Biomedical Sciences eAssessment

    Immunology 2: Tasks

    • Task 1: Read and complete a task on an article about antibody-mediated vs cell-mediated immunity (pages 5-8)
    • Task 2: Complete a self-assessment quiz on antibody-mediated and cell-mediated immunity

    Intended Learning Outcomes

    • Review antibody-mediated and cell-mediated immunity by using resources and completing a self-assessment quiz
    • Define and understand variances between antibody-mediated and cell-mediated immunity
    • Recognise and explain passive and active immunizations

    Antibody-mediated and Cell-mediated Immunity - Consolidation

    • The Cellular Immune Response (YouTube link included)
    • Antigen Processing and Presentation (YouTube link included)

    Humoral vs Cellular Immunity

    • Diagrams showing differences in processes (Humoral and Cellular Immunity)
      • Humoral: extracellular microbes, B-lymphocytes, antibody secretion (neutralization, lysis(complement), phagocytosis)
      • Cellular: intracellular microbes, antigen presenting cell, helper T cells, T cell receptor, proliferation of effectors cells, lysis of infected cells

    Passive and Active Immunity

    • Natural passive immunity: mother's antibodies via placenta/breast milk
    • Artificial passive immunity: transfer of antibodies (e.g., snake antitoxin, immunoglobulin)
    • Natural active immunity: antibodies developed in response to infections
    • Artificial active immunity: antibodies developed through vaccinations
    • Transfer of antibodies/sensitized cells from immune person to non-immune person; Short duration of protection; Risk of loss of immunity
    • Used when risk of infection is high/patient cannot generate their own immunity

    Immunisation

    • Artificial Active Immunity: antibodies developed after immunization/vaccine administration
    • Immunological memory: a specific immune reaction induced against a weakened/killed microorganism; subsequent infections trigger a stronger and faster immune response via antibodies and/or cells; antibodies attach to antigens activating complement system

    How Vaccines Work

    • Small amount of harmless form of a disease is introduced
    • Body produces antibodies to fight the introduced harmless form
    • If the real disease is encountered, the body already has the antibodies and is immune
    • YouTube link included

    References

    • An introduction to immunology and immunopathology (article)
    • Essentials of Pathology for Dentistry (book)
    • Allergy related information (website link)
    • Report on autoimmune awareness/Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (website links)
    • Immunology website references on Immunodeficiency and related topics
