    Study Notes

    Immune Response Complexity

    • The immune response consists of distinct components: humoral immunity (antibody-mediated) and cell-mediated immunity (T-cell response).
    • Adaptive immunity has several phases, including recognition, activation, and effector phases.

    Human Vaccination Milestone

    • In 1885, Louis Pasteur successfully vaccinated Joseph Meister against rabies, establishing a significant advancement in disease prevention.

    Immune System Function

    • The primary role of the immune system is to differentiate between self (the body's own cells) and non-self (foreign invaders).
    • Immune mechanisms involve attacking and eliminating microbial threats while avoiding damage to self-cells.

    Pathogen Types

    • The immune system targets two main categories of pathogens:
      • Extracellular organisms: bacteria, fungi, parasites.
      • Intracellular pathogens: primarily viruses.

    Inflammation

    • Inflammation is a crucial response in the immune system, aiding in the recruitment of immune cells to sites of infection or injury.

    Innate Immune Mechanisms

    • Innate immunity lacks memory, making it a first-line defense mechanism.
    • Innate immune receptors play a key role in recognizing pathogens and initiating responses.
    • The innate immune response involves the release of cytokines, which are signaling molecules that modulate immune responses.

    Immune Dysfunction

    • Immune dysfunction occurs in various forms and will be explored in more detail later in the course.
