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.
