Study Notes
Immunity Types
- Adaptive immunity develops slowly and produces memory cells that permit a rapid response upon re-exposure to the same specific microbe.
- Innate immunity involves leukocytes, defensins, complement, lysozyme, and interferons.
Lymphoid Organs
- Primary lymphoid organs: bone marrow, thymus
- Secondary lymphoid organs: spleen, lymph nodes, lymphoid tissues associated with mucosal surfaces
Physical Barriers and Phagocytosis
- Physical barriers: skin, mucous membranes, epithelial linings; prevent infections or penetration of the host body
- Cells that remove bacteria, fungi, and parasites: phagocytic cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages
Recognition and Binding
- Receptors on leukocytes: Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs), allow recognition and binding of invaders
Cell Functions
- Cells that destroy unhealthy host cells: cytotoxic cells (e.g., cytotoxic T cells, natural killer cells)
- Cells that become activated against specific invaders: T cells (e.g., CD4+, CD8+)
Cytokines
- Roles in immune responses: coordinate immune response, stimulate immune cell activation and differentiation, and regulate the intensity and duration of immune responses
- NOT a role of cytokines: structural barrier function
- Characteristic of cytokines: pleiotropy (one cytokine affects multiple cell types)
- Cells primarily coordinated by cytokines: immune cells, such as T cells and macrophages
