T cell responses are determined by *cytokines* **TH1:** activates cellular and antibody response - - - - - - **TH2:** mediates antibody response - - - - - - - T-cell help determines the nature of the immune response. Receptor-ligand interactions between T cells and B cells and cytokines associated with THI or TH2 determine the subsequent response. THI responses are initiated by interleukin (IL)-12 and delivered by interferon-y (IFN-V) and IL-2 to promote cell-mediated and immunoglobulin (lg)G production (solid blue lines) and inhibit TH2 responses (dotted blue lines). IL-4 and IL-5 from TH2 cells promote humoral responses (solid red lines), and IL-4 and IL-IO inhibit THI responses (dotted red lines). Mucosal epithelium promotes secretory lgA production. Colored boxes denote end results. t, Increase; W, decrease; ADCC, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity; APC, antigen-presenting cell; CTL, cytotoxic T lymphocyte; DCs, dendritic cells; DTH, delayed type hypersensitivity; GM-CSF, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; TNF, tumor necrosis factor.

Elicited toward carbohydrates. lgG, lgA, lgE to protein antigens require sufficient helper T cell activation to class switch, requires 8 days. Then, serum is predominantly lgG; levels could be maintained by long-lived plasma cells for years. Upon second exposure, heightened response appears (booster). Activation of preformed memory cells yields more rapid production of antibody, lasting longer and reaching a higher titre; typically lgG. ](media/image1.png) **PART 4** 1. 2. 3. **ANSWERS** 1. **Interferons =** first line of defense against viral infection - - - - - - - 2. **Immune responses** - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3. **Evading immune response:** - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - **PART 5** 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. **ANSWERS** 1. **Passive immunization:** involves injection of antibodies from a person who has immunity - - **Active immunization:** involves antigen challenge (exposure) and vaccines - - 2. **Inactivated vaccines:** use large amounts of antigens to produce protective antibody response without risk of infection - - - - - - - - - **Live vaccines:** prepared with microbes that have limited ability to cause disease (avirulent) - - - - - - - 3. **Wild-type viruses are attenuated by:** - - - 4. **Capuslar agents require conjugation:** - - - - Diphtheria toxoid Capsular polysaccharide conjugate vaccines. Capsular polysaccharides are poor immunogens, do not elicit T-cell help, and only elicit immunoglobulin (lg)M without memory. Capsule polysaccharide conjugated to a protein (e.g., diphtheria toxoid) binds to surface antipolysaccharide lgM on the B cell, the complex is internalized and processed, and then a peptide is presented on major histocompatibility complex Il (MHC Il) to CD4 T cells. The T cells become activated, produce cytokines, and promote immunoglobulin class switching for the polysaccharide-specific B cell. The B cell can become activated and make lgG, and memory cells will develop. TCR, T-cell receptor.
