A lymphocyte: They display specificity for an antigen
There are:
B lymphocytes or cells and
T lymphocytes or cells
They display:
Specificity
Diversity
Memory
Can distinguish self from nonself

Nonspecific Defenses
1. Skin
a) Oil and sweat glands keep pH about 3-5 and this prevents
bacteria from inhabiting the area.
b) Lysozyme: an example of a protein that digests bacterial
cell walls.
Found in eyes, upper respiratory tract.
2. Mucous
a) traps bacteria in respir. tract
b) action of cilia
4
3. Action of neutrophils
a) phagocytes
b) exhibit a chemotaxis: attracted by chemicals released by
damaged cells
4. Monocytes
a) develop into macrophages that will engulf bacteria
b) attracted to the polysaccharides on the bacteria’s surface.
c) engulfed into a vacuole and then nitric oxide (NO) will
destroy it.
5. Natural Killer Cells
a) attack virus-infected cells and cause the cells to lyse

14
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)
1. There are genes that code for two types of distinguishing
glycoproteins on a cell’s surface:
a) Class I MHC
b) Class II MHC
15
2. The Role of the MHC Glycoproteins
a) Antigen Presentation

Figure 43.11 The central role of helper T cells: a closer look
TH cells: involved in both cell
mediated and humoral responses.
CD4: Helper T cell surface protein:
binds to the presented antigen fragment
of the APC
Upon activation by the APC, the TH cells
will make many clones and also produce
memory TH cells.
Once activated, a macrophage
will make IL-1 which helps to
make IL-2 which stimulates TH
cells to divide as well as the
18
production of B cells

cells
Tumor Cells: present tumor
antigens to Tc cells so the body can
fight against tumors

to make antibodies.
This is a T- dependent
antigen.

Epitopes: small portion of an antigen to which the
antibody binds.

Types of Immunity
1. Active Immunity
a) naturally acquired after an infection (chicken pox)
b) acquired by an immunization (vaccination)
c) person demonstrates the secondary response
2. Passive Immunity
a) antibodies acquired from another person
b) antibodies are passed from a mother’s breast milk to
nursing child while the child’s immune system is
developing.
c) a rabies bitten person can receive antibodies from those
vaccinated against rabies
31
Allergic Reactions
1. An allergen causes a specific kind of antibody IgE to be
released from plasma cells and instead of binding to the
allergen (pollen) they bind to mast cells that are present in
connective tissue (ligaments, tendons, etc).
2. This causes the mast cells to release histamine
3. Histamine causes blood vessels to dilate and also increases
their permeability so lots of fluid leaks out.
4. Antihistamine
5. Anaphylactic shock: allergic response is one of huge release
of histamine and so much blood goes to periphery that blood
pressure drops.
(bee stings, food allergies (peanuts)

HIV MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
1.
Retrovirus
2.
Several strains of HIV
3.
Binding and Entry
a)
RNA has 9 different genes encoding 15 proteins.
b)
Entry requires the fusion of the viral envelope with the host cell
membrane.
c)
The viral envelope interacts with specfic cell surface receptors.
d)
gp120 is on the viral surface binds to the CD4 receptors on the T
cells.
e)
gp41
4.
Virus attacks cells with CD4 receptors on TH cells(immune system cells)
5.
Role of TH cells? Stimulates the immune system; they bind to MHC II
APC’s which stimulates both cell mediated immunity and antibody
secretion from plasma cells
39
6.
HIV binds to probably several proteins: CD4 receptor, a fusin
protein which allows for the envelope of the virus to join with
the T cell and another receptor CCR5 which is on
macrophages.
7.
8.
CXCR4 binds to T-cells in later stages of the disease.
In up to 13% of individualos of northern Eurpean descent, a
naturally occurring deletion of 32 base pairs in the CCR5 gene
results in a mutant CCR5 receptor that never reaches the cell
surface.
a)
9.
10.
Individuals homozygous for this mutation (1-2% of Caucasian
population) are almost completely resistant to HIV infection.
Binding of gp120 and CD4 produces changes in gp41, it springs
open and grabs the lipid bilayer of the target cell. This
promotes fusion.
Detection for HIV antibodies: 1-12 months after
exposure/infection.
