Pus cells
Natural Killer cells
Also called NK T cells
Larger than T and B cells
Activated during the innate
response by macrophage derived
cytokines
Eg. IL-12 and Interferons
Produce IFN- when activated
Kills cells infected with intracellular
pathogens
Mechanism of Killing is similar to
that of cytotoxic T cells
Complement system

Augments the opsonization of bacteria by
antibodies. Hence, the name, meaning that it
complements the antibodies

Large number of plasma proteins that react with
each other following a trigger

Most of them are proteases that are themselves
activated by proteolytic cleavage
Complement system….cont.

Precursor proteins are widely distributed in body
fluids and tissues

Only activated on the surface of the pathogens

Once triggered it becomes a huge reaction in its
successive steps
Trigger
Innate immunity - summary

Immune cells identify the ‘pathogen-associated
molecular patterns’ on the cell membrane of
pathogens

Pathogen is immediately destroyed

Neutrophils and macrophages are key players

Complement system plays an important role

Activated dendritic cells present antigens

From Innate to Adaptive

Cells activated during the innate immune
response bridge the gap between the innate
and the adaptive systems


Dendritic Cells (DC)

Most potent APC (>>> macrophages)

Designated as professional APC

Main function is to control T and B cells
through presentation of different antigens

MHC molecules

Two types: MHC type I and MHC type II

MHC type I: Expressed in all body cells

MHC type II: Expressed in some immune cells


Dendritic cells, macrophages and B cells
Human counterpart is called HLA
MHC – Major histocompatibility complex
HLA – Human leukocyte antigen
DC-T cell interaction
Dendritic cells send two signals to T cells

1st signal – determines antigen specificity

2nd signal – triggers T cell proliferation

B cell Activation
Th1 cells
Produce IFN-, the main macrophage-activating cytokine.
It inhibits B cells
Th2 cells
Produce IL-4, IL-5 that activates B cells and IL-10 that
inhibits macrophages
Th0 cells
Produce both Th1 and Th2 cytokines and therefore
have a mixed effect
Clinical relevance of Th1 vs Th2
Mycobacterium leprae
grows in macrophage
vesicles.
To destroy bact. need to
activate macrophages by
Th1 cells
Th2 response is a waste
Th2 response
Lepromatous leprosy
Th1 response
Tuberculoid leprosy
- Numerous live bacteria
- Few live bacteria
- Lot of Ab in serum (ineffective)
- Little Ab in serum
- Gross tissue damage & death
- Skin & PN damage due to Mac. activation
- Slow disease, patient survives

Immunological memory



The ability of the immune system to respond
more rapidly and effectively to pathogens
that have been encountered previously
Both T cells and B cells are left behind as
memory cells following the primary immune
response
These are a distinct populations of long lived
cells, without the need to getting exposed to
residual antigen, in the body
Immunological memory…cont.

In the presence of memory T and B
cells, the naïve T and B cells are not
activated upon exposure to the same
antigen again (would be a waste)
Adaptive immunity - summary

The immune cells need to specifically
identify the pathogen

Clonal expansion of specific immune cells

Takes few days to build up

T and B lymphocytes are key players

Leaves behind memory cells
