Acquired Immunity

Remember: Types of Immunity
• Innate
• Acquired
– Is the body’s second major kind of defense
– Involves the activity of lymphocytes

• A summary of innate and acquired immunity
INNATE IMMUNITY Rapid responses to a
broad range of microbes
ACQUIRED IMMUNITYSlower responses to
specific microbes
External defenses Internal defenses
Skin
Mucous membranes
Secretions
Phagocytic cells
Antimicrobial proteins
Inflammatory response
Natural killer cells
Humoral response(antibodies)
Cell-mediated response(cytotoxic lymphocytes)
Invadingmicrobes
(pathogens)

T Cells & Cell-Mediated Immunity
• T Cells must be activated by exposure to antigen
• T Cells recognize antigens when they are bound to membrane receptors of other cells
• Antigen membrane receptors are called– MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX
PROTEINS • Class I MHC • Class II MHC
T Cells & Cell-Mediated Immunity
• MHC Proteins• Class I
– Found on the surface of all nucleated cells– Peptides produced inside the cell are displayed on
the surface by Class I MHC proteins.
• Class II– Found on the surface of lymphocytes & phagocytes
• Called ANTIGEN-PRESENTING CELLS (APCs)
Types of T Cells
1. Cytotoxic T Cells
2. Helper T Cells
3. Memory T Cells
4. Suppressor T Cells
Notes Handout
Helper T Cells• Activated by exposure to antigens presented by
Class II MHC proteins• Activated helper T cells perform two functions:
1. Coordinate specific & nonspecific defenses
2. Stimulate both cell-mediated & antibody-mediated immunity
• Activated helper T cells divide to produce:– More activated helper T cells– Memory T cells
• helper T cells clip
Memory T Cells
• Produced upon initial exposure to antigen, but do not respond to the antigen at that time.
• Provide a no-delay response to any FUTURE exposure to the same antigen– Immediate differentiation into cytotoxic T cells
and helper T cells
Suppressor T Cells
• Activated suppressor T cells dampen the responses of other T cells and B cells– Secrete suppression factors
• Act after the initial immune response

Antibody (IgG) Function
• Neutralization• Agglutination and precipitation• Activation of complement• Attraction of phagocytes• Enhancement of phagocytes• Stimulation of inflammation
