History of immunology• Early observers noticed that
survivors of certain diseases were resistant to re-infection
Mary Wortley Montagu
Excerpt from a letter by M. W. Montagu, 1717:“….The old woman comes with a nutshell full of the matter of the best sort of smallpox and asks what veins you please to have opened. She… puts into the vein as much venom as can lie upon the head of her needle. …You may believe I am very well satisfied of the safety of the experiment since I intend to try it on my dear little son. …I should not fail to write to some of our doctors very particularly about it if I knew any one of 'em that I thought had virtue enough to destroy such a considerable branch of their revenue for the good of mankind….”

History of immunology• Edward Jenner, 1796
– 1st vaccinations: cowpox (vaccinia) • Louis Pasteur, 1880s
– Vaccines against cholera in chickens, rabies
• Emil von Behring & Shibasaburo Kitasato, 1890
– Serum from animals immune to diptheria or tetanus conferred immunity to recipients
– “Antitoxic activity” = antibodies

General functions of immune cells
![Page 11: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
General functions of immune cells
![Page 12: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Lymphocytes are small and inactive unless antigen recognition occurs
General functions of immune cells
![Page 13: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Primary lymphoid tissues
Secondary (peripheral) lymphoid tissues
Components of the immune system: Lymphoid tissues
![Page 14: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Inflammation is triggered by infection
![Page 15: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lymphocytes encounter antigens in the peripheral
lymphoid tissues
![Page 16: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Two general types of immunity
• Innate (natural, native)
• Adaptive (specific, acquired)
![Page 17: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Innate vs adaptive immunity
Innate immunity
Adaptive immunity
Response time
Number of specificities
Specificity improves
during response
Memory responses
![Page 18: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Innate immunity
• Phagocytes (macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells)
–Engulf microbes or foreign particles–Release proinflammatory cytokines,
chemokines• Complement• Inflammation (early)• Antigen processing and presentation
![Page 19: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Antigen presentation• T cell receptors
cannot bind antigens in the native state
• Must be processed and presented on an MHC protein
• Antigen presenting cells (APCs)– Crucial bridge
between innate and adaptive immunity
![Page 20: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Adaptive immunity
• APCs required• Lymphocytes activated• Effector mechanisms respond to
different types of pathogens– Humoral (B cells, antibodies)– Cell-mediated (T cells)
• Memory cells generated
![Page 21: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Adaptive immunity
• Lymphocyte activation– Clonal selection and
clonal expansion
![Page 22: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Adaptive immunity: humoral responses
![Page 23: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Cytotoxic T cells (CD8+, CTL)– Recognize antigens
presented by MHC I– Response to
cytosolic pathogens
– Directly lyse target cells
Adaptive immunity: cell-mediated immunity
![Page 25: Introduction to immunology Jan. 19 Reading: Chapter 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d485503460f94a240b9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Helper T cells (CD4+)– Recognize antigens
presented by MHC II– Response to extracellular
pathogens– 3 major classes:
• TH1
• TH2
• Regulatory T cells
– Boost proliferation and function of other immune cells
Adaptive immunity: cell-mediated immunity
