  1. How the body How the body responds to responds to infection infection

  2. Primary lymphoid organs

  3. Infectious agents Infectious agents • Viruses Viruses • Bacteria Bacteria • Fungi Fungi • Protozoa Protozoa • Worms Worms

  4. Neutrophils Eosinophils PMN/ Basophils Granulocytes Mast cells Myeloid Monocytes/ Macrophages Dendritic cells Mononuclear cells NK cells Lymphoid CD8 + Tc lymphocytes CD4 + Th lymphocytes B lymphocytes

  5. Anti-microbial • Antibodies / immunoglobulins (IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, IgD) • Pentraxins (eg. C-reactive protein) • Collectins (eg. mannan-binding lectin) • Complement proteins • Defensins • Lytic enzymes • Interferons • Cytotoxins (perforins, granzymes) Regulatory / inflammatory • Cytokines (eg. interleukins, interferons, tumour necrosis factors) • Chemokines • Prostaglandins, leukotrienes, etc. (products of arachidonic acid) • Histamine

  6. Neutrophils Eosinophils PMN/ Basophils Granulocytes Mast cells Myeloid Innate Monocytes/ Macrophages Dendritic cells Mononuclear cells NK cells Lymphoid CD8 + Tc lymphocytes CD4 + Th lymphocytes Adaptive B lymphocytes

  7. eg. eg. macrophages macrophages PRR PRR PAMP PAMP

  8. eg. eg. Antigen Antigen B lymphocytes B lymphocytes receptor receptor Antigen Antigen

  9. Stages of a primary immune response. 1) Epithelial barrier. 2) Immediate local response (innate): complement proteins macrophages 3) Early induced response (innate/ inflammatory): inflammatory mediators from complement, macrophages, mast cells - attract leucocytes and serum proteins (more complement)

  10. 4) Later adaptive response: antigen carriage by dendritic cells to lymphoid tissue activation of specific T and B lymphocytes and Ab production recirculation to site of infection Following primary infection: - Memory T and B cells give faster and bigger responses on second exposure to the same infection (in stage 4 above).

  11. Allergic rhinitis - Allergic rhinitis - eg eg. . hayfever hayfever

  12. Contact dermatitis - Contact dermatitis - eg eg. nickel allergy . nickel allergy

  13. Autoimmune Autoimmune thyroiditis thyroiditis

  14. Rheumatoid arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis
