An understanding of the developmental pathways is important, not only to clarify the physiology of the normal immune response but because some leukemia’s and immunodeficiency states represent maturation arrest of cells in their early stages of development. Lymphoid progenitors destined to become T cells migrate from the bone marrow into the cortex of the thymus. Under the influence of stromal cells and Hassall’s corpuscles in the thymic cortex, further differentiation into mature T cell occurs. The passage of T cells from the thymic cortex to medulla is associated with the acquisition of characteristic surface glycoprotein molecules so that medullary thymocytes eventually resemble mature peripheral T cells. T- Cells. T lymphocytes • Originate in bone marrow • Mature in thymus • Enter circulation FUNCTION • Control the immune system • Eliminate infection - e.g. virus, fungus • Lymphocytes are a separate lineage (cf. myeloid), also derived from stem cells. • Multiple types: Both “innate” and “adaptive” populations (using “pattern recognition receptors” vs “Ag-sp” receptors to sense their environment . • All originally derived from bone marrow, develop/differentiate further in different locales but then In contrast, B-cell development occurs in the bone marrow and is closely dependent upon interaction between a surface glycoprotein on nonlymphoid stromal cells called stem-cell factor (SCF) and its receptor on Bcell precursors ,kit tyrosine kinase. The thymus and the bone marrow are primary lymphoid organs. They contain cells undergoing a process of maturation from stem cells to antigen-sensitive (and antigen-restricted) cells. This process of maturation in independent of antigenic stimulation within the animal. In contrast, secondary lymphoid organs are those which contain antigen-reactive cells in the process of recirculating through the body .They include the lymph nodes, spleen and mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues. Antigenic stimulation changes the relative proportions of the mature cell types in secondary tissues. Peripheral T and B cells circulate in a definite pattern through the secondary lymphoid organs. Most of the recirculating cells are T cells and the complete cycle takes about 24h; some B cells, including long-lived memory B cells, also recirculate. Lymphocyte circulation is strongly influenced by adhesion molecules on the lymphocyte surface which act as homing agents directing cells to their respective ligands on high endothelial venules of lymph nodes and mucosal tissue. B lymphocytes: • Originate in bone marrow • Mature in bursa (equivalent) • Enter circulation FUNCTION • Become antibody producing “plasma” cells • Absence - no antibody. • Antigen presenting cells. Cells and organs of the immune system: 1- Antigen presenting cells: Monocytes ,macrophages, dendritic cells and B-cells. 2- Primary immune system organs : Thymus gland(T-cells production) ,Bone marrow, and bursa fabricius(Bcells production). 3- Secondary lymphoid organs : i- lymph node. ii- Spleen . Iii- Mucous associated lymphoid tissues : • Mucosal associated lymphocytic tract (MaLT). • Bronchial associated lymphocyte tissue (BALT). Gastrointestinal associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). Immune system – components: • white cells - found in the blood, and tissues proteins - also found in blood, and tissues • organs - such as the spleen, tonsils • circulatory system – blood, lymphatics Dendritic cell Dendriti c cell D e n d r i t i c c e l l Lymph node architecture is well adapted to its function. The lymphatic network, which drains the extra vascular spaces in the tissues, is connected to the lymph nodes by lymphatic vessels; these penetrate the lymph node capsule and drain into peripheral sinus, from which further sinuses branch to enter the lymph node. Passing through the cortex to the medulla and hence to the efferent lymphatic vessel .This sinus network provides an excellent filtration system for antigens entering the lymph node from peripheral tissues. The cortexes contain primary follicles of B lymphocytes, surrounded by Tcells in the paracortex. In contrast to primary follicles, secondary follicles. In congerminal centers. These comprise mainly B cells with a few helper T cells and a mantle zone of the original primary follicle B cells. B cells in a secondary follicle are antigen-activated and more mature; most have IgG on their surfaces, whereas those in the primary follicle and mantle zone D e n d r i t i c c e l l bear both IgD and IgM. Activated B cells migrate from the follicle to the medulla, where they develop into plasma cells in the medullary cords before releasing antibody into the efferent lymph. The architecture of the spleen is similar. The white pulp around arterioles is arranged into T and B cell areas with primary and secondary follicles. Antigen challenge results in expansion of the white pulp with B-cell a activation and the development of secondary follicles plasma cells migrate to the red pulp. Major immune cell types: A summary • Neutrophils • Monocytes/ Macrophages • Dendritic cells • Basophils • Mast cells • Eosinophils • Lymphocytes Macrophages: Macrophages are the tissue equivalent of Monocytes and , with Monocytes, and macrophages are derived from closely related stem cells in the bone marrow. Each cell lineage has a different colony-stimulating factor and, once differentiated, there are obvious differences between polymorph nuclear leukocytes, mononuclear phagocytes and lymphocytes. Whilst most polymorphonuclear leukocytes develop in the bone marrow and only emerge when mature macrophages differentiate principally in the tissues. Monocytes circulate for only a few hours before entering the tissues where they are live for weeks or months as mature macrophages. Tissue macrophages are heterogeneous in appearance, in metabolism and probably also in function. They include freely mobile alveolar and peritoneal macrophages, fixed Kupffer cells in the liver and those lining the sinusoids of the spleen. When found in other tissues, they are called histiocytes. A major function of the mononuclear phagocyte system is to phagocytize invading organisms and other antigens. Macrophages have prominent lysosomal granules containing acid hydrolases and other degradative enzymes with which to destroy phagocytosed material. The material may be an engulfed viable organism, dead cells, debris, antigen or an immune complex. In order to carry out their functions effectively, macrophages must be activated by stimuli include cytokines substances which bind to other surface receptors for polysaccharides/ endotoxin or soluble inflammatory mediators such as C5a.Activation may result in release of monokines(cytokines from Monocytes) such as TNF or IL-1 which may cause further damage in already inflamed tissues. Macrophages are also important for the presentation of antigen to other cells of the immune system, as described earlier. Monocyte (Macrophage): • First phagocytic cell discovered, 1800’s. Common in blood. • BM derived, circulate 2d, then reside in tissue, organs, long term • Phagocytosis (via innate and opsonization), digestion, Ag presentation for T cell activation—found in every organ in the body (often with specific historic names: ie Kupfer cells…) • Phagocytose but also release (i) regulatory and (ii) toxic effector molecules • All these phagocytic cells know where to go by being directed by chemokines. • Monocytes • Originate in bone marrow • Enter circulation Migrate into tissues - change shape“macrophage” • Phagocytic cell Present antigen to T cells- Neutrophils polymorphonuclear leukocytes: Neutrophils play a major role in the body defense against acute infection. They synthesize and express adhesion receptors so they can adhere to and migrate out of, blood vessels into the tissues. They do this in response to Chemotactic agents produced at the site of inflammation; such substances include IL-8, complement-derived factors (such as C3a and C5a),kallikrein, cytokines released by TH1 cells and Chemotactic factors produced by mast cells. Neutrophils are phagocytic cells. They are their most efficient when entering the tissues. Morphologically, the process of Phagocytosis is similar in both neutrophils and mononuclear phagocytes. Neutrophils are also able to kill and degrade the substances which they eat. Neutrophils Most common WBC in circulation. They and monocytes are the two circulating phagocytic cells. Named for staining properties (granules), hence a type of “granulocyte”. Also called “polymorphs” or “PMN” (Polymorphonuclear leukocyte) Increases (from bone marrow) are a hallmark of inflammation. How do they work • First line of cellular defense: rapidly released from Bone Marrow and recruited, via blood, to sites of infection/inflammation. Acts on bacterial, fungal infection. • Neutrophils squeeze through capillary walls and into infected tissue where they kill the invaders (e.g., bacteria) and then engulf the remnants by phagocytosis. • Very rapid release , BUT short lived—few hours after extravasation. How do they know where to go? • Highly phagocytic, digestion. Produces toxic mediators. Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is a mechanism by which antibody-coated target cells are destroyed by cells bearing Fc receptors(NK cells, Monocytes, neutrophils)with no involvement of the MHC. The mechanism of target-cell destruction is not fully elucidated but includes the release of cytoplasmic components such as peroforin and granzymes (as with cytotoxic T-cells). Natural killer cells: NK cells look large granular lymphocytes. They can kill target cells, even in the absence of any antibody or antigenic-stimulation. They are non-specific activated by agents such as mitogens, interferon and IL-12. NK cells form an integral part of the early host response to viral infection. NK cells are not immune cells in the strictest sense because , like macrophages, they are not clonally restricted ,they show minimal specificity and they have no memory. The range of their potential targets is broad. Animals and rare patients with deficient NK cell function are said to have an increased incidence of certain tumours and viral infection. NK cells are therefore thought to be important in immune surveillance against tumours. Dendritic Cell: • Low frequency cells. Found in 1860’s—ignored since so few of them. • 1980’s-present : Realization of their key role in controlling initiation of adaptive immunity—or tolerization (making unresponsive). • DC are phagocytic/pinocytic Excellent for Ag uptake prior to maturation/activation. and present Ag to begin specific immune responses. Dendritic cells Antigen presenting cells - key role in initiating T cell response to antigen . Basophil, Mast Cell, Eosinophil Immune system Non-specific • Neutrophils • Macrophages • Complement • Mechanical • “INNATE” Specific • Lymphocytes • “ADAPTIVE” Antigen : Definition Any substance which • causes a lymphocyte reaction • reaction is specific to that lymphocyte • clone - single type of lymphocyte which reacts to an individual antigen Example - In the case of a B lymphocyte • Antibody is produced Examples • infectious agent - bacteria, virus • tissue - from another person - transplant • food !! Immunogen: Substance that is capable of inducing an immune response(antibody response , cell-mediate immunity ) .Some times it is used as a synonym for antigen, but emphasis is on the ability to elicite a response , rather than on reactivity with antibodies. The most potent immunogen are proteins and polysaccharides, but lipids , nucleic acids ,and synthetic polypeptides can also be immunogenic. Immunology: Science deal with the immunity. Immunity : State of being immune . Means the resistance of the individual against the bacteria or microorganism and their productions. Classification of immunity: it is classified into two groups 1. Innate immunity or inherited immunity It means a natural immunity 2. Acquired immunity It means the taking immunity The innate immunity divides into 1. Species immunity 2. Races immunity 3. Organ immunity 4. Individual immunity The acquired immunity divides into 1. Active immunity. 2. Passive immunity. The active immunity either a. Natural immunity b. Artificial immunity c. Immune response : Specific response of an human or animal to antigenic stimulation. The immune response may take the form of antibody production, cell-mediated immunity, or tolerance. Immunoincompetent : Incapable of mounting a normal immune response. For example ,neonatal mice or thymectomized mice are Immunoincompetent; individuals with immunodeficiency disease are immunoincompetnce . The lack of immunological competence may result from failure of B and / or T or B lymphocyte. Immunologic competent cell : Cell capable of specific recognition or specific response to an antigen. The term is usually used to refer to an antigen. The term is usually used to T or B lymphocyte.
