DISORDERS OF THE IMMUNE
SYSTEM
CHAPTERS 3 & 4
LYMPHOCYTES
• Small WBCs that are the
effector cells of the immune system
3 types:
• B lymphocytes mature in the bone marrow
• T lymphocytes mature in the thymus where
they also differentiate into cells with
various functions
• Natural killer cells – in the innate immune
system. Fast acting, have an innate
capacity to instantly recognize, attack, &
kill virus infected cells
STAGES OF IMMUNE RESPONSE
Recognition
 Lymph nodes and lymphocytes
 Use circulation to “patrol” tissues and vessels
 Once foreign invader discovered, immune process
initiated
STAGES OF IMMUNE RESPONSE
Proliferation
 T-cells and B-cells divide
rapidly
 T-cells  Killer T-cells
 B-cells  antibodies
STAGES OF IMMUNE RESPONSE
Response
 Humoral – antibodies
released into the
bloodstream
 Cell-mediated – direct
attack on microbe by killer
T-cells
STAGES OF IMMUNE RESPONSE
Effector
 Depends on which
response reaches antigen
first: humoral or cellmediated
 Outcome: total
destruction vs. complete
neutralization of invading
microbe
B LYMPHOCYTE
(ANTIBODY)-MEDIATED
IMMUNITY
• Antibody (humoral)
mediated
• B cell activation
• B cell clones itself and
produces antibodies
• Some vaccines work in this
manner
T LYMPHOCYTE (DELAYED)MEDIATED IMMUNITY
• Cell-mediated
• T cells(helper/CD4)
activates immune cells
• T cells (cytotoxic/killer
CD8)
• T cells produce cytokines
NON-T AND NON-B LYMPHOCYTES
INVOLVED IN IMMUNE RESPONSE
Null cells
 Destroy antigen coated
with antibody
Natural killer cells
 Defend against
microorganisms and
some malignant cells
MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY
COMPLEX (MHC)
• Important part of immunity is how antigens are
displayed to immune cells
• The MCH is a glycoprotein complex on the surface
of all cells (except RBCs)
• It allows for immune cells to recognize the cell as
self or nonself
• AKA as Human Leukocyte antigens (HLA)
TYPES OF MHC
• Two types of MHC
• MHC I: display antigens synthesized inside a virus
infected or cancerous cell
• MHC II: present on the surface of macrophages
and dendritic cells, which capture and display
external nonself antigen
• Critical difference between the two: the immune
system attacks the cell with the MHC I display but
just reads the MHC II display
HYPERSENSITIVITY
A reflection of excessive or aberrant immune
response
Sensitization: initiates the buildup of antibodies
HYPERSENSITIVITY
Types of hypersensitivity reactions
B Cell Mediated:
 Immediate (Anaphylactic): type I
 Cytotoxic: type II
 Immune complex: type III
T Cell Mediated:
 Delayed type: type IV
TYPE I IMMEDIATE REACTION
• Occurs within a few minutes after an antigen
combines with preformed antibody created by B
cells from an earlier exposure
• Sensitizing exposure: IgE antibodies are secreted by
B cells and attach to mast cells
• The initial exposure produces no symptoms but sets
the stage for exposure, the antigen combines with
IGE antibody already present on the surface of
mast cells
• Results in vascular dilation, congestion, mucus
secretion, and inflammation
TYPE I—ANAPHYLACTIC REACTION
TYPE II HYPERSENSITIVITY
Normal body constituent
identified as foreign
Chemical mediators released
Activation of complement
cascade  cell destruction
Diseases: myasthenia gravis,
Goodpasture [lung and renal
damage], blood transfusion
incompatibility
TYPE II—CYTOTOXIC REACTION
TYPE II HYPERSENSITIVITY
TYPE III—IMMUNE COMPLEX REACTION
TYPE III HYPERSENSITIVITY
Immune complex
hypersensivity
Free antigen and antibody
combine to form an immune
complex depositing in tissue,
which damages it and causes
an inflammatory reaction
TYPE III
TYPE IV IMMUNE REACTION
• T cell reaction
• No antibodies are produced and clinical reaction is
delayed a few days after antigen contact
• Example: Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Contact
dermatitis (most common Type IV)
TYPE IV—DELAYED OR CELLULAR
REACTION
ALLERGIC DISORDERS & ATOPY
• Allergy: exaggerated but otherwise normal immune
response to foreign antigen regardless of the type
of hypersensitivity reaction
• Allergen: any substance (antigen) causing an
allergic reaction
• Atopy: allergy due to Type I
• Most allergies are atopic
25
IMMUNOGLOBULINS AND ALLERGIC
RESPONSE
Antibodies (IgE, IgD, IgG, IgM, and IgA) react
with specific effector cells and molecules, and
function to protect the body
IgE antibodies are involved in allergic disorders
IgE molecules bind to an allergen and trigger
mast cells or basophils
IMMUNOGLOBULINS AND ALLERGIC
RESPONSE
• These cells then release
chemical mediators such
as histamine, serotonin,
kinins, SRS-A, and
neutrophil factor
• These chemical substances
cause the reactions seen in
allergic response
IG AND ALLERGIC RESPONSE (CONT.)
• Allergen triggers the B cell to make IgE antibody,
which attaches to the mast cell; when that allergen
reappears, it binds to the IgE and triggers the mast
cell to release its chemicals

AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS
SLE & AIDS
SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERTHEMATOSUS (SLE)
• Multisystem disease
• Caused by Type III hypersensitivity
• Characterized by multitude of antibodies to various
organs
• Associated with presence of antinuclear antibodies
(ANA) in blood or tissue which may target DNA or
RNA
ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY
SYNDROME (AIDS)
• HIV invades cells by attaching to the MHC complex and
preferentially infects T cells and related macrophages
with the CD4 type of MHC antigen (mainly helper T cells)
• HIV RNA synthesizes abnormal DNA inside CD4+ cells
which merges with normal DNA to become part of a
new corrupted T cell DNA
• Later process is reversed and corrupted DNA produces
new HIV RNA
• New HIV viruses exit the dying cell to infect and kill other
CD4+ cells
• Cycle continues until T cell function is devastated and
patient dies from AIDS-related opportunistic infection or
malignancy
AIDS CONT’D
• B cell immunity is adversely affected because
normal B cell function requires helper T cell support
• B cells are stimulated by HIV antigens and antigens
of the cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus,
and other infections that occur in AIDS
• Net effect: both T & B cell function is defective
DIAGNOSIS OF HIV & AIDS
• HIV is the infection, detectable by laboratory tests
• AIDS is a syndrome, not detected by laboratory
data
• AIDS is a clinical diagnosis proved by the presence
of certain AIDS related diseases
PROGRESSION OF HIV INFECTION
• Three phases:
1.
2.
3.
Acute Viral Syndrome
Chronic infection
Progression to clinical AIDS
