Medi 4318 Introduction to host defenses Ahmad Sh. Silmi Rm 326 Admin. Building [email protected] Office hours: Every week Sun &Tues 11:00 to 12:00. What are host defenses? What are the reasons for host defenses? • Defense against infections. • Defense against toxins. • Defense against internal dangers (cancer, bad pregnancy). • Regulating defenses: autoimmunity and pregnancy. What are the range of mechanisms called host defenses? Innate defenses: A broad range of mechanisms that don’t require selection of cells to secrete or kill specific things (usually ready instantly or within a few hours). Adaptive immunity: Selection of cells that secrete or kill. Requires DNA rearrangements and takes about a week. Have persistent memory. Why Differentiate between the Innate and Acquired Immunity ? Innate Immunity • Characteristics: – Universal – Rapid – Lacks memory – Non specific but ... Acquired Immunity • Characteristics: – Not universal – ‘Slow’ to develop – Possesses memory • Specific but…. – ‘Plays to the tune of the Innate immune system’ Both innate and immune defense cells are generated in bone marrow (or at least start there). * Mostly innate defense cells *,* * * * * * * * Mostly *,* adaptive immune cells. * * * * Kuby Fig 2.2 Adaptive immunity is all about generating functional lymphocytes (B and T).

Generation of cellular diversity (bone marrow and thymus) Selection of cells specific to a given antigen (lymph node, spleen and mucosal tissue) Clonal expansion of these cells (lymph node, spleen and mucosal tissue) Function of mature cells (entire body) How and where is cellular diversity generated? I. B lymphocytes. Bone marrow is where B progenitor cells become mature B cells and migrate to lymph nodes and spleen looking for antigen. Bone marrow is the primary lymphoid organ for B cells How and where is cellular diversity generated? II. T lymphocytes: Pre-T cells (no TCR) migrate from bone marrow to the thymus where they rearrange DNA. Within the thymus the pre-T cells mature into T cells by rearranging their TCR DNA and generate about 107 cells (each with one copy of unique TCR DNA) per day, then exit looking for that antigen. This process is antigen-independent. Thymus is the primary lymphoid organ for T cells. A question for votes: Where and how is B lymphocyte diversity generated? A. In its primary lymphoid tissue, the thymus. B. By generating new DNA sequences in every B cell. C. In bone marrow by rearranging existing DNA. D. In spleen by eliminating cDNA. Adaptive immunity is all about generating functional lymphocytes. Generation of cellular diversity (bone marrow and thymus) Selection of cells specific to a given antigen (lymph node, spleen and mucosal tissue) Clonal expansion of these cells (lymph node, spleen and mucosal tissue) Function of mature cells (entire body) The lymph nodes and spleen are secondary lymphoid organs Naïve T cells Naïve B cells (from thymus through blood) (from bone marrow through blood) lymph nodes or spleen Antigen (either through lymph ducts or blood) If Antigen not found, the naïve B and T cells recirculate and die. If Antigen is found, the naïve B and T cells survive and clonally expand in the secondary lymphoid organs. Adaptive immunity is all about generating functional lymphocytes.

Plasma cells Functional T lymphocytes preCTL TCR TCR T helper cells. TDTH cells When mature, these cells leave the secondary lymphoid organs, enter the blood steam and home to where they find their antigen. TCR Clonal expansion also produces memory cells of both types. These memory cells recirculate and can be reactivated by exposure to antigen in secondary lymphoid tissue. T memory cells (both types) A question for voting: What does the term clonal expansion mean? A. A stem cell is triggered to proliferate to form a clone of progeny cells. B. A naïve B cell meets its antigen and proliferates to produce lots of progeny cells. C. A T memory cell meets its antigen on an APC in a secondary lymphoid organ and proliferates. D. All of the above. E. None of the above. Adaptive immunity is all about generating functional lymphocytes. Generation of cellular diversity (bone marrow and thymus) Selection of cells specific to a given antigen (lymph node, spleen and mucosal tissue) Clonal expansion of these cells (lymph node, spleen and mucosal tissue) Functional mature cells (entire body) In the generation of diversity, why don’t lymphocytes attack our own cells? Because of tolerance: central and peripheral. Central tolerance involves elimination of almost all self-reactive lymphocytes at the site of production: the primary lymphoid organs of bone marrow and thymus. Peripheral tolerance involves suppressing immune responses to antigens not eliminated in central tolerance. How cells are gotten rid of in central tolerance. By apoptosis, which is noninflammatory. Before B lymphocytes can migrate out of bone marrow, all those cells bearing a BCR that reacts with a ‘self’ antigen bind to bone marrow stromal cells and die. Apoptosis T lymphocyte central tolerance. T cells come in two flavors: CD4 and CD8 positive. Both are generated randomly in the thymus by recognition of a bit of antigen presented on a particular MHC molecule in the context of either CD4 or CD8 binding. Major histocompatibility complex antigens (MHC) 1. MHC are cell surface molecules on APC that present the bit of antigen to T lymphocytes. 2. There are two kinds of MHC: class I and class II. 3. Both molecules are fairly polymorphic ( different choices in the population) and are heritable. 4. MHC class I has a one chain binding site while MHC class II has two chains. T cells must be activated by specific antigen presented by MHC class II (to CD4 cells) and MHC class I (to CD8 cells) MHC class I presents internal antigen and MHC class II external antigen. A chant for APC: Internal proteins are processed and presented by MHC I to CD8 positive T lymphocytes. External proteins are processed and presented by MHC II to CD4 positive T lymphocytes. External pathogens are complexed by Ig molecules produced by B lymphocytes. Internal pathogens are killed (along with the host cell) by CD8 positive CTL. What do the CD4 positive T lymphocytes do? The role of mature CD4 positive T lymphocytes 1. They provide ‘help’ in the form of cytokines in an antigenspecific manner to developing B cells that allow class-switching and memory cell formation. 2. They provide ‘help’ in the form of cytokines in an antigen-specific manner to developing CD8 positive T cells that greatly enhances the response. 3. Mature CD4 positive T cells migrate to tissues and help clear macrophages of infections (the so-called DTH response). So what does CD4 and CD8 have to do with the process of central tolerance in developing T cells? This is called positive selection. Negative selection occurs next and is similar to the B cell process. Cortex Medula 3 4 3. The CD4/CD8 positive thymocytes (double positive) loose CD4 or CD8 to become CD4 and CD8 T cells and migrate to the medula. 4. In the medula, single positive T cells can bind to self peptide antigens presented on MHC class I or II on thymic dendritic cells. If they do, they die. Adaptive immunity is all about generating functional lymphocytes. Generation of cellular diversity (bone marrow and thymus) Selection of cells specific to a given antigen (lymph node spleen and mucosal tissue) Clonal expansion of these cells (lymph node, spleen and mucosal tissue) Functional mature cells (entire body) How does antigen get to lymphocytes?. In three ways: Through lymphatic ducts that lead to lymph nodes. Through blood which goes to spleen. Directly to lymphoid tissue through mucosal tissue (GALT) MALT directly faces its antigen: an example is the gut. The direct interface with outside is provided in the gut by specialized M cells, which take up whole antigen and feed it directly to macrophages, T and B cells inside it. Secondary lymphoid tissues are where lymphocytes meets antigen which comes from lymph ducts (and blood) that connect to lymph nodes (or spleen). The spleen is very much like the lymph node only it does not have lymph node connection: only blood. What form of antigen enters the secondary lymphoid tissue? Free antigen which is necessary for survival and proliferation of B lymphocytes Antigen inside a dendritic cell, a super APC, necessary for T lymphocyte survival and proliferation. What are dendritic cells? A kind of antigen presenting cell. There are several kinds of dendritic cells, but only one that brings antigen into the lymph node. Dendritic cells stationed beneath skin (a sentinal cell) differentiate and migrate when encountering a dangerous antigen. To regional lymph node Activation of specific immune response Adaptive immunity is all about generating functional lymphocytes. Generation of cellular diversity (bone marrow and thymus) Selection of cells specific to a given antigen (lymph node spleen and mucosal tissue) Clonal expansion of these cells (lymph node, spleen and mucosal tissue) Functional mature cells (entire body) Now we have free antigen, antigen being processed by dendritic cells and B and T lymphocytes present in secondary lymphoid tissue, what happens? Free antigen binds to its BCR on B lymphocytes and stimulates limited clonal proliferation and differentiation. Dendritic cells present antigen to CD4 positive T lymphocytes and stimulate clonal proliferation and differentiation. Dendritic cells present antigen to CD8 positive T lymphocytes and activate the cells for clonal expansion and differentiation. The first and third stimulations occur much better with ‘T cell help’ (from antigen-specific, mature CD4 positive helper cells). The life cycle of a B lymphocyte. Immune memory: a much larger and faster response the second time around. (IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE) (mostly IgM) These secondary effects are all due to CD4 T cell help. Antigen driven clonal expansion and maturation without T cell help. APC BCR B lymphocyte soluble IgM clonal expansion maturation Plasma cell The B lymphocyte as an APC T helper cell Antigen-specific BCR Antigen processing into peptides MHC peptide Help comes in the form of cytokines, soluble and cellassociated, produced by the T helper cell. Antigen-specific CD8 positive cells meet antigen presented by a dendritic cell, receive help from a T helper cell, clonally expand and mature into a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL). MHC II MHC I activation of Thelper cells by antigen presented by MHC class II. activation of CD8 positive T cell by antigen presented on MHC class I clonal expansion and maturation Adaptive immunity is all about generating functional lymphocytes. Generation of cellular diversity (bone marrow and thymus) Selection of cells specific to a given antigen (lymph node spleen and mucosal tissue) Clonal expansion of these cells (lymph node, spleen and mucosal tissue) Functional mature cells (entire body) Output from secondary lymphoid tissue: 1. Plasma cells that produce Ig. 2. B memory cells with memory responses to specific antigens, some already Ig class switched. 3. CD4 positive T helper effector cells that may or may not travel to the periphery. 4. CD4 memory cells for every effector population. 5. CD8 positive (CTL) that travel to the periphery. 6. CD8 memory cells for every effector population. A question for voting: Where are most CD4 and CD8 T cells selected for non-recognition of self antigens? A. In the primary lymphoid organ (bone marrow). B. In secondary lymphoid organs (lymph nodes and spleen). C. In the thymus at the end of their maturation process. D. All of the above. E. None of the above. How do all these cells know where to go after being activated? They have receptors for or express chemokines, cell adhesion molecules, integrins and selectins that guide them to where they should go. We shall call them collectively addressins. The role of addressins: Spleen or lymph node please. Spleen or lymph node Vascular endothelial cell naïve B or T cell Addressins or addresses are combinations of lectins, integrins, cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and chemokines and chemokine receptors. Addressins are the way immune cells find their way through the process of maturation and find their targeted infection. mature T helper lymphocyte Naïve T lymphocyte Dendritic cell, please naïve B cell, please TCR MHC with processed antigen dendritic cell BCR naïve B cell dendritic cell naïve B lymphocyte The vascular endothelium expresses addresses in response to cytokines released by macrophages and mast cells fighting the infection (innate response). Effector B cells (plasma cells) have addressins that allow them to accumulate in bone marrow, secondary lymphoid organs or just beneath the epthelium. They then start to secrete specific Ig. lambda secretors = yellow kappa = red. medulary lymph nodes IgA = red, IgG = green bone marrow A pre-CTL leaves a secondary lymphoid organ, enters blood, extravasates into an inflamed tissue, migrates to the site of infection then recognizes the cell to be killed by the peptide in its MHC class I. Death is by apoptosis, which neatly packages everything within a plasma membrane which will be picked up by a macrophage and disposed of. Where antigen (vasicular stomatitis virus) specific CTLs end up. Mature CD4 T cells also migrate into blood, cross an inflamed endothelium and are further activated by interaction of their TCR with their antigen expressed on MHC class II. The result is activation of the macrophage by IFNg released by the mature CD4 cell. This activation allows the macrophage to kill internalized viruses, bacteria and parasites.
