Introduction to the immune system Vivekanandan Perumal vperumal@bioschool.iitd.ac.in 011-26597532 Office hours Wednesday and Friday 5-6pm
Slide 2-

Immunity Immunity is body's ability to resist or eliminate potentially harmful foreign materials or abnormal cells
Slide 3-

History: what imparts Immunity? Emil von Behring and Kitasato (1890) Serum from vaccinated animals was protective (diptheria) Metchinkoff (1880) Cell based Immunity Merrill Chase (1940)- Transfer of WBC (immunity to tuberculosis) Both serum and cells contribute to immunity
Slide 4-

Immunology- nobel prizes Since 1901 there have been 19 Nobel Prizes for immunology-related research.
Slide 5-

The immune system A functional system – NOT an organ system: Complex system – includes Skin – physical barrier Lining of mucus membranes – physical barrier Secretions – tears, mucus etc - antimicrobial Blood cells and vasculature – WBCs Bone marrow Liver – makes complement proteins Lymphatic system and lymphoid organs Most tissues – have resident immune cells
Slide 6-

Immunity Immunity (immunis- Latin-exempt, state of protection from infectious diseases) Immunity is body's ability to resist or eliminate potentially harmful foreign materials or abnormal cells consists of following activities: Defense against invading pathogens (viruses & bacteria) Removal of 'worn-out' cells (e.g., old RBCs) & tissue debris (e.g., from injury or disease) Identification & destruction of abnormal or mutant cells (primary defense against cancer) Rejection of 'foreign' cells (e.g., organ transplant) Inappropriate responses: Allergies - response to normally harmless substances Autoimmune diseases
Slide 7-

The Immune System
Slide 8-

Overview of the Immune System Interactions between the two systems
Slide 9-

A typical immune response Complement
Slide 10-

Innate immunity vs Adaptive Immunity No memory No time lag Not antigen specific A lag period Antigen specific Development of memory Innate Immunity (first line of defense) Adaptive Immunity (second line of defense)

Slide 19-

Neutrophils in innate immune response Most abundant WBCs (~50-60%) Efficient phagocytes Most important cells of the innate immune system
Slide 20-

Phagocytosis Phago = to eat Cyte = cell WBCs (eg. Neutrophils) – find, eat and digest microbes !
Slide 21-

How do neutrophils find microbes ? https://youtu.be/I_xh-bkiv_c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUUfdP87Ssg
Slide 22-

How do neutrophils eat and digest microbes ? Granules
Slide 23-

What’s in the granules ? Lysozyme – digests bacterial cell wall; other antimicrobial proteins
Slide 24-

Additional role of neutrophils Triggers inflammatory response
Slide 25-

Monocytes Monocytes (~5% of WBCs) Migrate into the tissues and become Macrophages Lung Bone Liver Brain intestine
Slide 26-

Macrophages “Big eaters” Phagocytosis of microbes in tissue (neutrophils are present only in blood) Antigen presentation
Slide 27-

Natural killer cells Not B-lymphocytes / T-lymphocytes Important part of the innate immune system Kill virus /bacteria infected cells (Intracellular pathogens) Kills cancer cells
Slide 28-

NK cells differentiate choose cells to kill ? Uninfected cell / Normal cell Microbe infected cell / cancer cell Some cell surface proteins are missing
Slide 29-

How does the killer kill ? Kills both host cells and microbes Release of granules with perforins and proteases
Slide 30-

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) Transmembrane proteins Present on macrophages / few other cells Conserved across vertebrates Important part of innate immune system
Slide 31-

TLRs – What do they do ? They look out for microbes (or their components) They bind to the microbes (or their components) They trigger a cascade of events to kill or protect against pathogens THEY ARE INNATE IMMUNE SENSORS
Slide 32-

TLRs – look out for microbes
Slide 33-

TLRs – bind to microbes / components of microbes

Innate immune system: components of Blood Complement proteins Coagulation proteins Cytokines WBCs
Slide 38-

Cytokines Small proteins – secreted by cells of the immune system Affect the behaviour of other cells signalling molecules Key players in innate and acquired immunity
Slide 39-

Which cells release cytokines ? Cells of the immune system: Neutrophils – when they encounter a pathogen Macrophages – when they encounter a pathogen TLRs – bind to microbe / components of a microbe NK cells – on encountering a microbe infected cell /tumour cell Lymphocytes – when they are activated
Slide 40-

Examples of cytokines Interferons Interleukins Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)
Slide 41-

Interferons (IFN) Signalling proteins produced by by virus infected monocytes and lymphocytes Secreted proteins – Key anti-viral proteins “Interfere” with virus replication Warn the neighbouring cells that a virus is around... If we did not have IFNs – most of us may die of influenza virus infection

Slide 69-

Not everything about Inflammation is good
Slide 70-

The good and bad about inflammation Acute /short-term -Good chronic /long-term - Bad
Slide 71-

Chronic inflammation = tissue damage Chronic inflammation - macrophages in the injured tissue. Macrophages release toxins (including reactive oxygen species or ROS) that injure tissues chronic inflammation is almost always accompanied by tissue destruction. Normal tissue Tissue : chronic inflammation
Slide 72-

Chronic inflammation and tissue damage Reduced tissue function Tissue damage Chronic inflammation Activation of immune cells Killing of host cells
Slide 73-

Chronic inflammation and Cancer ROS O2- OH- DNA Mutation Cancer
Slide 74-

Immunogens / Antigens
Slide 75-

Immunogens and antigens Immunogen / antigen: a substance that elicits an immune response [i.e. a humoral (antibody response) or cell-mediated immune response] Immune response generator Though the two terms are used interchangeably – there are differences between the two
Slide 76-

Epitope Epitope: the portion of an antigen that is recognized and bound by an antibody (Ab) or a T-cell receptor (TCR) epitope = antigenic determinant
Slide 77-

Epitopes Epitope: the portion of an antigen that is recognized and bound by an Ab or a T Cell receptor One protein may have multiple antigenic determinant
Slide 78-

Epitopes B-cell Epitopes – recognized by B-cells T-cell Epitopes – recognized by T cells
Slide 79-

Immunogenicity Immunogencity: is the ability to induce a humoral (antibody) and/or cell-mediated immune response. Weak immunogens Strong immunogens
Slide 80-

What determines immunogenicity ? Foreignness: essential for immunogenicity (self-responsive immune cells are eliminated during lymphocyte development) Size: Bigger>Smaller Chemical composition: Proteins > nucleic acids / polysaccharides / lipids Structure: Primary /secondary /tertiary structures play a role Physical form: Particulate> Soluble
Slide 81-

Host factors affecting immunogencity Difference across species (interspecies) Differences within a species (intraspecies) - Responders / non-responders to vaccine - differences in disease severity in epidemics Genetics Age
Slide 82-

Isoantigens Isoantigens: Antigens present in some but not all members of a species Blood group antigens – basis of blood grouping MHC (major histocompatibility complex)- cell surface glycoproteins
Slide 83-

Autoantigens Autoantigens are substances capable of immunizing the host from which they are obtained. Self antigens are ordinarily non-antigenic Modifications of self-antigens are capable of eliciting an immune response
Slide 84-

Haptens Haptens are small molecules which are non-immunogenic, thus could never induce an immune response by themselves.
Slide 85-

Examples of haptens DO NOT ELICIT an immune response by themselves
Slide 86-

Immunogens / Antigens
Slide 87-

What is an antibody? Produced by Plasma cell (B-lymphocytes producing Ab) Essential part of adaptive immunity Specifically bind a unique antigenic epitope (also called an antigenic determinant) Possesses antigen binding sites Members of the class of proteins called immunoglobulins
Slide 88-

What does an antibody look like ? 2 identical heavy chains 2 identical light chains Each heavy chain – has a constant and a variable region Each light chain has a constant and a variable region H H L L Constant region Variable region
Slide 89-

Antibody: structure and function Fab – fragment antigen binding Fc- Fragment constant
Slide 90-

Antibody: Fab Fab region Variable region of the antibody Tip of the antibody Binds the antigen Specificity of antigen binding determined by VH and VL
Slide 91-

Antibody: Fc Fc region Constant region Base of the antibody Can bind cell receptors and complement proteins
Slide 92-

Antibodies occur in 2 forms Soluble Ag: secreted in blood and tissue Membrane-bound Ag: found on surface of B-cell, also known as a B-cell receptor (BCR) Antibodies exist in two forms
