19. your grade
PFG = lecture (60%) + laboratory (40%) rating
NOTE: This will be the final grade when
exempted to take the final exams.
If the student will take the finals the rating will
be computed as follows, which should be no
lower than 60% or 3.0:
RATING = PFG (80%) + Score in Finals
Exam (20%)

20. OUR TEXTBOOK
Abbas, Abul K. and
Andrew H. Lichtman.
2004. Basic
Immunology: Function
and Disorders of the
Immune System. 2nd ed.
Monday, June 18, 2012
21. POLICIES
The student should be able to pass (PFG = 3.0) both lecture and
laboratory component to pass the course
There will be no make-up exams, missed exams will qualify
students to take the final examination. The score in the final
exam may replace the missed exam. However, in the case of
two missed exams, the other exam will have a score of zero (0)
The student should be able to incur a PFG of 2.0 or better to be
exempted to take the written final exam
Should the student fail the final exam, an oral removal exam to
satisfy the course competencies will be given to pass the course.
The grade to be given here shall only be a “pass” (3.0) or
“fail” (5.0)

49. OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
Physiologic function of the immune system:
prevent infections
eradicate established infections

50. OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
vaccines: stimulation of our Immune System
Monday, June 18, 2012
51. overview: host defense
mechanisms
INNATE: immunity which mediates the initial protection against
infections
always present in health individuals
block the entry of microbes and rapidly eliminate microbes that do
succeed in entering host tissues
ADAPTIVE: immunity which!develop more slowly and mediates innate
immunity
more effective defense against infections
specific or acquired
stimulated by microbes that invade tissues
adapts to the presence of microbial invaders
Monday, June 18, 2012
55. NOTE: ADAPTIVE RESPONSE
Immunity may be induced in an individual by infection or
vaccination (active immunity) or conferred on an individual by
transfer of antibodies or lymphocytes from an actively immunized
individual (passive immunity)
Monday, June 18, 2012
60. When naive lymphocytes
recognize microbial antigens
and also receive additional
("second) signals induced by
microbes, the antigen-specific
lymphocytes proliferate and
differentiate into effector
cells and memory cells
Naive lymphocytes express
receptors for antigens but do
not perform the functions that
are required to eliminate
antigens
Differentiation into effector
cells and memory cells is
initiated by antigen
recognition, thus ensuring that
the immune response that
develops is specific for the
antigen
