During humoral immune response, Ab production is brought about by B lymphocytes. Based on the ability to induce Ab formation, antigens can be classified into T independent and T dependent antigens. Some antigens can directly induce the B cells to produce the Abs and are called T Independent Ans. However, some Ans require the help of T lymohocytes for the production of Abs from B cells. These Ans are called T Dependent Ans.

Hematopoiesis
A hematopoietic stem cell is multipotent, or pluripotent, able to differentiate in various ways and thereby generate erythrocytes, granulocytes, monocytes, mast cells, lymphocytes, and megakaryocytes. In hematopoiesis, a multipotent stem cell differentiates along with one of two pathways giving rise to either a common lymphoid progenitor cell or a common myeloid progenitor cell.

The bone marrow is the wellspring of numerous immune and blood cells.pdfanitasahani11
The bone marrow is the wellspring of numerous immune and blood cells in the solid grown-up
creature. In the event that the bone is part the long way, a stamped contrast in tissue is taken
note. Part of the tissue is red, which is the wellspring of red and white platelets. The other bit is
yellow fat tissue that is idle. Amid a contamination, the yellow marrow can be reactivated to
wind up red marrow to help in the generation of bigger quantities of safe cells.
In the grown-up creature, every single insusceptible cell begin from hematopoietic
undifferentiated organisms situated in the bone marrow. Stems cells always isolate and separate
into different sorts of resistant cells affected by cytokines. the starting point of the cells of the
resistant framework. Cytokines are little flagging proteins that direct the conduct of the cells of
the body. The bone marrow is at last in charge of the union of eight sorts of cells: red platelets,
platelets, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, pole cells, monocytes/macrophages, T lymphocytes
and B lymphocytes. Some of these cell sorts develop in the bone marrow itself, while others
relocate through the circulatory framework and experience last development in different tissues.
Now, we will investigate quickly at a portion of the components of the cells made in the bone
marrow as a prologue to their capacity. You will take in more insights about every resistant cell
sort later when we cover particular insusceptible reactions..
The real cell sort made by the bone marrow is red platelets. Platelets likewise shape in the bone
marrow and help with development of blood clumps taking after any sort of harm. Neither of
these cell sorts assumes a part in the resistant reaction, yet we specify them here in light of the
fact that they likewise start from bone marrow undifferentiated organisms and are basic segments
of the blood.
Polymorphonuclear granulocytes is the general term given to neutrophils, eosinophils and
basophils. The primary portion of the name portrays the presence of the core that is by all
accounts split into various diverse flaps. In actuality, the core is coterminous, yet contains
numerous infoldings, which give it a polynuclear appearance. Whatever is left of the name
originates from the presence of the cytoplasm, which looks spotted. The cytoplasm is loaded
with granules that contain mixes and chemicals imperative in satisfying the capacity of every cell
sort. Polymorphonuclear granulocytes make up 50-70% of the white platelets found in blood.
They last just around three days and must be supplanted at a rate of 80 million cells for each
moment.
Neutrophils are the most well-known sort of polymorphonuclear cells, making up 90% of
granulocytes in the blood. These cells work as phagocytes in assaulting and decimating
irresistible specialists. We will cover their parts in more detail when we examine phagocytes.
Eosinophils make up 2-5% of granulocytes in the blood, however this number can rise
signifi.
HEMATOPOIESIS: ORIGIN OF BLOOD CELLS AND BLOOD PLASMAharshalshelke4
Hematopoiesis is the process in which all Blood lineages are produced from Hematopoietic Stem cells. Through series of Progenitor cells, Hematopoietic stem cells produce a large number of Adult Stem cells. Hematopoietic Stem cells have the ability of self-renewal and self-division This Divisional event results in the Differentiation of Hematopoietic Stem cells into –Lymphocytes, Granulocytes, Monocytes, etc. Progenitor cells also contain cells that act as our body's Defense mechanism. This Always active defense mechanism consists of T cells, B cells, and Natural Killer cells. These cells work together to fight against any viruses or any pathogen and destroy them or exclude them out of the body. By understanding the Hematopoietic process and Defense mechanism, development has been done in the formation of new therapies for curing specific diseases. The basic concept of Stem cell production and its classification are defined here. This paper includes the concept of the production of Progenitor cell lineages which are classified as Lymphoid Progenitor cells and Myeloid Progenitor cells. Here we discuss the Embryonic development and classification of each blood lineages.
Leukocytes constitute the cellular components of the innate and adaptive immune system and are critical for host defense. These cells mediate acute and chronic inflammation, modulate immune responses, and protect the host against numerous pathogens.
Disorders affecting leukocytes can be divided broadly into malignant disorders (tumors of leukocytes or their progenitors) and non-malignant disorders.
The malignant disorders are uncommon but clinically important entities
Non- malignant leukocyte disorders can involve any any of the leukocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, B cells, T cells, and natural killer cells)
but the disorders of greatest clinical relevance affect neutrophils; these will be our major focus.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

86. Thymus Diagrammatic cross section ofa portion of the thymus, showing several lobules separated by connective tissue strands (trabeculae). The densely populated outer cortex contains many immature thymocytes (blue), which undergo rapid proliferation coupled with an enormous rate of cell death. The medulla is sparsely populated and contains thymocytes that are more mature. During their stay within the thymus, thymocytes interact with various stromal cells, including cortical epithelial cells (light red), medullary epithelial cells (tan), dendritic cells (purple), and macrophages (yellow). These cells produce regulatory factors and express high levels of class I and class II MHC molecules. Hassall’s corpuscles, found in the medulla, contain concentric layers of degenerating epithelial cells.

97. Structure of a Lymph Node The three layers of a lymph node support distinct microenvironments.
98. Structure of a Lymph Node . The left side depicts the arrangement of reticulum and lymphocytes within the various regions of a lymph node. Macrophages and dendritic cells, which trap antigen, are present in the cortex and paracortex. T H cells are concentrated in the paracortex; B cells are primarily in the cortex, within follicles and germinal centers. The medulla is populated largely by antibody-producing plasma cells. Lymphocytes circulating in the lymph are carried into the node by afferent lymphatic vessels, they either enter the reticular matrix of the node or pass through it and leave by the efferent lymphatic vessel. The right side depicts the lymphatic artery and vein and the postcapillary venules. Lymphocytes in the circulation can pass into the node from the postcapillary venules by a process called extravasation (inset)
100. Structure of the Spleen The spleen, which is about 5 inches long in the adult, is the largest lymphoid organ. It is specialized for trapping blood-borne antigens. Diagrammatic cross section of the spleen. The splenic artery pierces the capsule and divides into progressively smaller arterioles, ending in vascular sinusoides that drain back into the splenic vein. The erythrocyte-filled red pulp surrounds the sinusoids. The white pulp forms a sleeve, the periarteriolar lymphoid sheath (PALS), around the arterioles; this sheath contains numerous T cells. Closely associated with PALS is the marginal zone, an area rich in B cells that contains lymphoid follicles that can develop into secondary follicles containing germinal centers.
102. Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) Cross-sectional diagram of the mucous membrane ling the intestine, showing a Peyer’s patch lymphoid nodule in the submucosa. The intestinal lamina contains loose clusters of lymphoid cells and diffuse follicles.
103. Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) Structure of the M cells and production of Ig A at inductive sites. M cells,situated in mucous membranes, endocytose antigen from the lumen of the digestive, respiratory, and urogenital tracts. The antigen is transported into the large basolateral pocket.
104. Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) Antigen transported across the epithelial layer by M cells at an inductive site activates B cells in the underlying lymphoid follicles. The activated B cells differentiate into IgA-producing plasma cells, which migrate along the submucosa. The outer mucosal epithelial layer contains intraepithelial lymphocytes, of which are T cells.
107. Cutaneous Associated Lymphoid Tissue (CALT) The skin is the largest organ in the body and plays an important role in nonspecific (innate ) defences. The epidermal (outer) layer of the skin is composed of specialized cells called keratinocytes. These cells secrete a number of cytokines that may function in local inflammatory reaction. Scattered among the epithelial-cell matrix of the epidermis are Langerhann’s cells, atype of dendritic cell, which internalize antigen by phagocytosis or endocytosis. They undergo maturation and migrate from the epidermis to regional lymph nodes, where they function as potent activators of naïve T H cells. In addition to Langerhans cells, the epidermis also contaions so-called intraepidermal lymphocytes, which are mostly T cells. The underlying dermal layer of the skin also contains scattered T cells and macrophages. Most of these dermal cells appear to be either previously activated cells or memory cells.
