1. The immune system recognizes foreign bodies and responds with immune cells and proteins. It consists of innate and adaptive immunity. 2. Innate immunity provides immediate defenses and involves barriers and nonspecific responses. Adaptive immunity develops after exposure and involves specific responses using B and T cells with pathogen-specific receptors. 3. The lecture discusses the immune defenses of invertebrates and vertebrates, including barriers, phagocytes, antimicrobial proteins, inflammation, and natural killer cells as part of innate immunity. Adaptive immunity provides specific responses through B and T cells and antibodies.

LECTURE PRESENTATIONS For CAMPBELL BIOLOGY, NINTH EDITION Jane B. Reece, Lisa A. Urry, Michael L. Cain, Steven A. Wasserman, Peter V. Minorsky, Robert B. Jackson © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Lectures by Erin Barley Kathleen Fitzpatrick The Immune System Chapter 43
Overview: Recognition and Response • Pathogens, agents that cause disease, infect a wide range of animals, including humans • The immune system recognizes foreign bodies and responds with the production of immune cells and proteins • All animals have innate immunity, a defense active immediately upon infection • Vertebrates also have adaptive immunity © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 43.1
• Innate immunity is present before any exposure to pathogens and is effective from the time of birth • It involves nonspecific responses to pathogens • Innate immunity consists of external barriers plus internal cellular and chemical defenses © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Adaptive immunity, or acquired immunity, develops after exposure to agents such as microbes, toxins, or other foreign substances • It involves a very specific response to pathogens © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Pathogens (such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses) INNATE IMMUNITY (all animals) • Rapid response Recognition of traits shared by broad ranges of pathogens, using a small set of receptors • Recognition of traits specific to particular pathogens, using a vast array of receptors • • Slower response Barrier defenses: Skin Mucous membranes Secretions Internal defenses: Phagocytic cells Natural killer cells Antimicrobial proteins Inflammatory response Humoral response: Antibodies defend against infection in body fluids. Cell-mediated response: Cytotoxic cells defend against infection in body cells. ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY (vertebrates only) Figure 43.2
Concept 43.1: In innate immunity, recognition and response rely on traits common to groups of pathogens • Innate immunity is found in all animals and plants • In vertebrates, innate immunity is a first response to infections and also serves as the foundation of adaptive immunity © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Innate Immunity of Invertebrates • In insects, an exoskeleton made of chitin forms the first barrier to pathogens • The digestive system is protected by a chitin- based barrier and lysozyme, an enzyme that breaks down bacterial cell walls • Hemocytes circulate within hemolymph and carry out phagocytosis, the ingestion and digestion of foreign substances including bacteria © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Innate Immunity of Vertebrates • The immune system of mammals is the best understood of the vertebrates • Innate defenses include barrier defenses, phagocytosis, antimicrobial peptides • Additional defenses are unique to vertebrates: natural killer cells, interferons, and the inflammatory response © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Barrier Defenses • Barrier defenses include the skin and mucous membranes of the respiratory, urinary, and reproductive tracts • Mucus traps and allows for the removal of microbes • Many body fluids including saliva, mucus, and tears are hostile to many microbes • The low pH of skin and the digestive system prevents growth of many bacteria © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Cellular Innate Defenses • Pathogens entering the mammalian body are subject to phagocytosis • Phagocytic cells recognize groups of pathogens by TLRs, Toll-like receptors © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

• A white blood cell engulfs a microbe, then fuses with a lysosome to destroy the microbe • There are different types of phagocytic cells – Neutrophils engulf and destroy pathogens – Macrophages are found throughout the body – Dendritic cells stimulate development of adaptive immunity – Eosinophils discharge destructive enzymes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Cellular innate defenses in vertebrates also involve natural killer cells • These circulate through the body and detect abnormal cells • They release chemicals leading to cell death, inhibiting the spread of virally infected or cancerous cells • Many cellular innate defenses involve the lymphatic system © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Thymus Peyer’s patches (small intestine) Appendix (cecum) Adenoid Tonsils Lymphatic vessels Spleen Lymph nodes Lymph node Blood capillary Interstitial fluid Tissue cells Lymphatic vessel Lymphatic vessel Masses of defensive cells Figure 43.7
Antimicrobial Peptides and Proteins • Peptides and proteins function in innate defense by attacking pathogens or impeding their reproduction • Interferon proteins provide innate defense, interfering with viruses and helping activate macrophages • About 30 proteins make up the complement system, which causes lysis of invading cells and helps trigger inflammation © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Inflammatory Responses • The inflammatory response, such as pain and swelling, is brought about by molecules released upon injury of infection • Mast cells, a type of connective tissue, release histamine, which triggers blood vessels to dilate and become more permeable • Activated macrophages and neutrophils release cytokines, signaling molecules that enhance the immune response © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

• Inflammation can be either local or systemic (throughout the body) • Fever is a systemic inflammatory response triggered by pyrogens released by macrophages and by toxins from pathogens • Septic shock is a life-threatening condition caused by an overwhelming inflammatory response © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Evasion of Innate Immunity by Pathogens • Some pathogens avoid destruction by modifying their surface to prevent recognition or by resisting breakdown following phagocytosis • Tuberculosis (TB) is one such disease and kills more than a million people a year © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Concept 43.2: In adaptive immunity, receptors provide pathogen-specific recognition • The adaptive response relies on two types of lymphocytes, or white blood cells • Lymphocytes that mature in the thymus above the heart are called T cells, and those that mature in bone marrow are called B cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Antigens are substances that can elicit a response from a B or T cell • Exposure to the pathogen activates B and T cells with antigen receptors specific for parts of that pathogen • The small accessible part of an antigen that binds to an antigen receptor is called an epitope © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 43.UN01 Antigen receptors Mature B cell Mature T cell
• B cells and T cells have receptor proteins that can bind to foreign molecules • Each individual lymphocyte is specialized to recognize a specific type of molecule © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Antigen Recognition by B Cells and Antibodies • Each B cell antigen receptor is a Y-shaped molecule with two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains • The constant regions of the chains vary little among B cells, whereas the variable regions differ greatly • The variable regions provide antigen specificity © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

• T cells bind to antigen fragments displayed or presented on a host cell • These antigen fragments are bound to cell- surface proteins called MHC molecules • MHC (major histocompatibility complex) molecules are host proteins that display the antigen fragments on the cell surface © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• In infected cells, MHC molecules bind and transport antigen fragments to the cell surface, a process called antigen presentation • A T cell can then bind both the antigen fragment and the MHC molecule • This interaction is necessary for the T cell to participate in the adaptive immune response © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

B Cell and T Cell Development • The adaptive immune system has four major characteristics – Diversity of lymphocytes and receptors – Self-tolerance; lack of reactivity against an animal’s own molecules – B and T cells proliferate after activation – Immunological memory © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Generation of B and T Cell Diversity • By combining variable elements, the immune system assembles a diverse variety of antigen receptors • The immunoglobulin (Ig) gene encodes one chain of the B cell receptor • Many different chains can be produced from the same gene by rearrangement of the DNA • Rearranged DNA is transcribed and translated and the antigen receptor formed © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Origin of Self-Tolerance • Antigen receptors are generated by random rearrangement of DNA • As lymphocytes mature in bone marrow or the thymus, they are tested for self-reactivity • Some B and T cells with receptors specific for the body’s own molecules are destroyed by apoptosis, or programmed cell death • The remainder are rendered nonfunctional © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Proliferation of B Cells and T Cells • In the body there are few lymphocytes with antigen receptors for any particular epitope • In the lymph nodes, an antigen is exposed to a steady stream of lymphocytes until a match is made • This binding of a mature lymphocyte to an antigen initiates events that activate the lymphocyte © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Once activated, a B or T cell undergoes multiple cell divisions • This proliferation of lymphocytes is called clonal selection • Two types of clones are produced: short-lived activated effector cells that act immediately against the antigen and long-lived memory cells that can give rise to effector cells if the same antigen is encountered again © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Antigen Antigen receptor Antibody Plasma cellsMemory cells B cells that differ in antigen specificity Figure 43.14
• Immunological memory is responsible for long- term protections against diseases, due to either a prior infection or vaccination • The first exposure to a specific antigen represents the primary immune response • During this time, selected B and T cells give rise to their effector forms • In the secondary immune response, memory cells facilitate a faster, more efficient response © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Concept 43.3: Adaptive immunity defends against infection of body fluids and body cells • Acquired immunity has two branches: the humoral immune response and the cell-mediated immune response • In the humoral immune response antibodies help neutralize or eliminate toxins and pathogens in the blood and lymph • In the cell-mediated immune response specialized T cells destroy affected host cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Helper T Cells: A Response to Nearly All Antigens • A type of T cell called a helper t cell triggers both the humoral and cell-mediated immune responses • Signals from helper T cells initiate production of antibodies that neutralize pathogens and activate T cells that kill infected cells • Antigen-presenting cells have class I and class II MHC molecules on their surfaces © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Class II MHC molecules are the basis upon which antigen-presenting cells are recognized • Antigen receptors on the surface of helper T cells bind to the antigen and the class II MHC molecule; then signals are exchanged between the two cells • The helper T cell is activated, proliferates, and forms a clone of helper T cells, which then activate the appropriate B cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

B Cells and Antibodies: A Response to Extracellular Pathogens • The humoral response is characterized by secretion of antibodies by B cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Activation of B Cells • Activation of the humoral immune response involves B cells and helper T cells as well as proteins on the surface of pathogens • In response to cytokines from helper T cells and an antigen, a B cell proliferates and differentiates into memory B cells and antibody secreting effector cells called plasma cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Antibody Function • Antibodies do not kill pathogens; instead they mark pathogens for destruction • In neutralization, antibodies bind to viral surface proteins preventing infection of a host cell • Antibodies may also bind to toxins in body fluids and prevent them from entering body cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• In opsonization, antibodies bind to antigens on bacteria creating a target for macrophages or neutrophils, triggering phagocytosis • Antigen-antibody complexes may bind to a complement protein—which triggers a cascade of complement protein activation • Ultimately a membrane attack complex forms a pore in the membrane of the foreign cell, leading to its lysis © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

• B cells can express five different forms (or classes) of immunoglobulin (Ig) with similar antigen-binding specificity but different heavy chain C regions – IgD: Membrane bound – IgM: First soluble class produced – IgG: Second soluble class; most abundant – IgA and IgE: Remaining soluble classes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Both the humoral and cell-mediated responses can include primary and secondary immune response • Memory cells enable the secondary response © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Summary of the Humoral and Cell- Mediated Immune Responses
Active and Passive Immunization • Active immunity develops naturally when memory cells form clones in response to an infection • It can also develop following immunization, also called vaccination • In immunization, a nonpathogenic form of a microbe or part of a microbe elicits an immune response to an immunological memory © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Passive immunity provides immediate, short-term protection • It is conferred naturally when IgG crosses the placenta from mother to fetus or when IgA passes from mother to infant in breast milk • It can be conferred artificially by injecting antibodies into a nonimmune person © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Immune Rejection • Cells transferred from one person to another can be attacked by immune defenses • This complicates blood transfusions or the transplant of tissues or organs © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Groups • Antigens on red blood cells determine whether a person has blood type A (A antigen), B (B antigen), AB (both A and B antigens), or O (neither antigen) • Antibodies to nonself blood types exist in the body • Transfusion with incompatible blood leads to destruction of the transfused cells • Recipient-donor combinations can be fatal or safe © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Tissue and Organ Transplants • MHC molecules are different among genetically nonidentical individuals • Differences in MHC molecules stimulate rejection of tissue grafts and organ transplants © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Chances of successful transplantation increase if donor and recipient MHC tissue types are well matched • Immunosuppressive drugs facilitate transplantation • Lymphocytes in bone marrow transplants may cause the donor tissue to reject the recipient © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Concept 43.4: Disruptions in immune system function can elicit or exacerbate disease • Some pathogens have evolved to diminish the effectiveness of host immune responses © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Exaggerated, Self-Directed, and Diminished Immune Responses • If the delicate balance of the immune system is disrupted, effects range from minor to sometimes fatal © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Allergies • Allergies are exaggerated (hypersensitive) responses to antigens called allergens • In localized allergies such as hay fever, IgE antibodies produced after first exposure to an allergen attach to receptors on mast cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 43.22 IgE Allergen Histamine Granule Mast cell
• The next time the allergen enters the body, it binds to mast cell–associated IgE molecules • Mast cells release histamine and other mediators that cause vascular changes leading to typical allergy symptoms • An acute allergic response can lead to anaphylactic shock, a life-threatening reaction, within seconds of allergen exposure © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Autoimmune Diseases • In individuals with autoimmune diseases, the immune system loses tolerance for self and turns against certain molecules of the body • Autoimmune diseases include systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus, and multiple sclerosis © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 43.23
Exertion, Stress, and the Immune System • Moderate exercise improves immune system function • Psychological stress has been shown to disrupt immune system regulation by altering the interactions of the hormonal, nervous, and immune systems • Sufficient rest is also important for immunity © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Immunodeficiency Diseases • Inborn immunodeficiency results from hereditary or developmental defects that prevent proper functioning of innate, humoral, and/or cell-mediated defenses • Acquired immunodeficiency develops later in life and results from exposure to chemical and biological agents • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is caused by a virus © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Evolutionary Adaptations of Pathogens That Underlie Immune System Avoidance • Pathogens have evolved mechanisms to thwart immune responses © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Antigenic Variation • Through antigenic variation, some pathogens are able to change epitope expression and prevent recognition • The human influenza virus mutates rapidly, and new flu vaccines must be made each year • Human viruses occasionally exchange genes with the viruses of domesticated animals • This poses a danger as human immune systems are unable to recognize the new viral strain © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    LECTURE PRESENTATIONS For CAMPBELLBIOLOGY, NINTH EDITION Jane B. Reece, Lisa A. Urry, Michael L. Cain, Steven A. Wasserman, Peter V. Minorsky, Robert B. Jackson © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Lectures by Erin Barley Kathleen Fitzpatrick The Immune System Chapter 43
  • 2.
    Overview: Recognition andResponse • Pathogens, agents that cause disease, infect a wide range of animals, including humans • The immune system recognizes foreign bodies and responds with the production of immune cells and proteins • All animals have innate immunity, a defense active immediately upon infection • Vertebrates also have adaptive immunity © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 3.
  • 4.
    • Innate immunityis present before any exposure to pathogens and is effective from the time of birth • It involves nonspecific responses to pathogens • Innate immunity consists of external barriers plus internal cellular and chemical defenses © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 5.
    • Adaptive immunity,or acquired immunity, develops after exposure to agents such as microbes, toxins, or other foreign substances • It involves a very specific response to pathogens © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 6.
    Pathogens (such as bacteria, fungi,and viruses) INNATE IMMUNITY (all animals) • Rapid response Recognition of traits shared by broad ranges of pathogens, using a small set of receptors • Recognition of traits specific to particular pathogens, using a vast array of receptors • • Slower response Barrier defenses: Skin Mucous membranes Secretions Internal defenses: Phagocytic cells Natural killer cells Antimicrobial proteins Inflammatory response Humoral response: Antibodies defend against infection in body fluids. Cell-mediated response: Cytotoxic cells defend against infection in body cells. ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY (vertebrates only) Figure 43.2
  • 7.
    Concept 43.1: Ininnate immunity, recognition and response rely on traits common to groups of pathogens • Innate immunity is found in all animals and plants • In vertebrates, innate immunity is a first response to infections and also serves as the foundation of adaptive immunity © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 8.
    Innate Immunity ofInvertebrates • In insects, an exoskeleton made of chitin forms the first barrier to pathogens • The digestive system is protected by a chitin- based barrier and lysozyme, an enzyme that breaks down bacterial cell walls • Hemocytes circulate within hemolymph and carry out phagocytosis, the ingestion and digestion of foreign substances including bacteria © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 9.
  • 10.
    • Hemocytes alsosecrete antimicrobial peptides that disrupt the plasma membranes of fungi and bacteria © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 11.
  • 12.
    • The immunesystem recognizes bacteria and fungi by structures on their cell walls • An immune response varies with the class of pathogen encountered © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    Innate Immunity ofVertebrates • The immune system of mammals is the best understood of the vertebrates • Innate defenses include barrier defenses, phagocytosis, antimicrobial peptides • Additional defenses are unique to vertebrates: natural killer cells, interferons, and the inflammatory response © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 19.
    Barrier Defenses • Barrierdefenses include the skin and mucous membranes of the respiratory, urinary, and reproductive tracts • Mucus traps and allows for the removal of microbes • Many body fluids including saliva, mucus, and tears are hostile to many microbes • The low pH of skin and the digestive system prevents growth of many bacteria © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 20.
    Cellular Innate Defenses •Pathogens entering the mammalian body are subject to phagocytosis • Phagocytic cells recognize groups of pathogens by TLRs, Toll-like receptors © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 22.
  • 23.
    • A whiteblood cell engulfs a microbe, then fuses with a lysosome to destroy the microbe • There are different types of phagocytic cells – Neutrophils engulf and destroy pathogens – Macrophages are found throughout the body – Dendritic cells stimulate development of adaptive immunity – Eosinophils discharge destructive enzymes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 24.
    • Cellular innatedefenses in vertebrates also involve natural killer cells • These circulate through the body and detect abnormal cells • They release chemicals leading to cell death, inhibiting the spread of virally infected or cancerous cells • Many cellular innate defenses involve the lymphatic system © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 25.
  • 26.
    Antimicrobial Peptides andProteins • Peptides and proteins function in innate defense by attacking pathogens or impeding their reproduction • Interferon proteins provide innate defense, interfering with viruses and helping activate macrophages • About 30 proteins make up the complement system, which causes lysis of invading cells and helps trigger inflammation © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 27.
    Inflammatory Responses • Theinflammatory response, such as pain and swelling, is brought about by molecules released upon injury of infection • Mast cells, a type of connective tissue, release histamine, which triggers blood vessels to dilate and become more permeable • Activated macrophages and neutrophils release cytokines, signaling molecules that enhance the immune response © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    • Inflammation canbe either local or systemic (throughout the body) • Fever is a systemic inflammatory response triggered by pyrogens released by macrophages and by toxins from pathogens • Septic shock is a life-threatening condition caused by an overwhelming inflammatory response © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 33.
    Evasion of InnateImmunity by Pathogens • Some pathogens avoid destruction by modifying their surface to prevent recognition or by resisting breakdown following phagocytosis • Tuberculosis (TB) is one such disease and kills more than a million people a year © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 34.
    Concept 43.2: Inadaptive immunity, receptors provide pathogen-specific recognition • The adaptive response relies on two types of lymphocytes, or white blood cells • Lymphocytes that mature in the thymus above the heart are called T cells, and those that mature in bone marrow are called B cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 35.
    • Antigens aresubstances that can elicit a response from a B or T cell • Exposure to the pathogen activates B and T cells with antigen receptors specific for parts of that pathogen • The small accessible part of an antigen that binds to an antigen receptor is called an epitope © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 36.
  • 37.
    • B cellsand T cells have receptor proteins that can bind to foreign molecules • Each individual lymphocyte is specialized to recognize a specific type of molecule © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 38.
    Antigen Recognition byB Cells and Antibodies • Each B cell antigen receptor is a Y-shaped molecule with two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains • The constant regions of the chains vary little among B cells, whereas the variable regions differ greatly • The variable regions provide antigen specificity © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    • T cellsbind to antigen fragments displayed or presented on a host cell • These antigen fragments are bound to cell- surface proteins called MHC molecules • MHC (major histocompatibility complex) molecules are host proteins that display the antigen fragments on the cell surface © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 48.
    • In infectedcells, MHC molecules bind and transport antigen fragments to the cell surface, a process called antigen presentation • A T cell can then bind both the antigen fragment and the MHC molecule • This interaction is necessary for the T cell to participate in the adaptive immune response © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    Origin of Self-Tolerance •Antigen receptors are generated by random rearrangement of DNA • As lymphocytes mature in bone marrow or the thymus, they are tested for self-reactivity • Some B and T cells with receptors specific for the body’s own molecules are destroyed by apoptosis, or programmed cell death • The remainder are rendered nonfunctional © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 56.
    Proliferation of BCells and T Cells • In the body there are few lymphocytes with antigen receptors for any particular epitope • In the lymph nodes, an antigen is exposed to a steady stream of lymphocytes until a match is made • This binding of a mature lymphocyte to an antigen initiates events that activate the lymphocyte © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 57.
    • Once activated,a B or T cell undergoes multiple cell divisions • This proliferation of lymphocytes is called clonal selection • Two types of clones are produced: short-lived activated effector cells that act immediately against the antigen and long-lived memory cells that can give rise to effector cells if the same antigen is encountered again © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    Concept 43.3: Adaptiveimmunity defends against infection of body fluids and body cells • Acquired immunity has two branches: the humoral immune response and the cell-mediated immune response • In the humoral immune response antibodies help neutralize or eliminate toxins and pathogens in the blood and lymph • In the cell-mediated immune response specialized T cells destroy affected host cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 63.
    Helper T Cells:A Response to Nearly All Antigens • A type of T cell called a helper t cell triggers both the humoral and cell-mediated immune responses • Signals from helper T cells initiate production of antibodies that neutralize pathogens and activate T cells that kill infected cells • Antigen-presenting cells have class I and class II MHC molecules on their surfaces © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 64.
    • Class IIMHC molecules are the basis upon which antigen-presenting cells are recognized • Antigen receptors on the surface of helper T cells bind to the antigen and the class II MHC molecule; then signals are exchanged between the two cells • The helper T cell is activated, proliferates, and forms a clone of helper T cells, which then activate the appropriate B cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

    Antibody Function • Antibodiesdo not kill pathogens; instead they mark pathogens for destruction • In neutralization, antibodies bind to viral surface proteins preventing infection of a host cell • Antibodies may also bind to toxins in body fluids and prevent them from entering body cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 78.
    • In opsonization,antibodies bind to antigens on bacteria creating a target for macrophages or neutrophils, triggering phagocytosis • Antigen-antibody complexes may bind to a complement protein—which triggers a cascade of complement protein activation • Ultimately a membrane attack complex forms a pore in the membrane of the foreign cell, leading to its lysis © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
