The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance, absorbs fats, and aids the immune system. It contains lymph vessels, lymph nodes, lymph, the spleen, thymus, and tonsils. Lymph nodes filter lymph and add infection-fighting lymphocytes. Together with nonspecific defenses like skin and inflammatory response, and specific defenses like antibodies and lymphocytes, the immune system protects the body from pathogens. Disorders can cause allergic reactions, immunodeficiencies, or autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. The lymphatic system develops after birth as the baby gains its own active immunity.
The term immunity refers to the body’s specific protective response to an invading foreign agent or organism.
The human body has the ability to resist almost all types of organisms or toxins that tend to damage the tissues and organs. The capability is called immunity.

IMMUNITY:
INTRODUCTION:
Our immune system is essential for our survival.
Without an immune system, our bodies would be open to attack from bacteria, viruses, parasites, and more.
It is our immune system that keeps us healthy as we drift through a sea of pathogens.

It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

2. What is Lymphatic System?
•The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs
that primarily consists of lymph vessels, lymph nodes
and lymph.
•Is part of the body’s defense system against
microorganisms and other harmful substances. In
addition, it help maintain fluid balance in tissues and to
absorbs fats from the digestive tract.
3. Lymph
•Lymph is the fluid that circulates throughout the lymphatic
system.
•Lymph returns proteins and excess interstitial fluid to the
bloodstream. Lymph may pick up bacteria and bring them
to lymph nodes where they are destroyed.
Harmful materials that enter lymph vessels:
• Bacteria
• Viruses
• Cancer cells
• Cell debris
4. 1. Lymph Vessels
Like arteries and veins, lymphatic vessels
sprawl in a connected system to collect the
lymph that leaks from the blood capillaries
and conduct it to the large veins of the
neck. The network functions to return
lymph to the general circulation.
5. 2. Lymph Nodes
They filter the lymph that passes through the vessels
and add lymphocytes to it.
- Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell. There are
two types, small lymphocytes and large lymphocytes,
and they defend the host from disease and infection.
6. 3. Tonsils
A main function of tonsils is to trap germs
(bacteria and viruses) which you may breathe in.
Proteins called antibodies produced by the
immune cells in the tonsils help to kill germs and
help to prevent throat and lung infections.
7. 4. Thymus
The function of the thymus is to receive
immature T cells that are produced in the red
bone marrow and train them into functional,
mature T cells that attack only foreign cells.
8. 5. Spleen
The largest organ of the lymphatic system,
processes blood and removes dead or defective red
blood cells, and keeps a reserve of blood in case of
hemorrhaging. It also produces new red blood cells
in a developing fetus.
The spleen also serves as a site where lymphocyte
populations increase.
Did you know that you can live without a spleen? Your liver will take
over some of the spleen's work!

10. Body Defenses
The body is constantly in contact with bacteria, fungi,
and viruses.
The body has two defense systems for foreign materials:
•Nonspecific defense system
•Specific defense system
11. Nonspecificdefensesystem
•Mechanisms protect against a variety of invaders
•Responds immediately to protect body from foreign
materials
•Provided by body surface coverings
- intact skin, mucous membrane, cellular proteins and
inflammatory response.
•Specialized human cells
•Chemicals produced by the body as the immune system.
Body Defenses
14. 1st Line of Defense (Surface Membrane Barriers)
1. The skin
• Physical barrier to foreign materials
• pH of the skin is acidic to inhibit bacterial growth
• Sebum is toxic to bacteria
• Vaginal secretions are very acidic
2. Stomach mucosa
• Secretes hydrochloric acid
• Has protein-digesting enzymes
- Saliva and lacrimal fluid contain lysozyme
- Mucus traps microogranisms in digestive and respiratory
pathways
15. Defensive Cells
Phagocytes
(neutrophils and
macrophages)
• Engulfs foreign material into
a vacuole
• Enzymes from lysosomes
digest the material
Natural killer cells
• Can lyse and kill cancer cells
• Can destroy virus- infected
cells
16. 2nd Line of Defense (Inflammatory Response)
•Triggered when body tissues are injured
•Produces four cardinal signs
1. Redness
2. Heat
3. Swelling
4. Pain
•Results in a chain of events leading to protection and
healing
Inflammatory response
17. Functions of the Inflammatory Response
• Prevents spread of damaging agents
• Disposes of cell debris and pathogens
• Sets the stage for repair
18. The Inflammatory Response
•Begins with a chemical ‘alarm”- Histamines when
cells are injured
•Blood vessels dilate increases blood flow to area
causing redness and heat.
•Capillary beds become permeable becoming
leaky, which increases edema
•Pain receptors are activated
•Phagocytes and WBC are attracted to the area:
- Chemotaxis = cells follow chemical gradient
19. 3rd Line of Defense (The Immune System )
•Antigen specific – recognizes and acts against
particular foreign substances
•It stalks and eliminates any invading pathogen
•Systemic – not restricted to the initial infection site
•Has memory – recognizes and mounts a stronger
attack on previously encountered pathogens
20. 2 Types of Immunity
Humoral immunity
• Its Antibody-mediated immunity where antibodies are
present in the body’s fluids
• Cells produce chemicals for defense
Cellular immunity
• Cell-mediated immunity where lymphocytes themselves
defend the body.
• Cells are the protective factors that target virus infected
cells
21. Antigens
(Nonself = foreign intruders)
•Antigen = any substance capable of exciting the
immune system and provoking an immune response
•Examples of common antigens:
• foreign proteins, nucleic acids, large carbohydrates,
pollen grains, microorganisms
•As the immunity system develops, it inventories all
these proteins so it recognizes them as self.
22. Self - Antigens
• Human cells have many surface proteins
• Our immune cells do not attack our own proteins
• Our cells in another person’s body can trigger an
immune response because they are foreign
•Restricts donors for transplants
23. Passive Immunity
• Antibodies are obtained from someone else
- From a mother to her fetus
- Artificially from immune serum or gamma globulin
• Immunological memory does not occur.
• Protection provided by “borrowed antibodies” is
short-lived
24. Disorders of the Immunity
1. Allergies (Hypersensitivity)
Reaction with allergen
2. Immunodeficiencies
Production or function of immune cells or complement is abnormal
3. Autoimmune Diseases
The immune system does not distinguish between self and nonself
The body produces antibodies and sensitized T lymphocytes that attack its
own tissues
25. Developmental Aspects of the Lymphatic System
•Lymphoid organs are poorly developed before birth, except
the thymus & spleen
•A newborn has no functioning lymphocytes at birth; only
passive immunity from the mother
•If lymphatics are removed or lost, severe edema results, but
vessels grow back in time.

Edema – excess fluid
substance that stimulates production of antibody: a substance, usually a protein, on the surface of a cell or bacterium that stimulates the production of an antibody.
Passive immunization is used when there is a high risk of infection and insufficient time for the body to develop its own immune response, or to reduce the symptoms of ongoing or immunosuppressive diseases.
In 1890 antibody therapy was used to treat tetanus, when serum from immunized horses was injected into patients with severe tetanus in an attempt to neutralize the tetanus toxin, and prevent the dissemination of the disease.
