The adaptive immune system has four defining characteristics: self/non-self recognition, specificity, diversity, and memory. B and T lymphocytes recognize antigens through surface receptors and respond by dividing into effector cells that combat infection, and memory cells that remember each antigen. The antibody-mediated response involves B cells producing antibodies against extracellular pathogens, while the cell-mediated response uses cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells to destroy infected or abnormal body cells.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
BREEDING METHODS FOR DISEASE RESISTANCE.pptxRASHMI M G
Plant breeding for disease resistance is a strategy to reduce crop losses caused by disease. Plants have an innate immune system that allows them to recognize pathogens and provide resistance. However, breeding for long-lasting resistance often involves combining multiple resistance genes

Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.
Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

2. 38.1 Integrated Responses to Threats
Immunity
• The capacity to resist and combat infection by
pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi
In vertebrates, innate and adaptive immune
systems work together to combat infection and
injury
3. Evolution of the Body’s Defenses
Proteins in eukaryotic cell membranes have
unique patterns that the body recognizes as self
Cells of multicelled eukaryotes have receptors
that recognize nonself cues (PAMPs) on or in
pathogens, and trigger defense responses
4. Innate Immunity
Binding of a receptor with a PAMP triggers
immediate, general defense responses that are
part of inborn innate immunity
Complement
• Proteins that destroy microorganisms or flag them
for phagocytosis
• An innate immune response
5. Adaptive Immunity
Adaptive immunity is a system of defenses that
specifically targets billions of different antigens
an individual may encounter during its lifetime
Antigen
• PAMP or other molecule the body recognizes as
nonself that triggers an active immune response
6. Three Lines of Defense
1. Physical, chemical, and mechanical barriers
• Keep pathogens outside the body
2. Innate immunity
• General responses destroy invaders inside the
body before they become established
3. Adaptive immunity
• Huge populations of white blood cells form to
target and remember a specific antigen
9. The Defenders
White blood cells (leukocytes) specialized for
different tasks carry out all immune responses
• Phagocytes (neutrophils, macrophages,
dendritic cells)
• Secretory cells (eosinophils, basophils, mast
cells
• Lymphocytes (B and T lymphocytes, natural
killer cells)
10. The Defenders
All white blood cells secrete chemicals, including
cell-to-cell signaling molecules (cytokines) that
coordinate all aspects of immunity
• Interleukins
• Interferons
• Tumor necrosis factors
15. 38.1 Key Concepts
Overview of Body Defenses
The vertebrate body has three lines of immune
defenses
• Surface barriers prevent invasion by ever-present
pathogens
• General innate responses rid the body of most
pathogens
• Adaptive responses specifically target pathogens
and cancer cells
16. 38.2 Surface Barriers
Normal flora
• Billions of microorganisms normally live on
human surfaces, including interior tubes and
cavities of digestive and respiratory tracts
A pathogen can cause infection only if it enters
the internal environment by penetrating skin or
other protective barriers at the body’s surfaces

22. 38.3 Remember to Floss
Dental plaque
• A thick, sticky biofilm of glycoproteins, bacteria,
and their products that contribute to tooth decay
and gum disease (periodontitis)
Nine of every ten cardiovascular disease
patients have serious periodontal disease
Oral bacteria associated with periodontitis are
also found in atherosclerotic plaque
24. 38.2-38.3 Key Concepts
Surface Barriers
Skin, mucous membranes, and secretions at the
body’s surfaces function as barriers that exclude
most microbes
25. 38.4 Innate Immune Responses
Innate immune mechanisms nonspecifically
eliminate pathogens that invade internal tissues
before they become established
• Phagocytes
• Complement
• Inflammation
• Fever
26. Phagocytes
Macrophages
• Large phagocytes that patrol interstitial fluid and
engulf and digest pathogens
• Secrete cytokines when receptors bind to antigen
• Cytokines attract more macrophages, neutrophils,
and dendritic cells to infection site
27. Complement
Complement proteins become activated when
they encounter antigen
• Cascading enzyme reactions concentrate
activated complement at infection site
• Complement attracts phagocytes to infection site
and tags pathogens for destruction
• Forms attack complexes that puncture bacteria
• Helps mediate active immunity
29. Fig. 38-7a, p. 664
A In some responses, complement proteins become activated when
antibodies (the Y-shaped molecules) bind to antigen—in this case, antigen
on the surface of a bacterium.

33. Inflammation
Inflammation
• A local response to tissue damage characterized
by redness, warmth, swelling and pain, triggered
by activated complement and cytokines
• Mast cells release histamine, increasing capillary
permeability
• Phagocytes and plasma proteins leak out, attack
invaders, form clots, and clean up debris

36. Fever
Fever
• A temporary rise in body temperature – above the
normal 37°C (98.6°F) – that often occurs in
response to infection
• Cytokines stimulate brain cells to release
prostaglandins, which act on the hypothalamus
• Fever enhances the immune response by
speeding up metabolism and phagocyte activity
• Fever over 40.6°C (105°F) can be dangerous
37. 38.4 Key Concepts
Innate Immunity
Innate immune responses involve a set of
general, immediate defenses against invading
pathogens
Innate immunity includes phagocytic white blood
cells, plasma proteins, inflammation, and fever
38. Evolution of the Body’s Defenses
Proteins in eukaryotic cell membranes have
unique patterns that the body recognizes as self
Cells of multicelled eukaryotes have receptors
that recognize nonself cues (PAMPs) on or in
pathogens, and trigger defense responses
39. 38.5 Overview of Adaptive Immunity
Vertebrate adaptive immunity adapts to different
antigens it encounters during its lifetime
Lymphocytes and phagocytes interact to effect
four defining characteristics: Self/nonself
recognition, specificity, diversity, and memory
40. Self/Nonself Recognition
Self versus nonself recognition
• Each kind of cell or virus has a unique identity
MHC markers
• Plasma membrane self-recognition proteins
T cell receptors (TCRs)
• Antigen receptors that recognize MHC markers
as self, antigens as nonself
41. Specificity and Diversity
Specificity
• Defenses are tailored to target specific antigens
Diversity
• There are potentially billions of different antigen
receptors on T and B cells
42. Memory
Memory
• The capacity of the adaptive immune system to
remember an antigen
• If the same antigen appears again, B and T cells
make a faster, stronger response
44. First Step – The Antigen Alert
Once a B or T cell recognizes and binds to a
specific antigen, it begins to divide by mitosis
• All descendent cells recognize the same antigen
T cells do not recognize an antigen unless it is
presented by an antigen-presenting cell
• Macrophages, B cells, and dendritic cells digest
particles and display antigen-MHC complexes
45. Cell Types
Effector cells
• Differentiated lymphocytes (B and T cells) that act
at once to fight infection
Memory cells
• Long-lived B and T cells reserved for future
encounters with the same antigen

49. Two Arms of Adaptive Immunity
Antibody-mediated immune response
• B cells produce antibodies that bind to specific
antigen particles in blood or interstitial fluid
Cell-mediated immune response
• Cytotoxic T cells and NK cells detect and destroy
infected or altered body cells
51. Intercepting and Clearing Out Antigen
After engulfing antigen-bearing particles,
dendritic cells or macrophages migrate to lymph
nodes, where T cells bind and initiate responses
During an infection, lymph nodes swell due to
accumulation of T cells
Antibody-antigen complexes bound by
complement are cleared by the liver and spleen
54. 38.6 Antibodies
and Other Antigen Receptors
Antigen receptors on B and T cells have the
potential to recognize billions of different antigens
Antibody
• Y-shaped antigen receptor (protein), made only by
B cells, that binds only to the antigen that
prompted its synthesis
• Activates complement, facilitates phagocytosis, or
neutralizes pathogens or toxins

56. Five Classes of Antibodies
Constant regions determine 5 classes of
antibodies (immunoglobins IgG, IgA, IgE, IgM,
and IgD), each with different functions
B cell receptors are membrane-bound IgM or
IgD antibodies
57. Making Antigen Receptors
Genes that encode antigen receptors occur in
several segments on different chromosomes
Different versions are randomly spliced together
during B or T cell differentiation, producing about
2.5 billion different combinations
T cells mature in the thymus, which stimulates
production of MHC and T cell receptors
59. 38.7 The Antibody-Mediated
Immune Response
Antibody-mediated immune response
• Antigen activates naïve B cells and dendritic cells
• Naïve T cell binds to APC and differentiates into
effector and memory helper T cells
• Helper T cells bind antigen-MHC complexes on
activated B cell and secrete cytokines
• B cell differentiates into effector B cells, which
produce antibodies targeting a specific antigen,
and memory B cells

cells that are missing all or part of their MHC
markers
70. 38.5-38.8 Key Concepts
Adaptive Immunity
In an adaptive immune response, white blood
cells destroy specific pathogens or altered cells
Some make antibodies in an antibody-mediated
immune response; others destroy ailing body
cells in a cell-mediated response
71. 38.10 Vaccines
Immunization
• The administration of an antigen-bearing vaccine
designed to elicit immunity to a specific disease
Vaccine (active immunization)
• A preparation containing an antigen that elicits a
primary immune response
Passive immunization
• Administration of antibodies; no immune response
72. Smallpox Vaccine
Edward Jenner created the first vaccine against
smallpox, which has now been eradicated
74. Autoimmune Disorders
Sometimes lymphocytes and antibodies fail to
discriminate between self and nonself
Autoimmune response
• An immune response that is misdirected against
the person’s own tissues
• Rheumatoid arthritis, Graves’ disease, multiple
sclerosis
75. Immunodeficiency
In immunodeficiency, the immune response is
insufficient to protect a person from disease
Primary immune deficiencies are present at birth
• SCIDs, ADA
Secondary immune deficiency results from
exposure to an outside agent, such as a virus
• AIDS
