This document provides an overview of the immune system, including both innate and acquired immunity. It describes how the innate immune system provides immediate protection through physical barriers and internal defenses like phagocytes and inflammation. If pathogens breach these defenses, the acquired immune system activates an antigen-specific response involving B and T cells that results in immunological memory. The differences between the innate and acquired systems are highlighted. Specific components of both systems like phagocytosis, inflammation, antibodies, and active/passive immunity are also explained in detail.

The immune system has evolved to protect the host from a universe of pathogenic microbes that are themselves constantly evolving. The immune system also helps the host eliminate toxic or allergenic substances that enter our body. It is a host defence system comprising many biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease. To function properly, an immune system must detect a wide variety of agents, known as pathogens, from viruses to parasitic worms, and distinguish them from the organism's own healthy tissue. The host uses both innate and adaptive mechanisms to detect and eliminate pathogenic foreign bodies. Both of these mechanisms include self-nonself discrimination.
The main parts of the immune system are:
• White Blood Cells
• Antibodies
• Complement System
• Lymphatic System
• Spleen
• Bone Marrow
• Thymus.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. INTRODUCTION TO IMMUNITY
• An immune system is a system of
• biological structures and
• processes within an organism
• that protects against disease.
• In order to function properly, an
immune system must detect a wide
variety of agents, from viruses to
parasitic worms, and distinguish them
from the organism's own healthy
tissue.
3. COUNTER ACTION OF THESE AGENTS
These agents are referred to as
pathogens – an organism or substance
that could cause a disease.
Pathogens can rapidly evolve and adapt
to avoid detection and destruction by
the immune system.
As a result, multiple defence
mechanisms have also evolved to
recognize and neutralize pathogens.
4. Physical barriers prevent pathogens
such as bacteria and viruses from
entering the organism.
If a pathogen breaches these
barriers, the innate immune system
provides an immediate, but non-
specific response.
Innate immune systems are found in all
plants and animals.
5. INNATE IMMUNE SYSTEMS
Consist of cells and proteins that are
always present and ready to mobilize and
fight microbes at the site of infection.
The main components of the innate
immune system are:
1) physical epithelial barriers,
2) phagocytic leukocytes,
3) dendritic cells,
4) a special type of lymphocyte called a natural
killer (NK) cell, and
5) circulating plasma proteins.
6. If pathogens successfully evade the
innate response, vertebrates possess a
second layer of protection, the acquired
immune system,
which is activated by the innate
response.
Here, the immune system adapts its
response during an infection to improve
its recognition of the pathogen.
This improved response is then retained
after the pathogen has been eliminated, in
the form of an immunological memory,
and allows the acquired immune system to
mount faster and stronger attacks each
time this pathogen is encountered.
7. Differences in the components of the
immune system

specific

and maximal response
Cell-mediated and
humoral components
Cell-mediated and humoral

Found in nearly all
forms of life
Found only in jawed
vertebrates
8. 2. INNATE IMMUNITY
Innate immune responses are active
immediately upon infection and are the
same whether or not the pathogen has
been encountered previously.
It includes barrier defenses
and internal defenses
9. BARRIER DEFENSE SYSTEM
Includes:
the skin
Mucus membranes of
digestive-, respiratory- urinary
and reproductive tract
oBody secretions: mucus,
saliva (lysozymes), tears, oil
gland secretions, acid in
stomach, sweat.
10. Mucus membranes
Some cells in mucus membrane
produce mucus.
Mucus is a viscous (thickness)
fluid that enhances defences –
trapping microbes and other
foreign particles
11. In the trachea, ciliated
epithelial cells sweep mucus
and the trapped microbes
upwards, helping to prevent
infection of the lungs. mucus
12. Body secretions create an
environment that in
unfavourable for microbes.
Lysozymes in saliva, mucous
secretions, and tears destroy
susceptible bacteria as they
enter the respiratory tract or
openings around eyes.
Acid in stomach kill bacteria
Oils and sweat give human skin
a pH between 3-5, which is acidic
enough to prevent the growth of
microorganisms.
13. INTERNAL DEFENSE
If the barrier defences are
damaged and pathogens do enter
the body of an organism, a second
line of defence will be activated.
This defence system is the
internal defence system and is
more sensitive and includes:
phagocytosis and inflammation.
14. PHAGOCYTOSIS
Process by which certain living
cells called phagocytes ingest or
engulf other cells or particles.
The phagocyte may be a one-
celled organism, such as an
amoeba, or one of the body cells,
such as a leukocyte (white blood
cell).
In higher animals phagocytosis
is chiefly a defensive reaction
against infection and invasion of
the body
15. Different types of phagocytic
cells:
Neutrophils engulf and destroy
microbes
Macrophages are part of the
lymphatic system and are found
throughout the body
Eosinophils discharge destructive
enzymes
Dendritic cells stimulate
development of acquired immunity
19. INFLAMMATORY RESPONSES
When injured or infected by
pathogens, signalling molecules
are released,
One example of a signalling
molecules is histamine – stored in
mast cells.
These molecules trigger the blood
vessels to dilate and become
more permeable
20. This increase local blood supply and
allow more phagocytes and
antimicrobial proteins to enter
tissues
Pus, a fluid rich in white blood cells,
dead microbes, and cell debris,
accumulates at the site of inflammation
Fever is a systemic inflammatory
response triggered by pyrogens
released by macrophages, and toxins
from pathogens
21. MAJOR EVENTS IN A LOCAL
INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE
Activated
macrophages
and mast cells
at the injury site
release
signalling
molecules that
act on nearby
capillaries.
22. The capillaries dilate and
become more
permeable, allowing
fluid containing
antimibrobial peptides
to enter the tissue.
Signaling molecules
released by immune cells
attract additional
phagocytic cells.
24. ACQUIRED IMMUNITY
Acquired immunity is a specific immune
response system through which the
body specifically detects and destroys
particular substances.
This immunity protects us against
infectious diseases as the body has
learnt to recognize foreign substances.
It produces a specific reaction to each
infectious agent, eradicating that agent
from the body.
25. This ability to recognize a pathogen
that has previously elicited an immune
response is the basis for acquiring
immunity to specific diseases.
Hence, we suffer from many diseases,
such as chicken pox, measles etc. only
once.
Thus we can summarize: Acquired
immunity involves 2 main activities:
Destruction of the invaders
Memory of this response
26. WHICH CELLS ARE INVOLVED IN
ACQUIRED IMMUNITY RESPONSE?
Special leucocytes, called the
lymphocytes are released from the
bone marrow.
Some reach the Thymus gland and
mature to form T-lymphocytes (T-
cells)
Some become B-lymphocytes (B-
cells) and is present in the bone
marrow and lymph nodes)
29. ACTIVE ACQUIRED IMMUNITY
Active immunity occurs when a
person has already been exposed
to antigens (from pathogens)
And develops a secondary response
against specific pathogens.
People receive vaccinations to
develop a primary response, and
then if they get the pathogens later,
active immunity helps to fight
them off.
30. Antigens are foreign molecules,
found on the surface of pathogens,
each pathogen has a specific antigen.
The immunity system has countless
amounts of B-Lymphocytes.
Each B-lymphocyte is able to
recognize a specific antigen.
The B-lymphocytes then produce
antibodies that will bond to the
antigens.
This will neutralize or destroy the
pathogen.
31. PASSIVE IMMUNITY
In natural passive immunity, antibodies are
passed from a mother to a child.
Antibodies can be transferred through the
placenta, or transmitted through the colostrum.
The antibodies transmitted through the
colostrum and placenta generally only last for
several weeks, which is long enough to allow
the baby to start to build up its own immune
system and to make its own antibodies.
Artificial passive immunity involves the
introduction of antibodies through means such
as injection - VACCINATIONS.
32. HUMORAL VS. CELL MEDIATED
IMMUNITY
Humoral immunity - deals with infectious
agents in the blood and body tissues
Cell-mediated immunity - deals with body
cells that have been infected.
In general, the humoral system is managed
by B-cells (with help from T-cells).
The cell-mediated system is managed by T-
cells.
33. VACCINATIONS
All vaccinations work by presenting
a foreign antigen to the immune
system in order to evoke an
immune response, but there are
several ways to do this.
We will look at 4 methods:
34. 1. Using an inactivated vaccine
An inactivated vaccine consists of
virus or bacteria that are grown in
culture and then killed .
Although the virus or bacteria particles
are destroyed and cannot replicate, the
virus capsid proteins or bacterial wall
are intact enough to be recognized
and remembered by the immune
system.
This evokes an immune response.
35. 2. Using an attenuated vaccine
In an attenuated vaccine, live virus
or bacteria with very low virulence are
administered.
They will replicate, but locally or very
slowly.
Which causes an immune response to
produce antibodies.
36. 3. Virus-like particle vaccines
Virus-like particle vaccines consist of
viral protein(s) derived from the
structural proteins of a virus.
These proteins can self-assemble into
particles that resemble the virus from
which they were derived but lack viral
nucleic acid, meaning that they are not
infectious.
The human papillomavirus and Hepatitis
B virus vaccines are two virus-like
particle-based vaccines currently in
clinical use.
37. 4. A subunit vaccine
A subunit vaccine presents an
antigen to the immune system
without introducing viral particles.
One method of production involves
isolation of a specific protein from a
virus or bacterium and administering
this by itself.
38. ANTIBIOTICS
Antibiotics are also known as anti-
bacterials.
They are drugs used to treat
infections caused by bacteria.
The first antibiotic was penicillin.
39. How do antibiotics work?
Although there are a number of
different types of antibiotic they all
work in one of two ways:
A bactericidal antibiotic kills the
bacteria. Penicillin is a bactericidal. A
bactericidal usually either interferes with
the formation of the bacterium's cell
wall or its cell contents.
A bacteriostatic stops bacteria from
multiplying.
40. If antibiotics are overused or
used incorrectly there is a
chance that the bacteria will
become resistant - the antibiotic
becomes less effective against
that type of bacterium.
