The Immune Response
The Results of Ag-Ab Binding
Figure 17.9
Antibody titer:
• Is the amount of Ab in serum
Figure 17.10
Monoclonal Antibodies
• Hybridomas are produced by fusing a cancer cell with an Ab-secreting plasma cells
• The hybridoma cell culture is immortal and produces monoclonal Abs (Mabs)
• Immunotoxins: Mabs conjugated with a toxin to target cancer cells
• Chimeric Mabs: Genetically modified mice that produce Ab with a human constant region
• Humanized Mabs: Mabs that are mostly human, except for mouse antigen-binding
Monoclonal Antibodies

• Interleukin-1Stimulates TH cells
• Interleukin-2Activates TH, B, TC, and NK cells
• Interleukin-12 Differentiation of CD4 cells
• -Interferon Increase activity of macrophages
• Chemokines Cause leukocytes to move to an infection
Immune system cells communicate via cytokines
• Specialized lymphocytes, mostly T cells, respond to intracellular Ags
• After differentiating in the thymus, T cells migrate to lymphoid tissue
• T cells differentiate into effector T cells when stimulated by an Ag
• Some effector T cells become memory cells
Cell-Mediated Immunity
• M (microfold) cells in Peyer's patches which contains
• Dendritic cells which are antigen-presenting cells and
• T cells
Pathogens entering the gastrointestinal or respiratory tracts pass through:
Dendritic cells present antigens

• Helper T Cells (CD4, TH)
• TH1 Activate cells related to cell-mediated immunity
• TH2 Activate B cells to produce eosinophils, IgM, and IgE
• Cytotoxic T Cells (CD8, TC)
• Destroy target cells with perforin
T Cells
• Delayed Hypersensitivity T Cells (TD)
• Associated with allergic reaction, transplant rejection, and tuberculin skin test
• Suppressor T cells (TS)
• Turn off immune response when Ag no longer present

Nonspecific Cells
• Activated macrophages: Macrophages stimulated by ingesting Ag or by cytokines
• Natural killer cells: Lymphocytes that destroy virus-infected cells, tumor
