Key concepts about immune cells

1. The principle cells of the immune system: Antigen-presenting cells Lymphocytes => Effector

cells 2. All immune cells are derived from “Hematopoietic stem

cells” in Bone Marrow (BM) (& Fetal liver during fetus).

3. Immune cells are divided into two major lineages: => Lymphoid & Myeloid => Multiple cell types => express distinct “Surface

molecules (markers)” => Classification

4. Development and differentiation of different cell types depend on “Cell Interactions and Cytokines”.

Figure 1-3

Cells of the Immune System-I

1. Originated from Bone Marrow (BM)

2. Two major lineages: - Lymphoid - Myeloid

3. NK cells - Large Granular Lymphocytes (LGL)

NK => LGL

Cells of the Immune System-II

T lymphocytes are first derived from BM and furthereducated in Thymus for maturation.

Cells of innate immunity-I

1. Innate immune cells are derived from Bone Marrow.

2. Their primary function is to identify and kill microbes.

Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) additionally function

to present Ag to and activate lymphocytes.

3. Innate immune cells recognize the common microbial

structures PAMPs through Pattern-Recognition Receptors (PRRs) -limited diversity.

Innate immune cells are classified as following:

- Monocyte/Macrophage- Dendritic cell (DC)

- Polymorphonuclear granulocyte (PMN; Neutrophil, Eosinophil, Basophil) - Mast cell- NK cells (lymphocyte) => Killing virus-infected

cells & tumors

Classes of innate immune cells

Development of monocytes & granulocytes

1. Myelopoiesis – Development

of myeloid cells.

2. Cytokines from stromal cells, myeloid, &

lymphoid cells are involved in this process.

Bruce A. Beutler Jules A. Hoffmann Ralph M. Steinman

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2011

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2011 was divided, one half jointly to Bruce A. Beutler and Jules A. Hoffmann "for their discoveries concerning the activation of innate immunity" and the other half to Ralph M. Steinman "for his discovery of the dendritic cell and its role in adaptive immunity".

Identification of cell populations

1. Molecules on or in cells

=> Identification & Classification e.g. CD3, CD4,

CD8….

2. Methods: (1)

Immunofluorecence

(2) Flow Cytometry & Sorting (3) ELISPOT

Identification & isolation of cell populations

Maturation of Macrophages

Activated Macro

Key concepts of Monocytes/Macrophages

1. Relatively long-lived and distributed throughout the

whole body.

2. Engulf and kill pathogens by phagocytosis.

3. Express various receptors to recognize different pathogens, e.g. PRR, Scavenger receptor,….etc.

4. Trigger inflammation and Antigen presentation

Phagocytosis by innate immunity

Ag-presenting cells (APCs) link the innate & adaptive immune systems

Polymorphonuclear Granulocytes: Neutrophils

1. Comprise over 95% of granulocytes

2. Short-lived (2-3 days)

3. Multi-lobed nucleus

4. Kill pathogens by phagocytosis &

releasing cytotoxic substances.

Basophils & mast cells: critical for immunity

against parasites

Eosinophils

Dendritic cells (DCs) as Ag-presenting cells (APCs)

FDC:Follicular DC

Key concepts of Dendritic Cells (DCs)

1. Most effective Ag-presenting cells linking innate and

adaptive immunity

2. High MHC-II expression on DCs

3. Several types of DCs:(1) Myeloid DCs (also known as conventional DCs)(2) Lymphoid DCs => Plasmacytoid DCs(3) Lymphoid organ-specific DCs:

Follicular DCs in Lymph nodes (lacking MHC-II)

Interdigitating Dcs in Lymph nodes & Thymus

Cells of Adaptive immunity

1. Lymphocytes are the key players of the adaptive immunity.

2. Lymphocytes are able to specifically recognize and respond to diverse antigens. => Antigen (Ag) receptors on lymphocytes => Specificity (Clone), Diversity (Repertoire: total

number of Ag-specific lymphocytes in an individual; 107-9), & Memory

3. Lymphocytes are classified into three major groups: - B cells => Antibodies => Humoral immunity - T cells => Multiple subtypes => Cell-mediated

immunity & Regulate other immune cells - NK cells => Innate immunity

Classes of Lymphocytes1. B cells => Plasma

cells => Abs

2. T cells: - T helper cells - T cytotoxic cells - T regulatory cells => suppress

immune responses

3. NK cells

4. Subtypes in each class

T cells vs B cells

Lymphocytes

Small Lymphocytes Large Granular Lymphocytes

Plasma Cells-Ab Secretion

SUMMARY1. Immune cells are derived from “Bone Marrow (BM)”. T-lineage progenitor cells are first derived from BM and move

to “Thymus” for maturation.

2. Key cells in innate immune responses include - Macrophage & DCs => Ag presentation - Granulocytes (PMNs) - NK cells

3. Key cells in Adaptive immune responses include - B lymphocytes => Ab => Extracellular bacteria - Several T cell types => Fight intracellular microbes & Regulate the program of an immune response

have on the ability of host immunity

against infection?

Overview of Lymphocyte Generation & Activation-I

Overview of Lymphocyte Generation & Activation-II

Activation of Lymphocytes

In general, lymphocyte activation requires “Two Signals” (from Antigen presenting cells (APCs))

Signal 1: Ag Ag receptor on lymphocytes (T & B)

Signal 2: Molecules (innate response) Costimulatory

receptors on lymphocytes

Migration of Lymphocytes-I1. In LN, naïve

lymphocytes HEVs Rolling => Adhesion => Transmigration Adhesion molecules for cell-cell interactions

2. In peripheral infection sites, effector lymphocytes blood vessels

Migration of Lymphocytes-II
