Structure of Lymphoid System Components FUNCTIONS OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM • PROTECTION AGAINST FOREIGN INVADERS INTO BODY • PRODUCE / PROTECT GERM FREE ENVIRONMENT OF THE BODY EXAMPLES OF IMMUNE RESPONSE • REACTION AGAINST MICROORGANISMS: BACTERIA, VIRUSES, PARASITES Appendix • REACTION AGAINST TUMOR CELLS • ALLERGIC REACTIONS: HAY FEVER, POISON IVY • AUTOIMMUNE REACTION: ARTHRITIS, TYPE I DIABETES • GRAFT REJECTION Objective Learn the role in immunity of Primary organs Secondary organs Main Player, The Lymphocyte In different settings Bone marrow smear Life Cycle of Lymphocytes Fetal organs Bone marrow Primary lymphoid organs (Antigen independent development) - Thymus – T lymphocytes - Bone marrow - B lymphocytes Secondary lymphoid organs (Antigen dependent development) – Lymph nodes – Lymphoid nodules – Spleen thymus Bone marrow Life Cycle of Lymphocytes Bone marrow Seeding primary organs Thymus Growth pattern – regress after childhood Reticulum framework – epithelium (from endoderm) Cortex - absence of exogenous antigens • Epithelial microenvironment • Lymphopoiesis • Blood-thymus barrier Medulla Thymus Growth pattern - regress after childhood Thymus Blood-thymus barrier (cortical barrier only) Reticulum framework - epithelium Cortex Epithelium Medula Continuous capillaries, sheathed by epithelial reticular cells 123 Thymus, newborn Outer darkly staining areas (cortex) and lighter central areas (medulla). Medulla Thymocytes Cortex Medulla Continuous capillaries, sheathed by epithelial reticular cells around each, characterizes blood vessels in the thymus cortex and are responsible for the blood thymus barrier. Also there are no afferent lymphatics in the thymus. 123 Thymus, newborn Epithelial reticulum cells Cortex Mitotic figures frequently, which reflect the high proliferative rate of these cells. THYMUS Blood-thymus barrier in cortex RETICULUM FRAMEWORK - EPITHELIUM Epithelial reticulum cells Hassall's corpuscles Mesothelium 118 Splenic capsule = Dense irregular connective tissue covered with mesothelium Lymph Nodes – Filtration of Lymph Basic structure • Lymphatic vessels • Vasculature • Reticular framework (mesoderm) Cortex o Follicles - B lymphocytes o Perifollicular - T lymphocytes Medulla o Cords o Sinuses Lymph Node 116 Cortex Hilum = single site for blood entry and exit Medulla Lymph Nodes Filtration of Lymph Basic structure • Lymphatic vessels • Vasculature Lymph node Capsule Afferent lymphatic duct 116 Subscapular space Lymph Nodes - Filtration of Lymph Basic structure - reticular framework Reticular fibers Capsule Spleen Lymph Nodes - Filtration of Lymph Basic structure - reticular framework Lymph Nodes - Filtration of Lymph Cortex o Follicles - B lymphocytes (in lymph nodule) o Perifollicular - T lymphocytes (in paracortex) T lymphocytes B lymphocytes Medulla Cortex Medulla Medulla Lymph Nodes and Lymphoid Tissue Lymph flow Lymphopoiesis Lymphocyte circulation – High endothelial venules • Receptors for T&B cells only – One-way traffic Gut-associated lymphoid tissue – Tonsils – Peyer’s patches Lymph Nodes and Lymphoid Tissue Lymph flow Predominantly T lymphocytes Perifollicular area Predominantly B lymphocytes, around germinal center Germinal center High endothelial venules = sites where blood-borne lymphocytes enter the node.

Peyer’s Patches Activated Lymphocyte that has seen its antigen Plasma cells Roles and Specific Actions of Antibodies in Immunity • • • • Complement - mediated lysis Opsonization - promote phagocytosis Toxin neutralization Prevention of microbial binding to mucosal surface • Virus neutralization - interferes with cell penetration • Degranulation of mast cells Spleen Overall structure Vascular arrangement White pulp • Central artery • Periarteriolar lymphatic sheath • Follicles - B lymphocytes Red pulp • Venous sinuses • Pulp cords (Billroth’s strands/Cords of Billroth) • Marginal zone Spleen Venous sinuses and Billroth's strands Capsule red pulp. white pulp 122 Primary function of the spleen is filtration of blood. Spleen has no afferent lymphatics so it can not filter the lymph Central artery Spleen Blood flow • Filtration • Removal of old red blood cells Two circulation options in spleen Closed circulation is typical of that in other organs Open circulation that is unique to the spleen 218 Spleen (reticulum stain)capsule and reticulum fibers 218 Spleen (reticulum stain)- reticulum fibers in strands between venous (blood) sinus Spleen Red Pulp White Pulp 117 Spleen Penicillar arteries in marginal zone Marginal zone Follicles White pulp Central artery Red pulp Venous sinuses Billroth's strands Spleen Blood flow • Filtration • Removal of old red blood cells Littoral cells: picketfence type endothelial cells of vascular sinus Spleen Blood flow • Filtration • Removal of old red blood cells Macrophages in the splenic cords 118 Litteral cells of spleenic venule Spleen 117 Spleen White pulp Spleen Penicillar arteries Billroth’s strand or spleenic strand Littoral cells: picketfence type endothelial cells of vascular sinus Spleen Reticular fiber framework • Reticulum cell - mesoderm Blood flow • Penicillar arteries • Extravascular sojourn of blood cells • Filtration • Removal of old red blood cells • Pitting of reticulocytes Spleen Blood flow – Penicillar arteries Macrophages Penicillar arteries Splenic Cord Sinisoid Extravascular sojourn of blood cells in splenic cords Blood flow Spleen Activated! Summary Three Key Steps of Combating Infections reak the cycle of transmission ill the infectious agent ncrease host resistance e.g., increase immunity of host Lines of Defense •Second line: Phagocytes at work • Neutrophils to ill the infectious agent Monocytes - macrophage ncrease host resistance through Immunity Characteristics of Immunity •Acquired - requires exposure to antigens •Specificity - response is unique to exposure •Memory - remembers previous exposure Characteristics of Immunity •Acquired • Must be developed •Specificity Antibodies made are specific to specific molecules on the antigen of exposure Characteristics of Immunity •Memory: quick second response – Long lived cells Types of Immune Response •Antibody: mediated – Glycoproteins recognize and bind to antigens •Cell: mediated – Specifically active cells recognize cell - bind antigens 19761 Bone marrow Lymphocyte is a main player of immune response Blood in vessel Summary: Life Cycle of Lymphocytes Fetal organs Bone marrow Primary lymphoid organs (Antigen independent development) - Thymus – T lymphocytes - Bone marrow - B lymphocytes Secondary lymphoid organs (Antigen dependent development) – Lymph nodes – Lymphoid nodules – Spleen
