THE ADAPTIVE (ACQUIRED) IMMUNE RESPONSE humoral response: actions of serum and lymph proteins cellular response: actions of specific helper and effector cells

WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN TO CLEAR A VIRAL INFECTION?? 1. Recognize infection 2. Activate adaptive immune response
a) T cells (Cellular)
REQUIREMENTS TO INITIATE A T CELL RESPONSE Activation of T cells is a 3-step process 1. TCR/MHC/peptide recognition
2. Co-stimulatory signals
T cell: CD28 APC: B7 (CD80/86
ANTIGEN PRESENTATION MHC I presents endogenous antigen proteins synthesized in an infected cell - CD8 T cell restricted
MHC II presents exogenous antigens proteins or antigens endocytosed from outside the cell - CD4 T cell restricted

Efficient response to an acute infection involves innate, cellular and humoral responses
Memory is specific and results in more robust response with subsequent exposure
Goldsby, Immunology, 5th ed.
WHY IS MEMORY BETTER? Higher frequency of Ag specific T and B cells Primed for quick response Memory T cells do not require co-stimulation for activation Tissue localization
Adaptive response: pliable, flexible Multiple antigens presented on a single APC Single lymphocyte = monospecific response
Clonal selection and expansion of virus-specific B and T cells The host repertoire: genetic differences Recognition of antigen: specific, pluripotent Amplification of virus specific cells Somatic mutation in B cells: refinement Immune memory

PERSISTENT INFECTION
virus Ab CTLs weeks No clearance of virus, lack of immune response Ex: measles/SSPE, arenaviruses
LATENT INFECTION
1) Acute infection 2) Immune reactivation and apparent clearance 3) Virus goes into hiding herpesvirus: latency in neurons 4) Virus is reactivated at later time.
SLOW INFECTION
Hallmarks: very slow replication Low/no immune response Ex: Scrapie, Kuru, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
