Degranulation
Antibody Mediated Effector Functions
• Neutralization: Inactivate
• Opsonization: Enhanced phygocytosis
• Agglutination: Clumping
• Complement fixation: MAC & anaphylotoxins
• Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity
• Degranulation:
Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC)
• Antigen specific
• CD8+ and CD4+ T cells
• Nonspecific cells
• NK cells, non-lymphoid types such as macrophages, neutrophils, and eosinophils
Effector Responses
• Importance of these become evident when system is defective
• Di George Syndrome
• Born without thymus, lack T cell component
• Can fight extracellular pathogens but have issues with intracellular pathogens (viruses,
intracellular bacteria)
