Effector Cell Responses

Antibody and Cell


Mediated
Introduction to Effector Cell Responses
• HI Effector
• Ab Class dependent: IgG vs IgM
• FcR of Ab determines Cell Type activated
• Intracellular pathogens: No access to Ab
• Tumors: Escape Ab Response
• Cell Mediated Response: Th & Tc
• Ag specific & Ag Non specific
• Ag Specific: Lymphocytes
• Ag Non specific: NK cells & Myeloid lineage cells
• Cooperation of HI & CMI: ADCC
Antibody Mediated Effector Functions

• Neutralization: Inactivate
• Opsonization: Enhanced phygocytosis
• Agglutination: Clumping
• Complement fixation: MAC & anaphylotoxins
• Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity
• Degranulation:
Neutralization
• Block entry
• Gp120 of HIV binds CD4
• Influenza expresses
Hemagglutinin that binds
Glycoprotein on epi. cells
• Neutralizing Ab
• Tetanus toxoid
• Snake bite
• Genetic variants
Agglutination of Streptococcus pneumonia by
antibodies in nasal secretions
• Multiple ag binding site/ab: IgA vs IgM
• Diff. Infection
• Clearance
• cillia
• Peristalysis: mucus)
• Prevents colonization
• Bacteria: Red
• Nasal cells: blue
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)

• Cells that have


cytotoxic potential
(NK cells,
macrophages, etc)
express receptors for
Fc portion of antibody

Revision of Final Effector Cells
IgM
• Primary Immune Response
• Low affinity: No affinity
maturation
• Circulating are Decavalent but
surface bound divalent
• Complement fixation
• Agglutination
IgG
• Most common in serum
• Most Diverse:IgG1, , IgG2, IgG3,
and IgG4
• Opsonization
• Complement activation
• Monomeric
IgA
IgA
• Present in secretions
• IgA1 and IgA2
• No complement fixation
• Highly glycosylated Binds to bacterial polysach.
• Agglutination
• Ag clearance
• Special feature: Secretory chain
• Binds Poly Ig Receptor
• Long Half life: Fc region is resistant to many of the proteases
• Fc region is resistant to many of the microbial proteases (evasion
mechanisms)
IgE

• Role in allergy and asthma


• protection against parasitic worms
• Protozoa
• Venoms
• degranulation of eosinophils and
basophils
• histamine and proteases that
damage pathogens
• Inflammation
IgD
• Extremely low level
• higher levels: respiratory tract
• Binds: Respiratory bacterial and
viral pathogens
• bind to basophils and mast
cells→ Antimicrobial peptide &
cytokines

Cell Mediated Immunity

• Important in detecting and eliminating cells that harbor intracellular pathogens

• 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)

• Effector T cells express variety of effector molecules


• CTLs or Tc cells, CD8+
• Class I MHC restricted
Effector phase of CTLs
• CTL-Mediated Death
• Conjugate formation of CTL with infected cell
• Membrane attack
• CTL dissociation
• Target cell destruction

Granules contain perforin


Stages in CTL-mediated killing of target cells
mechanisms: Granules

• lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck)


Conjugate formation between CTL and target
cell & reorientation of CTL cytoplasmic
CTL-mediated pore
Fas/FasL-mediated cytolysis
(even in lacking granzymes & perforins)
Fas Ligand Fas (CD95)
• Transmembrane protein on • Present on target cells
CTLs • Its cross linking induces
• In cells lacking death
granzyme/perforins mediate • Apoptosis induced in Target
death
• localizes in the granule
membrane
• Cross links Fas on target
• TNF family molecule
Induction of Apoptosis
• Mediated by Caspase group of enzymes
• cysteine proteases
• cleave after an aspartic acid residue
• Caspase: Cysteine, aspartate, protease
• Present in inactive form → Proteolytic cleavage →
Activation
• Sequential cascade of events → systematically
disassemble the target cell
• Two types
• Initiator caspases
Fas/FasL-mediated cytolysis
Time course of responses to viral infection
Natural Killer Cells (NK)
• Defend against viruses, other intracellular pathogens, and
tumors
• Produce important cytokines:
• IFN-γ:Enhances the phagocytic, microbicidal, and antigen
presentation
• TNF-α, GMCSF and chemokines
• Lymphoid cells
• Share early lineage to T cells
• NK cells don’t develop exclusively in thymus
• Killing of target cell is similar to that of CTL
Natural Killer Cell Activity
Balance of Activating and Inhibitory Signals
Missing Self Hypothesis
NK cells kill targets by processes similar to CTLs

Experimental Assessment of CML
• Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction (MLR)
• T lymphocytes from 2 donors undergo extensive
proliferation when mixed
• Each donors’ MHC is the antigen
• If MHC is same on both donors’ cells then there is
no reaction
• If MHC is different, each donors’ T cells will react
to each other and will proliferate
• Degree can be measured by adding [3H]-Thymidine to
culture and monitoring uptake into DNA
Experimental Assessment of CML
• Cell-mediated
lympholysis
• Target cells are labeled
intracellularly with 51Cr
(will not pass out of
the cell unless cell is
lysed)
• If there is cell-
mediated cytotoxicity,
then 51Cr will be
detected
