Слайд 1Immunity
Immunity is the recognition and removal of molecules foreign
(pathogen) to the body
Слайд 2Antigen – foreign substance
Antibody is produced against antigen, and helps
to destroy antigen
Слайд 3Acquisition (приобретение) of Immunity
Active immunity: the individual alone (itself) produces
antibodies against an antigen, or it is activated by vaccines
Passive
immunity: the individual is given prepared antibodies (plasma of other people or from milk of mother)
Слайд 6Vaccines
Vaccines function as a precaution (предосторожность) before exposure (воздействие) to
the illness
They are composed of a physiological fluid and a
weakened or dead microbe
Properties:
- they should have little or no side effects
- any vaccination should not be given during illness or after surgery
- they have allergic functions
Слайд 7Types of Immunity
Immunity is maintained by two pathways:
non-specific immunity (1st
and 2nd lines of defence)
specific immunity (3rd line of defence)
Слайд 8Non-specific Immunity (1st line of defence)
Barriers nonspecifically prevent microbes from
entering the body (without recognizing pathogen)
- It is maintained by
Skin
Tears and sweat
Gastric juices
Hair and mucus in the respiratory tract
Слайд 9Non-specific Immunity (2nd line of defence)
Leucocytes (white blood cells) are found
circulating throughout the body
If a pathogen penetrates the first line
of defence, they inhibit or destroy the pathogen before it harms the body
Phagocytes are type of leucocytes which makes phagocytosis
Слайд 11Non-specific Immunity (2nd line of defence)
Interferon (inactivates viruses and degrades
cancer cells)
Слайд 12Specific immunity
(3rd line of defence)
It is based on production of
a different type of antibody against each different type of
microorganism antigen (or disease)
Слайд 14Allergy
All allergies can be described as a type of response
by the immune system to infection from disease
A few bacteria,
such as tuberculosis bacillus, produce an allergic response
All factors causing allergy are called allergens
Слайд 15Allergy
1) Antigens (allergen) react with antibodies
2) Production of histamine and
histamine-like substances
3) Enlargement of capillaries
4) Blood plasma flows from
blood to interstitial fluid
5) Allergic symptoms (edema (отек) and high fever (лихорадка) appear)
Слайд 16AIDS
AIDS is caused by a virus called HIV (Human Immunodeficiency
Virus)
This can damage the body's immune system so that it
cannot fight certain infections
