Questions About Cellular Components
of the Immune Response
How many different cell types are there?
What are the numbers of the various cell types?
What do these different cell lineages do?
Where do they come from?
How Long do they last?
What becomes of them at the end of their functional life span?
What controls their replacement? (How does the hematopoietic
system know what needs to be replaced?)
What happens if they aren’t replaced correctly?
If they are deficient in number?
If they are produced in excess to what is needed?
If they are not structurally or functionally normal?

Blood Cell Replacement Problems
At the correct time:
When cells are damaged, aged, or no longer functional or
necessary.
Replace with the correct cell type.
In the correct number.
Do not propagate errors arising during cell division.
Replacing Cells at the Correct time
Getting Rid of Aged or Damaged Cells
Without generating inflammation:
Genetically Programmed Cells Death (Apoptosis)
vs Inflammatory Lysis and Necrosis
Genetically Programmed
Cell Death: Apoptosis
Cysteine – aspartate protease
Bcl-2 gene: B-cell Leukemia associated gene
Hematopoeisis and Leukemogenesis (Leukemia)
What happens if damaged cells are not destroyed?
What happens if Apoptosis is not invoked?
Bcl-2 gene up-regulation in leucocytes leads to leukemia.
(Strong inhibition of Apoptosis)
FAS Gene or Caspase Genes down-regulated or lost in
cells leads to leukemia and other cancer.
(Failure to initiate or promote Apoptosis)
“Caspase” = cysteine-aspartate proteaase
Replacing Cells at the Correct Time
with the Correct Cell Type
Where Do the Blood Cells Come From?
Stem Cells and Partially Differentiated Progenitor Cells
How Can We get Our Hands on Stem Cells for
Treatments?
Stem Cell Therapy in Medicine
200,000 peripheral blood cells restore
viability
1,000 mixed stem cells and
progenitor cells restore viability
Pure Stem Cells
30 to 100 Stem cells restore viability

e.g. CD4 is a co-receptor on helper T-cells.
Confirms binding of T-Cell with its T-Cell Receptor to
an antigen-presenting cell.
Natural Killer Cells
•
•
•
•
Large Granular Lymphoctyes
Part of innate natural immune response
Usually without T-Cell Receptor or Membrane Antibody
Recognize patterns of surface molecules or unusual
expression of self-molecules (Class I MHC)
• Have anti-tumor and anti-viral activity
• CD16 Membrane Receptor for specific antibody regions
gives Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxic activity
• NKT Cells have TCR,
– Bind to MHC-like molecules CD1
– Secrete cytokines

I’m totally lost.
I’m having hard time, but I follow some of it.
I’m OK. I can figure most of it out later.
I’m following very well. There is no problem with the
level of the course.
This isn’t pitched at a level appropriate for an upper
division undergraduate course. Please move to a
higher level of challenge.
