According the particular structure of bacterial cellthat AG are associated with:
H-AGflagellar, heat-labile, remain immunogenic after treatmentwith phenolO-AGsomatic(associated with LPSof cell wall), heat-stableK-AGcapsule(surface layer PS or protein)Vi-AG also capsuleAG, found in some enteropathogenic(high-virulent) bacteria
every microorganism contains many different AGs, that reflects
by it antigenic formula (e. g. Salmonella typhi- group D 9, 12, Vi.E. coli- O153:H1:K7 etc.)

Definitions of antigenes
protectiveAG high-antigenic and low-toxic, cause theproduction of blocking AB
cross-reacting AGare common for human andmicroorganism (phenomenon of microbial mimicry)
isoantigenes substances which have antigenic
properties and are contained in some individuals of agiven species (blood groups serum antibodies)autoantigenes substances capable of immunizing the
body from which they are obtained (eye lens,spermatozoids, emulsions of kidney, liver, lungs and
other)
According to the specificity AG could be:
Group-specificAG AG common for different microbial species

T- independet T-dependentIs realised by B- cells which are
constantly carrying surface
receptors Ig M Ig D that
recognize epitopes of bacteria.
After binding with correspondent
AG
(Signal with IL-7 and tyrosine-
kynase) the polyclonal activation
is started and plasmatic cells
begins to produce Ig with low
affinity - Ig M Ig D.
Is realised by B- cells only if they
have the assistance of antigen
presenting cells and Th.

COOPERATIVE INTERACTION OF IMMUNOCOMPETENT CELLSMain features:Cell interaction only when they are genetically identical (MHC II class)Double recognition presented AG is recognized by immunocompetent cell
only in complex with I class (target cells) or II class (APCs) MHC

DYNAMIC of AB PRODUCTION
depends from:
power of AG affection (AG dose),
frequency of exposure to AG,
general health of the host organism,particularly its immune system
dynamics differ in primary (I) andsecondary (II) response at all stages:
I II
8/2/2019 Lect 08 Serology
23/32
I II
1. Latent (lag) stage 35 days 12 days
2. Logariphmic 715 days differs, but generally has rapid rise in ABtiters, high AB titers, long stationary
period and slow decrease
3. Stationary 1530 days
4. Decrease 16 months
Ig isotype IgM, than later
IgGOnly IgG
secondary response goes due topreexistence of memory cells

CHARACTERISTICS of SEROLOGICAL REACTION
specificity reaction of antigen with homologous antibodysensitivity minimum quantity of AG or AB detected byparticular serological reaction
STAGES of SEROLOGICAL REACTIONSpecific interaction of AG with ABNon-specific formation of visible result (usually in the presenceof electrolyte), depends from the characteristics of AG and couldbe developed in different forms (agglutinates, precipitates etc.)

COMPONENTS of SEROLOGICAL REACTIONS
AG in form of corpuscular diagnosticums (suspension of live orfixated bacteria, biochemicals adsorbed on different particles
etc.) or solutions (extractions, isolated chemical fractions frombacteria, viruses, toxins etc.)
AB in form of immune serum (obtained by immunization ofexperimental animals) or AB-diagnosticums (AB adsorbed on
different particles)
ElectrolyteAdditional developing system (hemolytic system, complement,
markers etc.) if necessary

SEROLOGICAL REACTIONSIMMUNE SERUM must have following determined characteristics:Serum titer(AB level) maximum serum dilution that gives positive
reactionSerum specificity reaction only with homologous bacterial cultures;
could be restricted to a genus specificity, species, variant etc.
DIAGNOSTIC IMMUNE SERA:
agglutinating sera(identification of bacterial genus, species, serovar),precipitating sera(AG detection in examines sample),hemolytic sera(are used in additional developing system, e. g. in RCB),
antitoxic sera(are used for toxin neutralization)
TYPES of IMMUNE SERUM
polyvalent(non-adsorbed) low specific; high AB titers; contain AB tomicrobes, that have common group, genus, family AG, i. e. can elicit
group cross-reactionsmono-receptor(adsorbed) high specific; low AB titers (1:40, 1:300);are generally used for agglutination on slide,for determination of serovar
8/2/2019 Lect 08 Serology
28/32
AGGLUTINATION REACTIONS
are used both for identification and examination of infectious agent(e. g.agglutination on slide, Gruber method etc.) and detection of specific ABin
patients serum (Vidal method for typhoid, Right, Heddlson method forbrucellosis etc.)
are based on the formation of AG-AB aggregates or latticeat optimal
concentrations of both componentsdirectand indirect(AG or AB are adsorbed on the cell or particle surface)hemagglutination AG are located on the surface of red blood cells, andthe addition of AB leads to their clumping (e.g. is basis for blood typing
etc.)DIAGNOSTIC TITER maximum immune serum dilution that elicit positive
resultto get reliable diagnose pair seraare taken (to follow the dynamic of AB
titers rise)
8/2/2019 Lect 08 Serology
29/32
KASTELLANI METHOD of IMMUNE SERUM ADSORBTION
relative groups of microorganism are used to bind and
exclude group-specific and species-specific AB out ofpolyvalent serum to get finally mono-receptor immuneserum (only type-specific AB left examination ofbacterial antigenic structure)
8/2/2019 Lect 08 Serology
30/32
PRECIPITATION REACTIONS
are generally used for detection and examination of AG using diagnosticserum
are also based on lattice formation and strongly require optimal AG and
AB proportions (zone of equivalence) and have very high sensitivity;are performed in solutions (ring-test) or in gels (Ouchterlony method,
Manchini, immunoelectrophoresis etc.)
NEUTRALIZATION REACTIONS
are based on the ability of antitoxic serum to bind and inactivate toxinsare used for detection of toxin production by microbial cells and detection ofpresence of antitoxin AB in patients blood (diagnostic of infectious disease)
8/2/2019 Lect 08 Serology
31/32
REACTION of COMPLEMENT BINDINGis based on the ability of AB to bind complement thus excluding it out of
solution
LYSIS REACTIONS
are based on the ability of opsonins to activate complement system
