What is biotechnology?
• Biotechnology = bios (life) + logos (study of or
essence)
– Literally ‘the study of tools from living things’
• Ancient Biotechnology
• early history as related to food and shelter,
including domestication
• Classical Biotechnology

Involves the physical binding of the enzyme on the surface of carrier matrix.
In entrapment, the enzymes or cells are not directly attached to the support
surface, but simply trapped inside the polymer matrix.

Splicing DNA:
DNA fragments can be joined together in vitro
by the action of specific DNA ligases.
The DNA ligase that is widely used was
encoded by phage T4.
The composite molecules in which DNA has
been inserted have also been termed ‘DNA
chimaeras’

Objective of Course
Understanding the importance of enzymes in Pharmaceutical
Industries.
Learning Outcomes
1) Students will learn about various types of immunity including
Immunoglobulins, MHC and hypersensitivity reactions.
2) They will also learn about hybridoma technology,
immunostimulation and immunosuppressions.
3) They will also able to know about stoarage and stability conditions
of official vaccines.
Cellular Immunity
It is an adapative immune response that is principally
delibrated by thymus- derived small lymphocytes,
which are recognized as T cells. They do not terminate
infected cells or pathogens, however they trigger and
direct further immune cells to do so. Cellular immunity
is a protective immune process that involves the
activation of phagocytes, antigen-sensitized cytotoxic
T cells and the release of cytokines and chemokines in
response to antigen. Cellular immunity is most
effective against cells infected with viruses,
intracellular bacteria, fungi and protozoans, and
cancerous cells. It also mediates transplant rejection.
Humoral Immunity
• Results in production of
proteins called
“immunoglobulin's” or
“antibodies”.
• Body exposed to
“foreign” material
termed “antigen” which
may be harmful to
body:
virus, bacteria, etc.
• Antigen has bypassed other
protective
mechanisms, ie, first and
second line of defense. 2

CLASSES (ISOTYPES) OF
IMMUNOGLOBULINS
• Additional classification
based on light chains
– Kappa
– Lambda
• Each IG has either kappa or
lambda, not both
– IgG kappa
– IgG lambda
• No functional differences
between light chains
11
IgE AND IgD ANTIBODIES OF THE
IMMUNE RESPONSE
• IgE
– Binds with high affinity to receptors on mast
cells, basophils and activated Eosinophi ls
– Longer half-life when cell bound
– Initiates a strong inflammatory reaction to parasites
– Involved in allergic reactions
• IgD
– Antigen receptor on mature B-cells
– No other known function
12
MHC (Major Histocompatibility
Complex)
It is defined as set of genes that code for cell surface proteins essential for the
acquired immune system to recognize foreign molecules in vertebrates, which
in turn determines histocompatiblity. It is of four types.
1) Class 1 molecules
2) Class 2 molecules
3) Class 3 molecules
FUNCTIONS OF MHC
1) It binds to endogenous antigen and present to T helper cells.
2) They are found on surface of all nucleated cells.
3) They are secreyed protein possesing immune funmctions.
4) They are also involved in complement activation.
5) They involved in inflammation caused by cytokines and tumor
necrosis factor.
Hypersensitivity
