What are the three signals for B cell Activation?
- Antibody Crosslinking -activates
- Co-receptor - survival and proliferation
- Signaling
Cytokines - Differation, SHM, switch class
(1 & 2 are requisite)
When an Antibody is bound to an antigen (AKA Antibody crosslinking) what occurs? (3)
- Clustering/aggregation
- IGa and IGB signaling
- ITAM phosphorylation for recruitment
What does B Cell Co-receptor signaling ensure?
That the Target is pathogenic
What are the four roles of Cytokine Signaling?
- Survival and proliferation
- Class switching
- Somatic Hyper-mutation
- Differentiation
