9: Immune receptors and Signal Transduction 2 Flashcards
(154 cards)
what are BCRs
transmembrane form of an antibody
what antibodies are expressed by naive mature B cells
IgM and igD
how are antibodies other than IgM and IgD expressed on B cells
class switching or with memory cells
what are the signaling molecules for BCR
Iga and IgBeta
how are Ig a and IgB linked
disulfide bonds to each other and noncovalent with BCR
what makes Iga and IgB signaling molecules
have ITAMS in cytoplasmic tails
what is better about BCR compared to TCR
has two binding sites
co- receptors for B cells that associate with BCR complex
CD21, CD32, CD 19
which co receptors positively regulate B cell activation
CD21 and 19
What does CD 32 do for B cell activation
has an ITIM for negative regulation of BCR
how do the coreceptors link for BCR
to antibody Fc portion or through complement
Another name for CD 32
FcyRII
signal one for BCR complex
Ag to Ig receptor
signal 2 for BCR
CD 19, 21, 32 for signal 2 and signal transduction
what initiates B cell signaling and what does it cause
BCR- Iga/B complex with phosphorylation of ITAMS
what happens after ITAM phosphorylation in BCR
activation kinases and phosphatases
what controls the cascade of signals from B cell activation
co-receptors
what is the role of second messengers in BCR
activate TFs for effector function
what is effector function of BCR
Ab production
TcFs change B cells from
naive to mature/ active cells
what is activated by Ag binding to a BCR complex
Src-Syk activation
how must ag bind to BCR complex
As cross linked dimers
what is activated by 2 Src- 1 syk activation
PLCy and RAS/ RAC GTP
what transcription factors are activated as a result of BCR activation
NFAT, NF-kB and AP1
