Q

Exogenous Pathway

A

Internatlize antigen by phagocytosis to form phagosome. This fuses with lysosome to bread down antigen. At the same time the RER begins making Class II MHC. Passes throught the SER, Golgi, then heads to Lysosome, to degrade invariant chain. HLA-DM removed clip and peptide from antigen to be presented on the outside of the cell.

Q

Endogenous Pathway

A

Internal peptide has a tag added to it from the Ubiquitin Protein. Tis tells the protein to be degraded by the proteosome. TAP puts these fragments into the endoplasmic reticulum and is loaded into MHC Class I

Q

Cross Presentation pathway

A

APC ingest and processes virally infected cell. Viral Proteins enter the cytosol and is processes via endogenous pathway(protesome) to activate a CD8 cell via MHC I

A

Uses internal stuff and degrades it with lysosome and presented in MHC II

33

Receptor responsible for antigen recognition on t Cells

A

T cell Receptor

34

A

Processed/unprocessed ligands (innate immune cells)

37
Q

Where gamma delta T cells are found

A

Intraepithelial Tissues

38
Q

A

1 variable region on each chain(2 total)

1 constant region on each chain (two total)

39
Q

The T Cell receptors need to recognize

A

Peptide + MHC

40
Q

What helps to start an intracellular chain of events in a T cell Receptor

A

43
Q

What are CD4 T cells

And CD8

A

Helper T cells

44
Q

How TCR Complex is activated

A

MHC interacts with T cell receptor. CD4 or CD8 recognizes when this becomes activated and this activates Lck which phosphorylates tyrosines in ITAMs

A

Yes

46
Q

V(D) J recombination occures where

A

In the Variable region

47
Q

HOw T cell and B cell development is similar

A

Begin in bone marrow
V(D)J recombination of variable region of TCR leads to antigenic diversity
At one point cells express both CD4 and CD8
Undergo positive and negative selection

B7 is related to

A

Found on the antigen presenting cells to adhere to CD28 for signal transduction via costimulation

67
Q

IL-2 is needed for

A
