Antigen presentation and processing Flashcards
Dendritic cell antigen uptake mechanism
- Endocytosis
2. Phagocytosis
Dendritic cell activation
Mediated by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)
Dendritic cell MHC class II expression
Increases with activation (may express low levels constiuitively)
Dendritic cell costimulatory activity
Up-regualtion of CD80/86 w/activation
Dendritic cell T-cell activation
Naive, effector, memory T cells
Dendritic cell location
Resting: circulation and peripheral tissues.
Active: T-cell zones, tertiary tissues
Macrophage antigen uptake mechanism
Phagocytosis
Macrophage activation
Mediated by PRRs and enhanced by T cell help
Macrophage MHC class II expression
Increases w/activation
Macrophage costimulatory activity
Up-regulation of CD80/86 with activation
Macrophage T cell activation
Effector and memory T cells
Macrophage location
Resting: circulation, peripheral tissues.
Activated: lymph node, marginal zone of spleen, peripheral tissues
B cell antigen uptake mechanism
Receptor-medated endocytosis
B cell activation
Mediated by antigen recognition
B cell MHC class II expression
Increases with activation (expresses low levels of constitutively
