Antigen Processing Flashcards
Initially immature cells that migrate to T-cell zone of the lymph node once they come into contact with antigens
Dermal dendritic cells
Displayed by APCs for T-cell recognition
Peptide-MHC complexes
Modes by which professional APCs internalize antigens
Phagocytosis
Receptor-mediated endocytosis
Phenomenon wherein the epitope that is processed and presented is one that causes the best immune response
Immunodominance
T/F: B cells recognize amino acid sequences whereas B-cells recognize conformational determinants
False
T cells - amino acids
B-cells - conformational determinants
Property of T-cells that restricts them to recognizing antigens bound to self-APC
Self-MHC restriction
MHC molecules bind ______
Peptides
Site where MHC II is synthesized
ER
Cause enzymatic breakdown of internalized proteins
Cathepsins
_____ controls the dissociation of CLIP and facilitates the binding of Antigenic peptides
HLA-DM
Enzymes associated with the MHC I pathway
Transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) - facilitates entry
ER resident aminopeptidase - trims peptides
