autoimmune disorders Flashcards

1
Q

proteins has ability to bind to both mhc class II molecules and TCRs

a. estrogens
b, androgens
c. prolactin
d. superantigens

A
superantigens
  -  protein produced by various microbes that have the ability to bind class II mhc molecules and TCRs,  regaardless of their antigen specificity

Estrogen
- tend to direct immune system in favor to T ype 2 helper cells (Th2) response, resulting in more B cell activation and antibody production

androgens
- favor to Th1 response to activtaion of CD8+ T cells

prolactin
- stimulates production of milk
