B and T cells Flashcards
expressed on all nucleated cells
MHC I
presents endogenous/intracellular antigens
MHC I
presents viral or cytosolic proteins from within the cells
MHC I
antigen loaded in RER via TAP
MHC I
recognized by CD8 cells via TCRs
MHC I
Encoded by HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C
MHC I
composed of 1 heavy chain and 1 short chain
MHC I
beta-2 microglobulin
MHC I
expressed by all APCs
MHC II
present exogenous/externally-derived antigens
MHC II
presents bacterial toxins/proteins ingested by phagocytes
MHC II
antigen loaded in acidic-phagoendosome
MHC II
recognized by CD4 T cells via TCRs
MHC II
composed of 2 chains of similar lengths
MHC II (alpha and beta)
encoded by HLA-DP, HLA-DQ, HLA-DR
MHC II
associated with invariant chain
MHC II
invariant chain
placeholder occupies antigen-binding site, preventing binding by internal antigens until arrival at endosomes
invariant chain degraded in acidified endosome
MHC II
B cells mediate _____ immunity
humoral
B cells express
CD19, CD20, CD21
B cells originate from
bone marrow
B cells migrate to and reside in
lymphoid tissue
follicles of lymph node, white pulp of spleen
after B cell activation, they differentiate into
plasma B cells, memory B cells
B cell activation begins with
antigen presentation on MHC II
Signal 1: B cell activation
the foreign antigen presented by the B cell on MHC II is recognized by TCR on CD4 T cell
Signal 2: B cell activation
CD40 receptor on B cell binds to CD40L on T cell
the activated B cell undergoes ______ and _______
class switching; affinity maturation
antibody isotype depends on
cytokines secreted by T cell
the activated B cell proliferates in the
lymph node
effector B cells produced after activation
plamsa cells; memory B cells
provide humoral immunity by producing antibodies against antigen
plasma cells
found in bone marrow after B cell activation
plasma cells
normally do not circulate peripheral blood
plasma cells
develops antigen memory
Memory B cells
long lifespan (decades)
memory B cells
lifespan of plasma B cells
only survive months
