Q

IRF4 and IRF8

A

terminate pre-BCR signaling by IRF4 and promote differentiation to small pre-B cells

25
Bcl-6
required for germinal B-cell differentiation and generation of memory B-cells
26
Blimp-1
suppresses Bcl-6 expression and is required for development of Ig secreting cells and maintenance of long lived plasma cells.
27
XLA
a block at the pro-B cell to large pre-B cell transition in the bone marrow. This defect is mostly caused by a mutation in the gene encoding the enzyme Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (Btk). Btk is a key enzyme involved in signal transduction downstream of the pre-BCR and BCR. XLA patients have very few circulating B-cells and negligible serum immunoglobulin (Ig).
28
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID)
``` CVID manifests in reduced serum Ig, memory B-cells, class switch recombination and B-cell activation. Mutations in CD40 ligand on T-cells, B-cell surface receptor CD19, activated T-cell costimulatory molecule ICOS, and TACI (another receptor for Blys) have all been identified in CVID patients. ```
29
Negative selection of Self-reactive B cells
occurs in bone marrow (clonal deletion) limits ab-mediated autoimmunity also some occurs in periphery because not all self-antigen is expressed in bone marrow
30
If immature b cells express mIgM recognizing self-antigen
Some of the immature B cells undergo apoptosis Some of the immature B cells undergo editing of light chain genes to produce a different light chain that (when combined with the heavy chain) does not recognize self-antigen.
31
3 major populations of B cell in periphery
Follicular (B2) B cells B-1 Marginal zone
32
which B cells require T cell help
B-2, sometime marginal zone
33
which B cells do not require T cell help
B-1
34
B-1 release what isotypes
IgM
35
B-2 release what isotypes
IgG
36
What kind of antigens do B-1 respond to
carbohydrates (some protein)
37
What kind of antigens do B-2 respond to
proteins (some carbs)
38
Which kinds of B cells have memory
Mostly B-2 (TD), B-1 (T-I) has very little
39
B-1 found mainly where
peritoneum and pleural cavitites
40
B-2 found mainly where
secondary lymphoid organs
41
marginal zone B cells found where
marginal zones of the spleen
42
B-1 cells ID by expression of
CD5 - induced upon binding of TI antigens
43
which b cells can self renew
B-1 not B-2 *from precursons in bone marrow marginal maybe
44
Intracellular signaling in B cell activation
BCR receptor plus something required. (2BCRs, BCR + coreceptor). IgM or IgD bind. If cross-linked, then CD79a/b activate signaling through their ITAM repeats (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif). Cascade of signaling leads to the eventual activation of the transcription factor NF-kB and G proteins that activate the transcription factors Rho, Rac, and Ras.
45
two groups of TI-antigens
TI-1 antigens are predominantly bacterial cell wall components – the prototypical TI-1 antigen is lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria TI-2 antigens are predominantly large polysaccharide molecules with repeating antigenic determinants (e.g. Ficoll, dextran, polymeric bacterial flagellin, and poliomyelitis virus)
46
TI-antigens activate
B-1 cells
47
Many TI-antigens are
PAMPs that can be recognized by TLRs
48
B cell response to TI-1 antigen
B1 B cells bind to LPS either through TLR4 or the BCR. ``` TLR4 = nonspecific (polyclonal activation). BCR = specific (clonal activation). ``` Type 1 TI antigens can stimulate both immature and mature B cells through the use of TLR4. Only IgM is produced in response to this stimulation.
49
B cell response to TI-2 antigen
B1 B cells bind to Type 2 TI antigens through the cross-linking of the BCR. BCR = specific (clonal activation). Type 2 TI antigens can only stimulate mature B cells through the use of the BCR. Mostly IgM is produced in response to this stimulation. CD4+ Th2 T cells can be involved to produce cytokine for a full B cell response that can include class-switching.
50
IL-4 induces what CSR
IgG, IgE IgG1
51
TGF-b induces what CSR
IgA, IgG IgG2b
52
IL-5 induces what CSR
IgA
53
IFNg induces what CSR
IgG3, IgG2a
54
At what stage of T cell development is TCR undergoing somatic mutation/recombination?
Double negative (DN 1-4)
55
Changes in TCR during development
pre-TCR = TCRb, working on TCRa Mature-TCR but not signaling = +/- selection Mature abTCR and signaling = proliferation, differentiation, survival
56
Stages of B cell maturation
``` Stem cell Pre-pro Pro B cell (early and late) Pre B cell (large --> small) Immature B cell Mature B cell Activated B cell --> memory, plasma ```
57
XLA usually what defect
Btk - transduction downstream of pre-BCR and BCR (cannot receive stimulation to grow)
58
What transcription factors in Germinal Center (SHM and CSR)
Pax 5, Bcl-6
59
What transcription factors in Plasma Cell (--> abs)
