25
where is IL-7R found
on b cell
26
nonproductive rearangemtn means
b cell will die
27
productive rearrangement means
b cell will live, did it right
28
If V-DJ rearrangment for late pro-B cell doesn't work what appens
try V-DJ rearrangment on the other chromosome
29
if V-DJ rearrangemnt on the second chrom. you tried doesn't work for Late pro-B cell what happens
death
30
if V-DJ rearrangement works for late pro-B cell what happens
signaled to survive and become pre-B cell
31
what has surrogate light chain
large pre-B cell
32
which of the following is expressed on surface of an immature B cell
IgM
33
what is expressed on mature B cell
IgD and IgM
34
surrogate light chain has what
VpreB and gamma 5
35
every single pre-b cell will have the same
surrogate light chain - it doesn't vary b/w different light chains
36
light chain is always
different
37
if you have two different heavy chains what ahppens
theywil not bind the same pathogen. they will not be as specific
38
pts that do not have bruton's tyrosine kinase
no B cells, no immunoglobulin (antibodies)
39
what does Btk stand for
Bruton's tyrosine kinase
40
agammglobulinemia means
no antibodies in blood
41
X-linked agammaglobulinemia
no b cells and no immunoglobulin
| They do not have bruton's tyrosine kinase
42
what is the first checkpoint in b cell development
use surrogate to see if it can express pre-b cell receptor. if surrogate cannot bind then something is wrong and they induce apoptosis
selection of functional heavy chains
43
selection of functional heavy chain is which checkpoint
first
44
if the b cell surives checkpoint and has allelic exclusion what will it do
proliferate
45
after b cells proliferate what is re-expressed
RAG
46
what does RAG help do to pre-b cell
L chain rearrangement
47
for heavy chain it's harder to get right b/c
you are deleting a bunch of space so if you deleted wrong then you don't have anything to fix it (pg 19)
48
it's easier to make light chain b/c
there are a lot of choices, can try tor lambda, kappa, etc. and if mom's doesn't work, then try dad's. can do this for all of them
49
making L chain doesn't work what happens
die
50
immature b cells will have exactlyt he same
h and light chain
51
what is the second checkpoint for b cell development
checking for functional light chain
52
some IgM will have antibody sight that is against
self
53
immature b cells are tested for what before they can leave bone marrow
for autoreactivity - to see if they are going to recognize self
54
what are three mechanisms for negative selection against tolerance to self
deletion
anergy
receptor editing
55
negative selection: deletion, describe
apoptotic death
56
negative selection: anergy, describe
paralysis of function
57
negative selection: receptor editing, describe
alteration of specificity
| go back to DNA level and edit the V region of the light chain
58
when go back at DNA level for receptor editing what are the choices?
edit the V region of the light chain
59
why can't you go back change heavy chain in DNA
you already deleted most stuff, so can't fix it, it's gone forever
60
define receptor editing
immature B cell binds multivalent self antigen, light chain rearranges for a chance to make BCR with new specificity
61
define clonal deletion
immature B cell binds multivalent self antigen leading to apoptosis
62
define clonal anergy
immature B cell binds soluble self antigen, becomes paralyzed
63
what is first that happens if you are in bone marrow and stromal cells expressing self antigen and you bind to it
this is bad - don't want to bind to the antigen.
| it is retained in bone marrow
64
how can you know b cell is immature
no IgD
65
if you do not react with self antigen when you are immature b cell what will happen
move to blood and express IgD and IgM and become mature
66
receptor editing, describe in detail what happens
go to DNA and edit light chain.
you can edit light chain and use mom or dad allele, still have a lot more choices to try until something works.
get rid of VJ chain we know is bad.
reactivate RAG. get new V and J together and make brand new VJ, hoping the new one will not be against self
67
VJ premade that was sent back by receptor editting is
reacting to self - so we don't want that, want to get rid of it
68
during receptor editing rexpression of what
RAG1 & 2
69
once you have edited and chaged light chain from receptor editing, what happens
test on self and it doesn't react, it can go into blood and mature
70
once you have dittied and changed light chain from receptor editing and it reacts to self again what happens
it will go back and get editted at DNA level and this keeps happening (to a point) until you get it right
71
when IgM of immature b cell binds to soluble univalent self antigen what happens
it is signaled to make IgD and to become unresponsive to antigens (anergic)
72
term for unresponsive b cell
anergic
73
once b cell is out of bone marrow and it is in blood where does it go
searches for lymph node or other secondary lymph organ
74
in order for b cell to fully develop it needs to go into
primary lymphoid follicle
75
HEV stands for
high endothelial venules
76
when b cell in HEV there will be what two chemokines
CCL21& CCL19
77
what do CCL21 and CCL 19 do
attract b cell into lymph node
78
follicular dendritic cells make what chemokine
CXCL13
79
CXCL13 does what
brings b cell into follicle
80
FDC stands for
follicular dendritic cells
81
follicular dendritic cell vs dendritic cell
very different, from different precurer, different function
82
follicular dendritic cell mainly found
b zone of lymph node
83
the reaction to get into the b zone of lymph node is
very compettiive
84
what happens if b cell doesn't get into b zone of lymph node after it leaves bone marrow
it will die :(
85
the majority of b cell is what kind
B-2 Cells
86
describe B-2 Cells
what we have been talking about, the normal and what most people have
“Conventional B cells” derived from different progenitor cells than B-1 cells
Main players in adaptive humoral responses
Extensive N- and P- nucleotide
Extensive somatic hypermutation
87
B-1 cells are a subpopulation of
b cells
88
B-1 cells secrete
natural antibody - mostly IgM
89
majority of antigen B-1 cell responds to is
polysacharides (sugar!)
90
describe B-1 cells
Unique subpopulation of B cells
Extensively studied in mice but recently characterized in humans
Develop prior to birth
Secrete “natural antibody” (mostly IgM)
Little N-nucleotide addition or somatic hypermutation
Broadly antimicrobial - first line of humoral protection
91
are there memory for B-1 cells
no
92
B-1 cells are not derived from bone marrow they are
self-renewing
93
B-1 cells are first produced
fetus
94
b-2 are first produced
after birth
95
do b-1 cells require help from t cell
no
96
do b-2 cell require help from t-cell
yes
97
where is primary location of b-1 cell
peritoneal and pleural cavities
98
why don't b-1 cells need help from t-cell
they don't need help from t-cell b/c t-cell don't see sugar, they only see linear peptides
99
explain heterogeneous vs. homogenous and allelic exclusion
you want the antibody, to have all the chains have the same specificity. that is why you only use mom or only use dad's dna. if you don't use allelic exclusion you would have heterogenous and each chain could want to bind to differnt things and it wouldn't be efficient or effective.
if you use allelic exclusion, you will have only mom or only dad's, so all the chains will want to bind to the same thing and will be effective.
100
where in the maturation process of b cell can you make mistakes and then have second and third chances to go back and fix
Rearrangement of the light-chain loci by pre-B cells is relatively efficient
101
which chain can you go back and fix and have "second chance" to make right
light chain
102
successive rearrangments are possible at:
Ig light chain loci
