Bridge bw Innate + Adaptive Flashcards
What are the 3 professional antigen presenting cells
- Dendridic cells (cDC)
- Macrophages
- B cells
What are the 2 ways antigens are sampled
endocytosis
- Phagocytosis
- Pinocytosis
- receptor mediated endocytosis
Direct fusion
What are the 2 types of antigens (locations they are found)
endosomal antigens are called exogenous
cytosolic antigens are called endogenous
How many of each type of MHC does each APC express
3-6 MHC1 pros
3-8 MHC2 pros
Where are do MHC1 + 2 cells expressed on predominatly and how many polypeptide chains does each have
MHC1- expressed on all nucleated cells ( 1 chain)
MHC2- expressed predominatly on APCs ( 2 chains)
overall pathway of endogenous antigens and exogenous antigens (what are they loaded on and present to)
endo- on MHC1 to CD8 t cells (killa)
Exo- on MHC2 to CD4 tcells (helpa)
Where does the start of MHC1 loading happen and what pro holds its structure (and when is it removed)
Endoplasmic Reticulum
protein called calnexin helps it maintain its structure and then is subsequently removed when interactin with TAP (transporter associated w peptide processing)
how are foriegn antigens tagged and trimmed down in cytosol
foreign antigens are identified and tagged by ubiquitination and fragmented up by proteasome
TAP then transports peptides from cytosol to ER where its further broken down by ERAAP
When the MHC1 complex is loaded what occurs
The chaparon protein complex is released and MHCs migrate to the surface of the plasma membrane via the golgi apparatus
Where does the MHC2 complex made and what stabalizes it
assemble in the ER and are stabziled by a pro called the invarient chain (li)
Once stabalized can make its way to cell surface via (golgi)
What happens to the MHC2 complex on the way to the cell surface
- fuses with endosome which degrades invarient chain and leaves CLIP in binding groove
What removes CLIP from the MHC2 complex binding groove on the way to the surface of the cell
HLA-DM removes CLIP and allows exogenous antigens in the endosome to bind to peptide groove
How many aa long is antigens that attach to MHC2
12-18 aa long
What are the 2 activation signals that APCs need before they are mature
- proinflammatory cytokines (TnFa + IL6)
2. PAMPs (LPS, DSRNA)
What two things are expressed more in mature APCs
- increased exprssion of loaded MHC1/2 (better odds for antigen presenting)
- Express chemokine receptor CCR7 and co stim molecules
