C19 Tumor Immunology Flashcards
Tumor from bone and cartilage and lower incidence
Sarcoma
Tumor that develops from endodermal or ectodermal tissues (skin, glands), most malignant tumor’s including breast, colon, lung
Carcinomas
B cell receptors fine tuned
Somatic hyper mutation in antigen binding region of BCR
Proliferation to select mutations that have increased binding
Affinity maturation
B cell change of constant Fc region
Class switching
Ligation by this ligand is required for both class switching and hypermutation, which is found on surface of activated helper T cells
CD40L
T cell dependent activated IgG, IgA or IgE antibodies are
affinity matured (AGE)
Changed by class switching
Fc region of variable region
Two keys required for beginning B cell activation
One – cross-linking B cell receptors BCR
Two – Costimulatory contact
CD40L are found on the surface of what molecule
Helper T cells
CD40 proteins are found on the surface of what cell
B cells
