Q

What makes MHC so polymorphic

A

Many alleles for the A chain

HLA A,B,C all have different a chains which make up the MHC 1

Q

What processes proteins made by viral cells which then make up MHC 1

A

Proteasome

17
Q

What transfers peptide fragments processed after proteasome to the ER (where MHC 1 lay)

A

TAP (in all nucleated cells)

18
Q

What covers the cleft (A1,B1) of MHC II before the endocytosed peptide can bind

A

Invariant chain

19
Q

Where do MHC II lay before the vesicles fuses with the peptide from proteases

A

ER and Golgi

20
Q

What is on T cells to allow for cell stimulation due to small cytoplasmic domain of tcr

A

Cd3 complex

21
Q

What 2 types of cd3 are there

A

Gamma epsilon

Gamma delta

22
Q

What does the CD3 have on it to allow signalling to T cell when T cell is bound with MHC

A

ITAMS

23
Q

What is CD8 and CD4

A

Gp needed to keep MHC close to T cell for activation

24
Q

What makes up CD8

A

Crossing of an alpha and beta

Interacts with MHC 1

25
Q

What makes up CD4 which interacts with MHC II

A

D1,2,3,4

26
Q

Why is polymorphisms of peptide cleft good

A

To allow broad range of peptide T cells can be activated by

27
Q

Why does polymorphisms in MHC cause graft rejection

A

Other persons HLA genes could be different so could be seen as foreign

28
Q

What is MHC expression induced by

A

IFN

29
Q

Why can a peptide be presented same time as another

A

MHC expression is codominant
