Chapter 5 Flashcards
Antigen Recignition by T Lymphocytes
Is TCR similar to BCR
yes
what does TCR have that BCR does now
alpha chain beta chain that does antigen binding
does tcr have a transmembrane region
yes
the red part on the t cell binds both what
MHC and peptide
does TCR undergo VDJ recomincation
yes
what are the two classes of t-cell receptor
alpha beta
gamma delta
gamma is equivalent to alpha which is equivalent to
light chain
delta is equivalent to beta which is equivalent to
heavy chain
where is the delta chain located on tcr
in between v and j
if the alpha chain starts the process it kicks out what chain entirely
delta
what do gamma delta tcrs bind
glycolipids presented by CD1 molecules instead of peptides presented on MHC
are b cells or t cells more diverse
t cells
total diversity is added afterwards with what
somatic hypermutation
TCR=
binding domain
what is the signal domain
CD3 and zeta chain
do you need both zeta and CD3 to work
yes
major histocompatibility complex genes encoded in the
human leukocyte antigen locus
the whole region is
HLA locus
class II HLA involves what
MHCII and other genes involving Ag processing and presentation
class I HLA encodes what
MHCI genes
MHCI is on all
nucleated cells
are red blood cells nonucleated
yes
what is present to CD8 and T cells
MHCI
what helps with intracellular infection/ antigens
MHCI
in MHCI Ag are broken down in
cytoplasm
