___ always present on T cell receptor
MC
____ complexes are associated with T cell receptor on either side:
CD3
𝜺δ dimer
𝛄𝜺 dimer
T cell receptor signal transduction conducted by…
where?
𝜁-dimer
sits beneath receptor in cell
2 t cell receptor isotypes and prevalence
𝛼:β receptor - most common
𝛄:δ receptor - occurs more in tissues, function varies by animal
binding regions of T cell receptor
CDR1
CDR2
CDR3
T cells only bind antigen when…
it’s presented on an MHC
produces majority of diversity in T cell receptor
junctional diversity - 1000x more than in B cells
more diversity in T cell or B cell receptors?
T cell
2 cellular immune systems & what they do (briefly)
vesicular system —extracellular pathogens —MHCII —CD4 T cell activation
cytosolic system —intracellular pathogens —MHCI —CD8 T cell activation
cells that vesicular system occurs in
B cells & phagocytes
_____ T cells bind with MHCII
CD4
type 1 vs type 2 CD4 cells
type 1: binds macrophages, triggering cellular immune response
type 2: bind B cells, triggering humoral immune response
licensed cells
MHCI is present with self-peptides
NK passes it by
____ T cells bind with MHCI
CD8
CD8 triggers…
apoptosis
polypeptides composing MHCI

MHCII peptide length
25 AA
CD4 proteins contact ___ & stabilize bond
β2
function of proteasome/immunoproteasome
barrel-shaped protein that degrades cytosolic proteins
function of constitutive proteasome
cleans up damaged, misfolded, or unneeded normal cellular proteins, providing self-peptides for presentation
triggers modification into immunoproteasome
IFN-𝛄
fragments from proteasome enter ER through
TAP
forms around its antigen
MHCI
proteasome and TAP involved in MHC__ presentation
I
MHCII antigens originally come from…
endosome/pinocytosis
hide in phagosome, preventing presentation
Mycobacterium leprae and tuberculosis
MHCI monomorphic aspect
B2-microglobulin
6 genes for MHCI alpha subunits
A, B, C, E, F, G
_____ are highly polymorphic - they present antigen to CD8 T-cells
A, B, C
_____ present antigen to NK cells
E, G
acts as chaperone to assemble other MHCI complexes
F
5 gene pairs for alpha and beta subunits on MHCII
DP, DO, DM, DQ, DR
_____ present antigen to CD4 cells
DP, DQ, DR
________ are involved in assembling MHCII complexes
DM & DO
transcriptional activator - turns on MHCII genes as well as TAP and immunoproteasome genes
MHC class II transactivator (CIITA)
specific amino acids which must be present
anchor residues/peptide-binding motifs
MCH restriction
the T-cell receptor must be specific to both the antigen and the HLA isoform
