Chronic kidney injury pt2 Flashcards
where does B cell activation occur
in secondary lymphoid organs (spleen and lymph nodes)
where do B cell mature
in the bone marrow
how are T cells activated
by antigen presenting cells
where do APCs present foreign antigens
on MHC class 2 complexes
how do B cells recognise antigen
in its native form (3D shapes, protein, lipids, sugars, chemicals)
how do T cells recognise antigen
require a APC
CD8+ =
kill infected cells
CD4+ =
Help B cells
where do T cells have an education
the thymus gland
MHC 1 facts (4)
- expressed on all nucleated cells
- co-receptor CD8
- internally infected cells
- Cytotoxic T cells kill infected cell
MHC 2 facts (3)
- expressed on B-cells, dendritic cells and macrophages (APCs)
- CD4 co-receptor
- T helper cells respond to external proteins
pathology of transplant rejection
T cells respond to foreign MHC and reject it
alloreactivity =
T cells binding to foreign MHC on foreign dendritic cell in a peptide independent fashion
polymorphism=
having multuple alleles of a gene within a population
most polymorphic gene in genome=
MHC
how do cytotoxic T cells kill target cells
release of perforin-granzyme complex at immunological synapse forming a secretory domain and kill by apoptosis
Th1 subset =
enable macrophages to kill intracellular cargo
Th2 subset=
cells orchestrate expulsion of parasites
2 types of B cell activation
T-cell independant
T cell dependant
which type of B cell activation takes longer
T cell dependant
which type of B cell activation produces low affinity antibodies that are not versatile
T cell independant
what does T cell independent B cell activation involve
Toll like receptors or cross linking of multiple epitopes to BCRs
what is formed in T cell dependant B cell activation
Germ centre within a follicle
which B cell activation form B cells that can differentiate into memory or plasma cells
T cell dependent B cell activation
once a transplant donor has been deemed medically and clinically suitable what has to happen
attend a independent assessment
