Q

TCR structure

A
  • heterodimer; beta alpha TCR and gama delta TCR
    majority T cells carry alpha beta TCR and gama delta TCR are few.both they have similar structure but different recognition properties.
  • extracellular portion of each chain: variable (variable amino acid sequence) and constant (constant amino acid sequence).
  • stalk segment : connect V and C domains to the membrane
  • membrane region: contains transmembrane of both chain (alpha and beta) and is positive charged (create balance on the surface of cell)
    -disulfide bond : connect two chain

Q

MHC class II molecule

A
  • present antigen to T helper cells (CD4+)
32
Q

difference between MHC I and MHC II

A
  • MHC I, present antigen on CD8+ (cytotoxic T cells). have 3 alpha chain and one beta microglobulin. only alpha chain span the membrane. small peptide binding cleft, binding peptide of 8-10. the peptide tightly bind to the end of cleft coz they are short
  • MHC II, present antigen on CD4+ (helper T cells). has 2 alpha chain and 2 beta chains and they both span the membrane. wider peptide binding cleft, binding peptide of 13-17. they are more flexible and able to bind more peptide and the end of peptide don’t tightly bind to the cleft.
33
Q

similarity between MHC I and MHC II

A

-both have peptide binding cleft
-both has high polymorphic
- anchor residues
- both can bind wide range of different peptide

34
Q

which class of MHC do we have in brain

A

MHC I is positive
MHC II is negative

in mouse MHC II is negative

35
Q

where can we find MHC I and MHCII

A

MHC I can be found in any nucleated cells and MHC II can be found in antigen presenting cells

36
Q

what are two properties of MHC gene which enable it to kill pathogen

A
  • polygenic : contains several different MHC I and II genes and all have different peptide binding property. so that they can ensure production of number of MHC molecules individual.
    *in few words: if for example we have 3 genes they all encode different class I protein.
  • chromosome here are homozygote means one allele per gene and only 3 protein variants is produced here.
    *can create one variant of the gene because it is homozygote
  • no multiple variants of genes
  • polymorphic: they are multiple variation of each gene. they ensure diversity.
  • multiple variants of each gene
  • chromosome pairs show heterozygote means two different alleles per gene
  • two protein variant per gene
    *can create two variants of gens because it is heterozygote
37
Q

which property of MHC found highly in the both classes

A

polymorphic property is found highly in both MHC I and II class

38
Q

how do you call human MHC and mouse MHC

HLA-A,B and C

40
Q

what are three pairs of class II alpha, beta chain gene for HLA ((NOT IN EXAM))

A

HLA-DR, DP and DQ

41
Q

how does MHC polymorphic affect T cell recognizing antigen

A
  • it influence peptide (antigen) binding
  • influence contact between TCR and MHC molecules
42
Q

how does MHC affect transplantation

A

when the MHC alleles of donor and recipient are different body will recognize it as foreign substance and denies it.

43
Q

which MHC class is APC express on

A
  • APC express on MHC class II
  • all other nucleated cells are expressed on MHC class I example B cells, macrophage and dendritic cells
44
Q

how does three different APC type differ

A
  • antigen uptake: DR and Macrophage use phagocytosis
    -MHC expression: DR are few in tissue-resident but high in lymphoid tissue. Macrophage is activated by bacteria and cytokines.
    -location : DR all body and macro lymphoid tissue or body cavity
    -effect: DR result in activation of naive T cells. macro result in activation of macro
44
Q

what is the process of antigen epitopes being recognized on by T cells

A

first, antigen is broken down into peptide fragments
and epitope peptide will bind to the MHC molecule
then TCR will bind to the complex of MHC molecule and epitope peptide

44
Q

what are two processes involved in APCs

A
  • Antigen processing: it occurs within the cell and lead to display of antigen on APCs surface
  • Antigen presentation: APC display antigen on its surface in the way T cells can see it
45
Q

what are three main type of professional antigen presenting cells

A

dendritic cells, B cells, Macrophage

45
Q

where in lymph node are APCs located

A
  • DR are in cortex in T cells zone
    -Macrophage are in marginal zone sinus
    -B cells are in follicles
46
Q

what role does DR cells do in adaptive immune response

A
  • it initiate adaptive immune response
  • activate T cells by presenting antigen to it
47
Q

what are immature dendritic cells

A

are one that hasn’t account antigen before and they reside in peripheral tissues.
immature DR as soon as they account with antigen they migrate through lymphatic vessels to lymph node region where they will meet naive T cells and activate T cells

48
Q

when does dendritic cells become mature

A

when they account antigen

49
Q

what is the different btn immature and mature DR cells

A

immature DR: specialized in antigen recognition and uptake, they express low level of MHC

mature DR: specialized in antigen presentation, they express high level of MHC, they develop dendrites, regulate antigen receptor

49
Q

what are two different type of DR cells

A
  • plasmacytoid DR cells: express CD123, sensing viral infection (large amount of interferon is produced)

-conventional DR cells: express CD11c, activator of naive T cell

50
Q

what are 3 different ways of antigen uptakes

A
  • phagocytosis : uptake of large particle, complement receptor
    -macropinocytosis : uptake of small particle, Fc receptor
    -endocytosis: uptake of soluble particle, receptor independent
51
Q

which molecule are used to present antigen on surface of APCs

A
  • MHC molecule
    -and there is different molecule in each class
    -and each of their genes are polymorphic with many variant in the population
52
Q

how does MHC I and II deliver peptide

A

they deliver peptide through two intracellular compartment which are:

MHC I deliver peptide through cytosol
MHC II deliver peptide through vesicular compartments

53
Q

what type of antigen associated in MHC I and II

A

-virus and bacteria are replicated in cytosol so in MHC I and presented on effector CD8 leading to cell death

-other bacteria and some parasite are associated in MHC II and presented on effector CD4 leading to

54
Q

what are two pathways of antigen processing and presentation

A

cytosolic and endocytic.

-endogenous antigen are processed in cytosolic pathway and presented on MHC I

  • exogenous antigen are presented on endocytic pathwat and are presented on MHC II
55
Q

what are MHC restriction

A

MHC restricts the ability of T cells to recognize the antigen.

WHY: because when MHC genotype is different from what T cells was presented then they will be restriction on MHC and antigen will not be able to be recognized by T cells

56
Q

what are two ways of MHC restriction

A
  • directly: this is when MHC is different (change) so TCR wont be able to recognize it so that it can bind on it
    -indirectly: is when peptide bind to MHC change and TCR wont be able to recognize it so that it can bind on it
57
Q

When and where does antigen presentation
and T cell activation take place?

A

in secondary lymphoid organs: spleen, lymph node, and tonsil. where T cells can meet antigen and are activated

antigen are transported actively or passively to secondary lymphatic organs through lymphoid system

58
Q

how does T cells inter and leave the lymph node

A

-enters though the blood via HEV
-leave cortical sinuses when they are not activated by dendritic cells

59
Q

why does activated T cells doesn’t leave lymph node

A

because they are activated they start to proliferate and they lose their ability to exit the lymph node. after they differentiate into effector T cells and they exit lymph node

60
Q

How do the T cells migrate

A

they use chemokines and adhesions molecules

61
Q

Can all T cells recognize both MHC I and MHC II?

A

-Cytotoxic T cells carry cell surface CD8 and recognize peptide on MHC I
-Helper T cells carry cell surface CD4 and recognize peptide on MHC II

62
Q

what is cross presentation

A

is process by which dendritic cells take up extracellular protein and can give rise to peptide presented on MHC class I molecule
is process that enables antigen in class of extracellular source to be presented by MHC class I molecule and activate CD8 T cells

63
Q

what are 3 signal needed for naive T cell activation

A
  1. activation: antigen specification signal, binding of peptide through CD4 and CD8 , TCR and MHC class II
  2. survival: costimulatory signal through CD28
  3. differentiation through cytokines
64
Q

what is the importance of 3 signals

A
  • if only one signal occurs maybe they will not be activation and differentiation of T cells
  • allow self-tolerance expressed on tissue cells to induce tolerance
65
Q

what activated naive T cells can differentiate into ?

A

naive T cells they can differentiate into effector T cells or long lived memory T cells.

some effector T cells can become memory T cells

66
Q

what are the groups of memory T cells

A
  • central memory that express CCR7. they remain in lymphoid tissue
  • effectoR memory that don’t express CCR7. the migrate to tissues.
67
Q

why do we need Memory T cells

A

-because they more easily to stimulate than naive T cells
- they respond more quickly

68
Q

what are different type of effector T cells

A
  • CD8 cytotoxic T cells: which kill virus infected cells
    -CD4 helper T cells: kill pathogens and bacteria
69
Q

different type of T cells and their function

A
  • CD4 Th1 cells: activate macrophage
  • CD4 Th2 cells: kill parasite
