Diebel Flashcards
What is the receptor for Fc region of IgG?
CD32
What is IgG best at?
Neutralizing toxins
What is IgA best at?
Best at antiviral activity (only one)
What is IgM best at?
Complement fixation
What is the role of TDT?
adds random and a few non-templated nucleotides after exonucleases have chewed up nucleotides
- adds a ton of diversity
- Heavy chain only
- only works 33% of the time
- somatic mutation
What is the role of AID?
Adds even more mutation and diversity
- only in the periphery
- somatic hypermutation
- Activation- induced cytidine deaminase
- exchanges C’s for U’s then mismatched U:G appear
- Uracil DNA glycosylase removes U and DNA polymerase fills gap with random
- also helps in class switching
What activated TH1 and what does it produce?
IL-12, INFy and IL-18
INFy, TNF-B
what activated TH2 and what does it produce?
IL-4
IL4, IL-5, IL-13
what activated TH17 and what does it produce?
IL-6 and IL-23 and TGF-B
IL-17 , IL-22
what activated Tfh and what does it produce?
IL-6 and IL-21
IL-4, IL-21
what activated Treg and what does it produce?
IL-2 TGF-b
TGF-b, IL-10
What chain of the TCR is like heavy and what is like like chain?
Alpha is like light
Beta is like heavy
Do T cells have somatic hypermutation?
No but they do increase their diversity by alternative jointing of the D sequences like VJ or VDJ or VDDJ
- also has TDT for somatic mutation
What is unique to DC’s in terms of presenation?
Cross pressenation
- can present both ag on MHC 1 and 2 at the same time
What are the polymorphisms for MHC 1 and 2?
6 for 1 (only 3 alpha chains and a Beta-2 microglobulin)
12 for 2 (heterodimer with alpha and beta)
