Q

How b cell is activated?

A

second path : if the Ag was formed from repeating multi same epitope ( t cell independent ) b cell will +directly by cross-linking without interaction of t cell ,this is faster but indeed this is a bad news :(

There is two ways to + B cell according to the Ag it self
# the first path : if the Ag was protein or hapten carrier conjugated, b cell couldn’t stimulate because proteins doesn’t contain more forms of the specific epitope
So b cell will do something interesting, it will internalize (receptor mediate endocytosis and its not a form of phagocytosis ) the epitope and associated with MHC class2 and work as APC .

It will Interact with T helper cell to gane the two signals
1) MHC CLASS 2 bind with TCR and CD4 and Ig alpha and beta will + B cell (first signal)
2) CD40 L on + t cell will bind to CD 40 (2nd single)
T cell will stimulate b cell by producing its cytokines
