consequence of first t cell b cell interaction - it will not happen without CD40/CD40L interaction so no proliferating b cells os no follicular follicles or germinal centers

57
Q

why does HIGM2 have giant germinal centers?

A

it will have the first b cell t cell interaction and they proliferate like crazy. there is no defect in CD40L here so b cells will go into follicel and proliferate, but they can’t mtuate the rearranged VJ or VDJ so no b cell has advantage over the other, they won’t increase affinty so nobody is outcompeting, so you get giant follicles
in the x linked version they won’t proliferate

Q

peripheral blood lymphocytes from female carriers show skewed, or non random x chromosome inactivation, why?

A

it’s not really non-random in the b cell lineage - any b cell that has inactivated the x chrom that has the functional BTK is not going to make it through b ccell development, so the only ones that make it htrough the periphery in carriers are the ones that have inactivated the x chrom that carriers the effective allele. so it looks like non-random x chrom activation - during b cell development it’s not random - its chosen b/c they are the only ones that will make it
