L6 MHC Locus - Hudig Flashcards
What two proteins make up the MHC I ?
MHC I alpha and B2microglobulin
is B2microglobulin coded with MHC?
no, gene is outside MHC complex
What proteins make up the MHCII?
MHCII alpha and beta chains
Are CD proteins coded with MHC?
NOOPE, on a different chromosome
HOw many alleles of MHC does each person have?
2
is MHC inherited with crossing over?
NO
How many loci are there for MHCI? what are they called?
3; a, b, and c
How many loci are there for MHCII? What are they called?
3; DP, DQ, AND DR
what sets DR apart from DQ and DP?
It encodes two beta chains and one alpha chain instead of one each
Distinguish between multi-allelic and multigenic?
multigenic= three genes come together to make MHC multiallelic:= there are multiple variants of each of the three genes
which MHC I gene has the most alleles?
b
What is the pattern of MHC gene and allele expression?
both are codominant
How many different MHC I proteins will there be on a cell of a completely heterzygous person?
6
What cells would present with six types of MHCI?
all cells except APCs and RBCs
MHCI (blank) maximizes the antigenic peptide presentation in humans
allelic variation
Is it the way the proteasome degrades foreign peptides or MHCI construction that dictates antigen presentation?
MHCI construction, proteasome cuts the same protein up the same in everyone
Each memory CTL needs a match of the same peptide in the (same/any) MHC I (that fits into its TCR) to kill
SAME PEPTIDE IN SAME MHCI, NEEDS TO BE FUCKING IDENTICAL
What do you must have to test CTL anti-viral vaccines?
target cells of the SAME MHCI as the immune donor of the CTLs
