receptor where IgE binds
FC epsilon receptor
APC that has the most number of MHC class 2
dendritic cell
dendritic cells are capable of __ or cross-presentation
cross priming
t/f: dendritic cells have both MHC class 1 and class 2 molecules
t (for cross-priming)
organelles important in cross-priming
proteosomes
2 types of dendritic cells
classical/conventional
plasmacytoid
type of DC that resembles plasma cells and are able to release cytokines (e.g. type 1 - interferon)
plasmacytoid
third population cells / large granular lymphocytes
nk cells

t
CD markers of NK cells
CD16, CD56
CD marker of NK cells associated with ADCC
CD16
ADCC
Antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity
receptors of NK cells: killer inhibitory
KIR
CD94/ NKG2A
receptors of NK cells: killer activation
CD16
NKG2D
virally infected cells express __ and __
micA, micB
which nk receptor is activated when there is no virus in the cell
KIR
stronger and faster response of lymphocytes when encountering the same antigen for the 2nd time
anamnestic response
t-cell differentiation: cells that enters the corticomedullary junction and moves toward the cortex where TCR receptors starts to form
prothymocytes/ t-lymphocyte precursor
t-cell differentiation: random rearrangement in the gene occurs to code for the TCR
pro-t cells / double negative thymocytes
t-cell differentiation: positive and negative selection occurs
pre-t cells / double positive thymocytes
CD marker associated with TCR
CD3
t/f: in the selection process of pre-t cells, TCR must react to your antigen for it to be saved and positively selected
f (negative selection if nagreact, positive if di nagreact)
t/f: class 1 and 2 molecules play an important role in the selection process of pre-t cells
t (if recognized by class 1, CD8; if recognized by class 2, CD4)
CD4/CD8: direct killing
CD8
CD4/CD8: cytokine production
CD4
Th(1,2,17, or reg): activates macrophage
Th1
Th(1,2,17, or reg): activates b cells
Th2
Th(1,2,17, or reg): regulates immune response
Treg
CD marker of memory cells
CD127+
b-cell differentiation: rearrangement of genes occur which codes for heavy and light chains of BCR
pro-b cell
t/f: light chains are formed first than heavy chains
f
b-cell differentiation: genes formed are used to form chains (heavy & light)
pre-b cell
