Lect8 Flashcards
CD4… attach to non variant portion of MHC
T helper cells
CD8…attach to non variant protion of MHC
cytotoxic T cells
Cytotoxic T cells
MHC class I
T helper cells
MHC class II
MHC class II are expressed on?
dendritic cells, Mo, and B cells… APCs
MHC I are expressed on?
all nucleated cells
T cell activation leads to?
IL2… which controls clonal expansion
TH1
help Mo get rd of intracellular organisms. activate ctyotoxi T cells
TH2
mainly involved in helping B cells develop memeroy cells
Th2 cells important for B cell proliferation
IL-4
TCR composed of?
two polypeptide alpha beta make up C and V
rare TCR
gamma and delta- broader specificity to include HSPs and phospholipids
genes coding for TCR polypeptide chains
members of the Ig super family
part of TCR complex
CD3
what is CD3 made up of?
gamma, delta, epsilon
two separate signaling molecules for TCR
zeta zeta
Class I genes encode a polymorphic heavy chain… expressed on surface of all nucleated cells.
HLA-A, B , C… combines beta2, microglobulin
Class II genes encode?
HLA DP, DR, D, DQ. composed of two dissimilar polymorphic polypeptide chains, alpha and beta, which contribute to peptide binding grooove
WHat is the binding site for MHC I and II
polymorphic region
class one made up of?
polymorphic alpha and beta 2 macroglobulin
-alpha chain is glycosalated
Class II composed of?
polypeptide alpha and beta… both are glycosolated
anchor residues are on?
the peptides
anchor residues bind to?
residues in the class I and II grooves and vary for MHC alleles
