Q

Process of antigen presentation (getting the antigen to area that will most likely come into contact with B and T cells)
4 steps:

A
  1. microbe infects host
  2. microbe taken up by APC at s.o.i.
  3. APC enters lymph circulation and into LN
  4. Naive T and B cells enter LN from circulation
18
Q

… was linked to graft rejection but later found to be critical importance to all immune responses involving proteins Ags

A

Major histocompatibility complex

19
Q

…. is found on all nucleated cells, is recognized by CD8+ T cells and can have cytoplasmic protein bound to it

A

MHCI

20
Q

….. is found on APCs, extracellular proteins will be bound to it and it is recognized by CD4+ T cells

A

MHCII

21
Q

…. is the process by which antigens are digested and placed on the cell surface with the correct MHC molecule

A

antigen processing

22
Q

There are … pathways for processing antigens

A

2

23
Q

Pathway 1 for processing antigens is when:

Extracellular proteins are internalized by professional APCs into vesicles, processed and displayes by …. molecules

A

MHCII

24
Q

Pathway 2 for processing antigens is when:

Proteins in the cytosol of nucleated cells are processed and displayed by … molecules

A

MHCI

25
Q

Often cytosolic proteins are… proteins

A

viral

26
Q

In pathway 2 (cytosolic), …. binds to proteins which targets them for degradation

A

ubiquitin

27
Q

In pathway 2 (cytosolic proteins):
Ubiquinated proteins are cleaved into smaller peptides by the…
These peptides are transported to ER by…. and then trimmed to correct size by…. so that it can bind to the binding groove of…

Once … binds ag, released from ER, packed in golgi, trafficked to surface, expressed so…. can recognize it

A
proteosome
TAP transporters
ERAP
MHCI
MHCI
CD8+ T cell
28
Q

In pathway 1 (extracellular proteins):
Extracellular are taken up into vesicular compartments of… then there is formation of the…. as well as degradation of the microbe by…. and…
The… is syn. in ER, packed in golgi and then transported to phagolysosome where it fuses and the ag binds to binding groove before it goes to the surface and is expressed so that … can recognize it

A
  • APC
  • phagolysosome
  • ROS/NO and enzymes
  • MHCII
  • CD4+
29
Q

Antigen processing and presentation is essential for activation of naive T cells but…

32
Q

Recognition of antigen ( and MHC) in the absence of …. fails to activate T cell, in fact it leads to …. of the T cekk

A
  • co-stimulation
