Lecture 1- Antigen processing, presentation and co-stimulation Flashcards
5 steps if you mix an e. coli with macrophage?
- binding
- engulfment
- phagosome formation (acidification via respiratory burst)
- phagosome fuses with lysosome to form phagolysosome
- membrane disruption
T cell does NOT recognize: (4)
soluble Ag
cell surface Ag
soluble peptides of Ag
Cell surface peptides of Ag
T cell WILL recognize:
Cell surface peptides of Ag presented by cells that express MHC antigens
