Lecture 12 Flashcards
Before birth B cells precursors commit in?
liver, after in bone marrow
mature further in
spleen, when expressing IgM
follicular B cells express?
IgM and IgD, populated all peripheral lymphoid organs
earliest cell commited to B
pro B, no Ig
-Rag1 and 2 first expressed later for Heavy chains
TDT most abundant
on pro B stage When VDJ recombination occurs at Ig H locus
cecreases befreo L chain gene VJ recombination is complete
TdT
most abundant in H chain
junctional diversity
primary transcript occurs
undergoes splicing introns are removed exons joined.
pre BCR composed of
u IgH.. invariant surrogate IgL
surrogan IgL
V pre B protein and lambda 5 protein… turn into k and lambda chain
covalently attached to the u IgH chaing by disulfide bond
lambda5
What singls show up as n B mature B cells
alpha and beta signal transudcers
rearrangment of IgH locus
at the pro B cell stage… gives rise to u Ig chain if successful
first check point for B cells
expression of pre BCR
downstream signal responsible for proliferation survival and maturation of pre BCR
BTK bruton’s tyrosine kinase
mutation in BTK
agammaglobulineamia XLA… falure of b cell maturation
light chain isotope exclusion
only one type can present
BCR provides Ag independent toxic signals that?
shuttoff the RAG gene expression that prevent further Ig rearrangment
most B cells from fetal liver or stem cell become
B1
bone marrow precursors after brith give rise to
B2
B1 cells have?
Igm, CD5,
folicular B2 cells have
Igm and IgD recirculating lymphocytes
