Lecture 21 - Immunity (acquired) Flashcards
what are required for activation of the adaptive immune response?
Cytokines produced by innate response
T cells can recognize antigen only when presented on self proteins called ____________
major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins
T-cell activation is restricted both by _______ and by ________
antigen and MHC
what Presents to the CD8 T-cells
MHC Class I
what Presents to CD4 T-cells
MHC Class 2
Recognize antigen presented by MHC I protein on an infected cell
T-cytotoxic cells (T-cells)
Activates killing response in phagocytic cells
TH1
Activates plasma cell differentiation in response antibody-bound antigen
TH2
Effective at killing intracellular pathogens that are phagosome-bound
TH1
Induces production of antibody
TH2
Stimulates innate response
TH1
Stimulates acquired response
TH2
are soluble proteins made by B cells in response to exposure to nonself antigens
antibodies (immunoglobulins)
antigens are primarily short _______
peptides
what are the 4 sources of antibody diversity?
1) multiple coding sequencing segments encoded in genome
2) coding segments that can be combined
3) Variable spacing and recombination can add or delete nucleotides
4) somatic hypermutation
