Lecture 3 Flashcards
MHC 1 are expressed by what kind of cells and from what sources
Nucleated Cells and Endogenous Sources
MHC II are expressed by what cells and are derivived from what source
APC and exogenous sources
CD8+ T Cells are
Cytotoxic Cells (Tc)
CD4+ T Cells are
Helpher Cells (Th)
This T cell has CYTOTOXIC functions to eliminate infected or damaged cells and cancer cells
CD8+ T Cells
This T cell produces CYTOKINES to direct activities of other immune cells and tissue cells
CD4+ T Cells
What allows cross presentation of antigens and activation of CTL
Dendritic Cells
special ability to capture exogenous antigen and redirect it to the MHC class 1 pathway
can take exogenous antigens and activate CD8
TH2 cells target what microbes
HELMINTH parasites
eosinophils, mast cells, basophills
TH17 cells Target what microbes
EXTRACELLULAR BACTERIA
neutrophills
What cells help B-Cell activation
T Follicular Helper Cells
Which immunoglobulin is MC found in mucousal tissues
IgA
Where does robust B cell proliferation occur
in the DARK ZONE of the germinal center
what is it called when the antigen binding site is mutated to improve binding
Somatic Hypermutation
Apart of B Cell Activation process
What happens in the Light Zone of the Germinal Center
B cells compete –> high affinty B cells undergo affinty maturation (attached to follicular DC)
Low affinty B Cells undergo apopotosis
The survival B cells –> plasma cells – IgM
The intial antibody that is produced before class switching occurs with the help of cytokines
IgM
