Q
CD8 killing of target cell
1)
2)
3)
4)
A

1) CD8 TCR binds to antigen presented on MHCI
2) Tc releases granzymes, granulysin, perforins
3) Perforins form holes in target cell membrane
4) Granulysins and granzyme enters target cell. Granulysins kill bacteria, granzyme makes target cell undergo apoptosis

Q

MCH I pathway of antigen presentation

A

1) Cytosolic protein is degraded in proteosome
2) Antigenic protein is brought into ER by TAP (transport associated protein)
3) Antigen associates with MHC I
4) MHC I-antigen complex brought to cell surface

Q

MHC II pathway of antigen presentation

A

1) Extracellular antigen is phagocytosed
2) MHC II leaves endosome in a vesicle, invariant chain dissociates from MHC II
3) Endosome containing antigen fuses with endosome containing MHC II
4) Antigen and MHC II complex
5) MHC II-antigen complex brought to cell surface
