Q

How are MHCII antigens processed?

A

Endosomes and lysosomes

32
Q

How does MHCII antigen bind MHCII?

A

Endosome fuses with vesicle that has MHCII

33
Q

What is an invariant chain?

A

Occupies MHCII binding site in vesicle

Degraded in acidic endsome leaving CLIP

34
Q

What is CLIP?

A

Portion of invariant chain left behind in endsome

35
Q

What releases CLIP?

36
Q

What does HLA-DM do?

A

Releases CLIP

37
Q

What does MHCI do in absence of foreign antigen?

A

Presents self on surface

38
Q

What does MHCII do under normal condition?

A

Contains CLIP, not self antigen like MHCI

39
Q

Can CD4 recognize free antigen?

A
  • NO

- Only antigen in MHCII on surface of APC

40
Q

What does T cell, MHC interaction produce?

A

T cell proliferation and differentiation

41
Q

What can CD4 cells do?

A

Mediate macrophage activation

Act as helper cell in antibody response by secreting cytokines

42
Q

What is Th1?

A

T cell that activate macs that have presented antigen

43
Q

What T cells activate macs?

44
Q

What is Th2?

A

Induce antibody synthesis when B cell presents

45
Q

What T cells induce antibody synthesis?

46
Q

What T cells induce antibody synthesis?

47
Q

Characteristics of resting/immature CD?

A

Not good at antigen presentation

Good at phagocytosis

48
Q

When do DCs mature?

A

During innate response and after eating something

49
Q

What do mature D cells do?

A
  • Present antigen well
  • Produce cytokines necessary for T prolif/dif
  • Present co stimulatory molecules
50
Q

What are some costimulatory molecules?

A

B7

CD80/86

51
Q

What is required for naive T cell activation?

A

Signal from MHC with antigen

Signal from B7/CD28

52
Q

Where is B7 found?

A

Surface of APC

53
Q

What does B7 interact with?

A

CD28 on T cells

54
Q

Where is CD 28 found?

A

Surface of T cells

55
Q

What happens when APC takes up antigen that is not microorganism?

A

B7 may not be expressed

56
Q

What happens when no B7

A

CD40/CD40L process initiatated

57
Q

How does APC/T interaction start if no B7

A
  • T cell expresses CD40L
  • Interacts with CD40 on T cell surface
  • This induces B7 for costimulation activating T cell
58
Q

Cells required for antibody productoin?

A

Both B and T cells

59
Q

B cell APC?

A
  • B7 activated on B cell when presents antigen in MHCII
  • T cell recognize antigen and are activated
  • T cell now expresses CD40L
  • CD40 system causes T to release cytokines activating B
60
Q

How long must naive T cells be engaged?

A
  • Not long to begin signalling

- Minutes to hours for prolif/dif

61
Q

What is immunlogical synapse?

A

Prolonged engagement of T cell with MHC allowing for diff/prolif

62
Q

What facilitates immunological synsapse?

A

LFA1 - on T cell

ICAM1 - on APC

63
Q

Where is ICAM1 found?

64
Q

Where is LFA2 found?

65
Q

Where is LFA2 found?

66
Q

Can TH1 activate B cell?

A

Yes but to a much lesser extent than TH2`

67
Q

What are plasmacytoid dendritic cells?

A

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells - important in protection from virus

68
Q

What is interferon?

A

Antiviral cytokine

69
Q

Why do lymph nodes swell in strep?

A

Lymph nodes swell in strep throat as the are full of T cells that have been activated by antigens

70
Q

Can CD4 recognize free antigen?

A

No, only in context of MHCII

71
Q

Cytokine for TH1 response?

72
Q

What is INFG important for?

A

TH1 response

73
Q

What is IL4 inportant for?

A

TH2 response

74
Q

What is cytokine for TH2 pathways?

75
Q

When is B7 used?

A

Only if foreign partical is micro organism

76
Q

B7 and CD40 always present on cell surface?

77
Q

Can class switching occur without T cells ?
