MHC Complex Flashcards
What T cells are able to recognize MHC I?
CTL
What T cells are able to recognize MHC II?
Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh, Treg
What notable costimulatory molecules do Dendritic cells produce, along with MHCII?
B7 (CD80, CD86)
What activated B cells to produce costimulatory molecules?
Antigen binding to antibody
What activates macrophages to express MHC II and costimulatory molecules?
phagocytosis
What two characteristics make T cell receptors like antibodies?
Constant and variable portion of receptor
Consist of VDJ recombination
What do antibodies do in their differentiation that T cell receptors dont?
Somatic hypermutation
When an antigen binds to a T cell, what transmits the signal to the cell to differentiate?
CD3
What two signals are needed for a T cell to differentiate?
CD3 transmission and Cytokines from a dendritic cell
What signal transduction molecule does CD4 bind to?
p56lck
Is CD4 a monomer, dimer, trimer, or tetramer?
monomer
Is CD8 a monomer, dimer, trimer, or tetramer?
heterodimer or homodimer
What complex of differentiation on T cells binds to B7 on dendritic cells?
CD28
After CD28 binds B7, what is the pathway that is activated?
MAP kinase
What does CD2 bind?
LFA-3
