Q

Which cells are the most effective antigen presenting cells? Why?

Q

What role does pH play in peptide binding?

A

A neutral pH allows for the disassembly of the CLIP- cleft complex, which allows for a peptide to fully bind to the complex. A neutral pH is found on the surface of the membrane

Q

Tuberculosis is associated with which susceptibility allele? Which protective allele? Which population?

A

DR2

N/A

India, Russia, Indonesia

20
Q

A nonclassical class II MHC molecule called _________ is required to catalyze the exchange of CLIP with antigenic peptides.

A

HLA-DM

21
Q

Which professional antigen presenting cell can cross present?

A

Dendritic cells

22
Q

Alleles found in MHC molecules differ by individual by _____ to _______%.

A

5; 10

23
Q

How are endogenous antigens eliminated?

A

They are processed in the cytosolic pathway (peptide is ubiquitinated and then broken down by the cytosolic protease complex, it is then sent to the endoplasmic reticulum via TAP proteins, and lastly it binds to the MHC I molecule). The peptide-MHC I complex go to the surface of the membrane

24
Q

What is the role of the trimeric protein in MHC II processing and transport?

A
  1. interacts with the peptide binding cleft
  2. Prevents any endogenously derived peptides from binding to the cleft while the class II molecule is within the RER
  3. Incolved in the folding of the class II alpha and beta chains
  4. Helps to guide the CLASS II alpha and beta chains exit from the rER, and the subsequent routing to the enocytic processing pathway
25
Q

To ubiquinate something, you need a lot of __________ to add the UQ proteins, this
destines them for _________

A

ATP;degradation.

26
Q

What is the most variable region on the MHC I molecule?

A

Regions a1 and a2 because they are the regions that bing the antigen

27
Q

What 3 compartments does the endolytic pathway contain?

A
  1. Early endosome (ph 6-6.5)
  2. Late endosome (pH 5-5.5)
  3. Lysosome (pH 4-4.5)
28
Q

What are the subunits of the proteosomes that degraded endogenous antigens?

A

LMP2, LMP7, LMP10

Q

Hepatitis B persistence is associated with which susceptibility allele? Which protective allele? Which population?

A

n/a

DRB1*1302

Gambia, Germany

30
Q

Leprosy is associated with which susceptibility allele? Which protective allele? Which population?

A

DR2

N/A

India

31
Q

What is the most variable region of the MHC II molecule?

A

B1 and a1, as they bind the antigen

32
Q

The presence of what factor indicates whether or not a T cell has been activated?

A

Interleukin 2

33
Q

Nonpeptide antigens are presented by members of the __________family of nonclassical class I molecules.

A

CD1

34
Q

Assembly and stabilization of MHC I molecules

A
  1. Calnexin binds the MHC I alpha chain, which allows the Beta2 globulin chain to bind to the alpha chain.
  2. Calnexin is released
  3. Tapasin, Calrecticulin, and ERp57 bind to the MHC I molecule, which stabilizes it so that a peptide can bind.
  4. Once the peptide binds, Tapasin, Calrecticulin, and ERp57 disassemble from the complex.
  5. The MHC I- peptide complex is now ready to leave the rER.
35
Q

An increase in systemic lupus erythematosus is associated with which HLA allele?

A

DR3

36
Q

How are B cells activated? What is their relationship with MHC II molecules?

A

B cells constitutively express MHC II but they must be activated before they can express costimulatory molecules.

37
Q

Hepatitis C persistence is associated with which susceptibility allele? Which protective allele? Which population?

A

n/a

DR5

Italy, UK

38
Q
  • 1 gene per __________ kilobases
  • ___________loci with _________predicted to be expressed
  • ______% of expressed genes have immune function
  • Class I and II have over _________allelic variants
A

16; 224 ; 128 ; 40; 1678

39
Q

How are exogenous antigens eliminated?

A

Antigen is endocytosed or phagocytosed and then broken down by lysosomes. The antigen then binds to the MHC II molecules. The MHC II- peptide complex then go to the surface of the membrane

40
Q

Malaria is associated with which susceptibility allele? Which protective allele? Which population?

A

B53

DRB1*1302

Gambia

41
Q

What is cross-presentation?

A

The ability of dendritic cells to take up extracellular pathogens and present them to cytotoxic T cells. This then activates these T cells

42
Q

What protein in responsible for guiding the MHC II molecule to endolytic vesicles?

A

Trimeric protein, The invariant chain (CD74)

43
Q

An increased risk in some autoimmune diseases is associated with what HLA alleles? Which autoimmune disease?

A

B27

Ankylosing spondylitis

Reactive arthritis

Reiter’s Syndrome

44
Q

An increase in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is associated with which HLA allele?

A

DR4/DR3

45
Q

What are the distinguishing features of antigen-presenting cells?

A
  1. Their ability to express class II MHC molecules.
  2. Deliver a costimulatory signal.
