mid 2 review Flashcards
how does compliment kill
opsonization and anaphalatoxins
where are complient proteins
circulating and membrane bound
what are compliment proteins made by
liver hepatocytes
tissue macrophages
blood monocytes
epithelial cells
the two heads of c1q must bind to what
one igm - planar and staple form exposes CH2
or two close igGs (IgG3)
what does MBL have
two protesases
MASP 1 and 2 that activate when bound to terminal mannose residues
MBL and C1q
structurally homologous
steps of alternate pathway
C3b spontaneously produces
factor B binds
factor d cleaves to c3bBb
this normally dissocaites but stabilized by properdin (factor P)
now it cleaves more C3 (positive feedback loop)
what are the way so of regulating complement
C1 dissociation
DAF- decay accelerating factor of C3 convertases in lectin and classical
factor I cofactor- breaks up C3b and C4b
protectin- inhibitsMAC and poly C9
breaknig down anaphalatoxins by carboxypeptidase
what are the functions of compliment
removal of ag:ab complexes: RBCs bind complement
activate B cell signalling by activating compleemnt receptors
removal of necrotic and subsceullular memnrane
response to virus by all 3 types of compliment
at the _ level, HLA = MHC
protein
at the _ level HLA = H2
DNA
how many classes of MHC are ther =e
3
a and b chain of MHC I
a is HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C and B2 microglobulin chain that is invariant and coded by a non MHC gene
a and b chain of MHC II
a in HLA-DR is non polymorphic
a and b in HLA-DP and HLA-DQ is polymorphic
what occurs w the MHC receptor genes
no gene rearrangement
