Ppt 3 antigen capture and presentation Flashcards
How are the adaptive immune responses initiated?
When in presence of antigen
Do lymphocytes of adaptive immunity recognize same antigen?
no
What to antigen receptors on B lymphocytes recognize?
all types of molecules of antigen: carbs/lipids/protein
what do antigen receptors on T lymphocytes recognize?
only peptide antigen
What is used by dendritic cells topresent peptide antigen to T lymphocytes?
MHC
Do all dendritic cells need to use MHC molecules to present peptide antigen to T lymphocytes?
yes
what is the MHC?
a genetic locus that works by binding peptide antigen
what is MHC restriction?
T cells will recognize peptides only when they are presented by your own MHC molecules
Why do T cells have dual specificity?
because they recognize theMHC molecule doing the presentingand the peptide being presented
How do peptides bind to the MHC molecule?
through anchor residues
blood borne antigen are taken where?
captured by APC ‘s and taken to the spleen
antigen in epithelium or connective tissue are taken where?
lymph nodes
What cell mainly captures antigen and where does it take it?
dendritic cell and it takes and accumulates it in the lymph nodes
dendritic cells capture antigen and present it to whom?
Naive T cells
Once Naive T cells have been presented the antigen by dendritic cells, what happens to them?
they will start clonal expanssion and effector differentiation
where do we find immature dendritic cells?
in the epithelium
where do we find mature dendritic cells?
in the paracortex
once a naive t cell has differentiated and divided, it leaves the lymph organ and now has to find what?
the same antigen peptide it was presented by the dendritic cell
Give an example of a immature dendritic cell
langerhans cell
why are immature dendritic cells “immature”?
They are inefficient at stimulating T cellsbecause they do not have the necessary things required to stimulate T cells
Immature dendritic cells express this receptor to bind microbes
receptor for terminal mannose residues
how do microbes stimulate the innate immunity?
by stimulating Toll-like receptors in dendritic cells, resident macrophages and epithelial cells, leading to secretion of TNF and IL-1 (inflammation)
what activates dendritic cells?
cytokines and toll-like receptors
what do mature dendritic cells express on their surface?
MHC and co-stimulators (B7)
When dendritic cell encounters and binds antigen, where do they go? what is expressed in order for the dendritic cell to go there?
they go to the lymph nodes by expressing CCR7
What do macrophages do in the cell mediated immunity?What do effectorT cells tell macrophages to do?
they phagocytose microbes and display the antigens to effector T cellsthe effector t cells tell the macrophage to kill the microbe
What do B cells do in the cell mediated response?
they ingest microbes and present them to helper T cells
