25
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 
26
What do macrophages do in the cell mediated immunity? What do effector T cells tell macrophages to do?
they phagocytose microbes and display the antigens to effector T cells the effector t cells tell the macrophage to kill the microbe
27
What do B cells do in the cell mediated response?
they ingest microbes and present them to helper T cells 
28
What cells present antigen to CD8+ (CTL's)?
all nucleated cells
29
How do Naive CD8+ cells react when a virus infects a host cell causing it to not produce the signals needed to initiate T cell activation?What is this process called?
using the mechanism where dendritic cells ingest the infected cells and display the antigens present in the infected cells for recognition by CD8+ T lymphocyte this is cross-presentation
30
can both, CD8 and CD4 cells use cross presentation mechanism?
yes
31
what are MHC molecules?
they are membrane proteins in APC's that display peptide to T cells
32
what is the most important molecule when doing a tissue graft?
MHC
33
on what chromosome are the MHC locus?
Ch. 6
34
What genes are in MHC 2 locus?
HLA- DP, DR, DQ
35
What are the genes in the MHC 1 locus?
HLA-ABC
36
What are the 2 sets of highly polymorphic genes found in the MHC locus?
1) MHC 12) MHC 2
37
how are the MHC locus genes (very characteristic)?
highly polymorphic
38
what subunits in the MHC 2 are nonpolymorphic?
alpha and beta subunits
39
what does the invariant portion of MHC 1 bind?what is the invariant portion of the MHC 1 molecule?
CD8 co-receptorthe alpha 3 domain
40
what does the MHC 1 structure share with the MHC 2 structure?
they both have a peptide binding cleft
41
what is different about the globulin composition in MHC 1 and MHC 2?
MHC 1 has a beta 2 microglobulin and 3 alphasMHC 2 has alpha 1 and 2 bound and beta 1 and beta 2 bound
42
what alpha sub-units in the MHC 1 structure form the peptide binding cleft?
alpha 1 and alpha 2
43
what is the invariant chain in the MHC 2 molecule?what does the MHC 2 invariant chain bind to?
beta 2 domainbind to the CD4 co-receptor
44
what chains in the MHC 2 molecule form the peptide binding cleft?
the alpha 1 and beta 1
45
what domain is nonpolymorphic in the MHC 2 molecule?
the beta 2 domain 
46
how are the MHC genes expressed?
codominantly because they are inherited from both parents
47
What cells express MHC 2?
dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes and B cells
48
what are the 3 polymorphic MHC 1 genes?
HLA- A/B/C
49
What are the 3 polymorphic MHC 2 genes?
1) HLA-DQ A1, HLA-DQ A22) HLA-DP A1, HLA-DP B13) HLA-DR A1, HLA-DR B1/B2/B3/B4/B5
50
Many peptides are presented by each MHC molecule?Why? what kind of molecule can the MHC bind?
 1 because there is only 1 peptide cleft and only bind peptide
51
when do MHC's get their peptide cargo?
during their biosynthesis inside the cell
52
MHC molecules will display peptides from microbes that are found inside host cells, with this in mind, what cell mediates the immunity to intracellular microbes?
MHC restricted T cells
53
from where do MHC 1 molecules get their peptide?
from cytosolic proteins that get transported to the ER
54
from where do MHC 2 molecules get their peptide?
from intracellular vesicles
55
dendritic cells, B cells, and macrophages will put extracelullar proteins that get internalized where?
in intracellular vesicles to later be processed
56
how will B cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages internalize extracellular proteins?
by having microbe bind to :- receptor specific of microbial product- Fc receptor- products of comlement activation attached to the microbe already (C3b or CR1)
57
what molecules do MHC 2 cells use to transport peptides or load the MHC molecule?
Ii or invariant chain
58
what molecules do MHC 1 cells use to transport peptides or load the MHC molecule?
TAP
59
MHC 2 processing of internalized vesicular antigens
- take up intracelluar peptide and put into a vacuole - then degraded in lysosome; (at the same time the MHC 2 molecule is synthesized in ER and put on an endosome with the cleft boud to CLIP)- CLIP is removed using HLA-DM - the peptide then binds to the MHC 2 molecule - complex is now transported to surface
60
When the newly synthsized MHC 2 molecule does not bind to the broken down peptide, what happens?
it is degraded 
61
peptide fragments that bind to the MHC molecule are called what?
immunodominant epitopes of the antigen
62
What another name for CLIP?
Ii, invariant chain
63
class I MHC pathway of processing cytosolic antigen
- virus in cytoplasm makes protein or the protein gets taken up through phagocytosis of the microbe itself- the protein is unfolded in the cytoplasm and ubiquinated, then degraded by proteosome- the peptides produced get transported to the ER by TAP- Peptides get trimmed and bound to newly made MHC 1- MHC 1 bound to peptide gets moved to cell surface
64
how do viruses evade MHC 1 presentation?
1. Removing newly synthesized MHC molecules from the ER2. Inhibiting the transcription of MHC genes3. Blocking peptide transport by TAP 
65
What is the consequence of MHC 1 reduction by a virus?
CD 8+ (CTL's) can't detect these cells to kill the virus
66
What ensures that T cells respond only to cell-associated antigens?
the need to recognize the MHC molecule associated with the antigen's peptide
67
what benefit does it have to segregate between MHC 1 and 2?
It allows the ability to respond to intracelullar as well extracellular antigens
68
Who will present antigen taken up from the extracellular environment?What will macrophages do once they have it?
Macrophages and B cells (both have MHC 2)macrophages will present it to T helper cells who will activate the  macrophage to destroy the microbe and activate B cells to produce antibodies against all other extracellular microbes
69
What happens to microbes that are in the cytoplasm of an infected host? (intracellular microbe)
Cytotoxic T cells will eradicate it
