Quiz 1 review Flashcards
low immunogenicity
Haptans
(require carrier)
ex. Penicillin
immunoglobin structure
N-terminal = Ag binding Fab = hypervariable
FC = complement fixation c-terminal = constant, defines Ab
Papain
cleaves hinge region
2 Fab, 1 FC
Pepsin
cleaves N-terminal
1 Fab, fragmented FC
no immune response
Hinge
rich in Proline
flexible
**IgG
**most common gamma 2IgG needed for complement *complement fixation **PLACENTAL TRANSFER mediates ADCC NK cell good opsonin
**IgM
chronic inflammation B cell surface complement fixation **FIRST PRODUCED (primary infection) no hinge
IgD
B cell surface
IgA
in secretions, blood, and lymph
- crosses epithelium
- TRANSFERRED IN BREAST FEEDING
- mucosal immunity
IgE
bound to FcR
allergic reaction
increased in parasitic infection
no hinge
light chain
kappa or lambda
**BCR
CD79
IgM & IgD
**somatic hypermutation
isotype switching
TCR
CD3 & zeta
alpha/beta -> VJ
gamma/delta -> VDJ
requires CD4 & CD8
RAG
cuts
23bp or 12bp
starts rearrangement @ small pre b cell
**TdT
*@ PRO B CELL
adds P & N
VD & DJ
*heavy chain only
AID
only active B cells
**deficiency in AID
no class switch -> Hyper IgM
**B cell markers
CD19, CD20*
B cell steps
Early Pro (CD19) - h chain : DJ
Late Pro (CD19) - h chain : VDJ + mu
(checkpoint: mu chain)
Large Pre (CD20)
- l chain - RAG only
Small Pre (CD20)
- l chain : kappa & lambda - IgM (expressed on immature b cells)
**T cell steps
committed double negative (CD2, IL-7/CD127)
double negative (IL-7, Notch1) - beta, gamma, delta
double positive
- alpha
- *double positive (alpha/beta only)
- POSITIVE SELECTION (MHC restriction)
- MHC + TCR
- *double positive (alpha/beta only)
- NEGATIVE SELECTION (self-reactivity by AIRE)
single positive
- TCR + CD4 or CD8
somatic recombination
beta, gamma, delta
beta checked with pTalpha*
**MHC1 deficiency
no CD8
increased CD4
increased intracellular pathogens
