Quiz 2 Flashcards
important cells of the adaptive or acquired immunity because they are activated to produce various responses depending on the type of antigen the immune system is facing
T cells
Cell infected with intracellular antigen such as bacteria or virus
Target Cell
Target cells are targeted and killed by what cells
Cytotoxic T cells
T cells that migrate to the thymus
Progenitor T cells
Part of Thymus with earliest development of T cells
Cortex
Where T cell positive selection happens
Thymus Cortex
Part of thymus where later events of T cell development happen
Medulla
Where T cell negative selection happens
Medulla
T cells that still do not express signature surface markers
Precursor T cells
Precursor T cells are aka?
Double Negative Thymocytes
Signature T cell surface markers
CD4, CD8, CD3
Precursor T cells do not express these
CD4, CD8, RAGs 1, RAGs 2
Thymocytes that then posses markers such as CD4 and CD8 are aka?
Double Positive Thymocytes
When Double Positive Thymocytes undergo positive selection, they become?
Single Positive Thymocytes
When Double Positive Thymocytes attach to MHC I, they become?
CD8
When Double Positive Thymocytes attach to MHC II, they become?
CD4
If single positive thymocytes that bear CD4 attach themselves to MHC II or CD8 to MHC I, what will happen
Apoptosis (interacting with self antigens)
If single positive thymocytes have moderate to no response, what happens?
Release into Circulation
Set of molecules displayed on a cell surface that are responsible for lymphocyte recognition and antigen presentation
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)
Control mechanism of the immune response by the recognition of “self” and “non-self” antigens
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)
Transcription factor expressed in the medulla of the thymus and controls the mechanism that prevents the immune system from attacking the body itself
Autoimmune Regulatory Gene (AIRE)
Loss of AIRE gene will result in?
Autoimmune disorders
How many light chains does an antibody have
2
How many heavy chains does an antibody have
2
Surface marker of Stem Cell
CD43
Surface marker of Pro-B cell
CD43
CD19
CD10
Surface marker of Pre-B cell
Low B220
CD43
Surface marker of Immature B cell
Low IgM
CD43
Surface marker of Mature B cell
IgM
Responsible for B cells to undergo recombination in order for it to express diversity
Recombination Activating Gene (RAG)
B cells with only IgM as its immunoglobulin
Immature B cells
B cells with both IgM and IgD as its immunoglobulins
mature B cells
Mature B cells are released into the circulation as?
Naive B Cells
Once Naive B cells encounter antigen, they become?
Plasma cells & Memory B cells
Production of antibody is aka?
Humoral Immunity
IgM stands for?
Immunoglobulin Mue
IgE stands for?
Immunoglobulin Epsilon
IgG stands for?
Immunoglobulin Gamma
IgA stands for?
Immunoglobulin Alpha
