Q

explain in detail B cell development

A

repertoire assembly: generation of diverse on clonally expressed B cell receptors in the bone marrow

negative selection: alteration, elimination, or in activation of B cell that bind to the components of the human body

Positive selection: promotion of a fraction of immature B cells to become mature B cells in the secondary lymphoid tissues

Searching for infection: recirculation of mature B cells between the lymph , blood, and secondary lymphoid tissues

Finding infection: activation, and clonal expansion of B cells by pathogen derived antigens in secondary lymphoid tissues

Attacking infection: differentiation to antibody, secreting, plasma, cells, and memory B cells in the secondary lymphoid tissue

Q

why are self reactive B cells edited

A

self antigen lignite’s immature B cells IgM

The immature B cell continues to rearrange light chain genes

if the new receptor is self reactive: light chain genes continue rearranging. successive new receptors are self reactive. No further rearrangements all possible and the immature B cell undergoes apoptosis

If the new receptor is not self reactive: the B cell leaves the bone marrow

Q

what is the fate of weakly self reactive cells

A

IgM of immature B cell binds soluble univalent self antigen

B cell is signaled to make IgD and to become unresponsive to antigen

Dissenters the peripheral circulation, but does not survive so long

25
what does IgM do
it immobilizes pathogens It activates compliment
26
what does IgG do
it improves antibody delivery to tissues It is small and rapidly diffuses it mediates cell KILLING The antibodies bind to antigens on the surface of the target cell Fc receptors on NK cells recognize the bound antibody Cross-linking of Fc receptors signal the NK cell to kill the target cell Target cell dies by apoptosis
27
what does monomeric IgA do
It supports IgG
28
what does FcRn do
It transports IgG across the endothelium via endocytosis The acidic pH of the endocytic vesicle causes the association of IgG and FcRn protecting it from proteolysis On reaching the basolateral face of the endothelial cell the basic pH of the extracellular fluid disassociate IgG from FcRn
29
what does dimeric IgA do
it protects mucosal sites binding of IgA to receptor in basolateral face of epithelial cell receptor mediated endocytosis of IgA Transport of IgA to apocalypse face of the epithelial cell Receptor is cleaved, IgA is bound to mucus through the secretory piece
30
what does IgE do
allows for rapid ejection of pathogens and allows for large parasite defense binds to an Fc receptor on mast cells awaits pathogen cross-linking activates mast cell degranulation
31
How can an antibody neutralize?
It prevents the adhesion of bacteria to host cells and toxins to receptors
32
What can an antibody due to the classical cascade?
It’s can activate complement and fix complement
33
how do Fc receptors permit Ig opsonised uptake
The antibody binds to the bacterium The antibody coated bacterium binds to Fc receptors on the cell surface Macrophage membrane surrounds bacterium Macrophage, membranes, fuse, creating a membrane-bound vesicles. [phagosome] Lysozymes fuse with the phagosome creating the phagolysosome
34
where do T cells mature
T cells precursors travel from the bone marrow to develop in the thymus Mature T cells leave the thymus and travel to secondary lymphoid tissues
35
What two main constituent is the famous made up of
Cortex and medulla
36
how many checkpoints are there for T cells
2
37
what type of rearrangement comes first in T cell formation
B chain rearrangemen Successful a chain rearrangement ensures a/b T cells are formed y/s rearrangements happen at the same time as the B chain
38
what is positive selection? DP T cell screening
positive selection of a/b T cell by the cortical epithelial cells in the thymus
39
what is negative screening/selection of T cells DP T cell screening
negative selection of a/b T cells by dendritic cells, macrophages, and other cells in the thymus
40
what is the third type of T cell
CD4+ it is a regulatory T cell It’s protects against imperfect selection of T cells Suppression of auto reactive T cells by regulatory T cells require them to interact with the same antigen presenting cells
41
What is priming?
it is the activation of naïve T cells Primary immune response
42
Where are immune responses, concentrated?
In the secondary lymphoid tissues
43
what do dendritic cells do
dendritic cells, take up, bacterial antigens in the skin, and then move to enter a draining lymphatic vessel Dendritic cells, bearing antigen enter the draining lymph node. Where they settle in the T cell areas. They also change function to be more effective(peripheral tissues, lymphatic circulation, lymphoid, tissues.]
44
what do naive cells need to be activated
co stimulation
45
how can naive T cells enter lymph nodes from the blood
T cells enter a lymph node across high endothelial venules in the cortex T cells monitor antigen presented by macrophages and dendritic cells. [when they enter a lymph note.] T cells that do not encounter specific antigen leave the node in the efferent lymph T cells that encounter a specific antigen proliferate and differentiate to effector cells
46
what does co stimulation prevent
self reactivity Co simulatory signal plus specific signal leads to an activated T cell when that is only the specific signal alone, this leads to the T cells becoming a ethic (a condition in which the bodies immune system fails to react to an antigen.] When that is only the co stimulatory signal alone this has no effect on a T cell
47
helper, T cells have different functions What are some of these?
naive CD4 T cell proliferating T cell immature effector T cell Th1 = macrophage activation, B cell activation, and the production of opsonising antibodies. Th2 = general activation of the cells to make antibodies
48
what is the Th1 response
Cell mediated immunity [effector cells] activated macrophages Control of bacteria More limited disease
49
what is the Th2 response
Humoral immunity [antibodies] antibody production No bacterial control More spreading of disease
50
what does it mean when the immune response is polarized?
The immune system is favoring one type of immune response over others
51
how are effector T cells activated
stimulation of a naïve T cell [Ag recognition, and B7 is needed.] Proliferating T cell [division and differentiation gives effector cells] An active effector, T cells recognizes and kills the virus, infected target cells [effector cells need only Ag recognition to act]
52
what do CD8 T cells do
cytotoxic T cells Perforate virus, infected cells
53
what do Th1 (CD4) T cells do
They have a macrophage containing bacteria
54
what do Th2 (CD4) T cells do
they form a B cell presenting a specific antigen
55
how do CD8 T cells work
collision a non-specific adhesion Specific recognition redistributes the cytoskeleton and cytoplasmic components of the T cell Release of lytic granules at site of cell contact
56
how do cells killed by cytotoxic CD8 T cells die
by apoptosis
57
what is the benefit of CD8 T cells
cells undergo controlled, programed death. this prevents replication or release of pathogens Enhances clearance by phagocytosis
58
What are the two mechanisms for killing?
cytotoxins Death, receptor interactions
59
what are cytotoxins
Perforin ,which forms pores and delivers for granzyme to the target cell initiates apoptosis
60
What are death receptor interactions?
Fas-Fas ligand ligation of Fas on the target cell initiate apoptosis
61
How can we manipulate the immune system by a vaccine?
B cell Binds bacterial polysaccharide component of vaccine conjugate Conjugate is internalized and degraded Peptides from the toxoid are presented to the T cell, which activates the B cell activated be so differentiate into a plasma cell, that’s produces anti polysaccharide antibodies that bind to the bacteria
