what are the main features of adaptive immunity?
SMT= specific, memory, tolerance
1 of 28
examples of APCs?
fixed and free macrophages eg kupffer cells, monocytes and microglia. B lymphoctes
2 of 28
where are APCs?
epithelia and endothelia
3 of 28
what do APCs do?
display fragments of invaging pahogens on their surface and present to IS cells
4 of 28
what is an MHC?
marjor histocompatibility complex- cell surface glycoproteins that bind antigens and present them
5 of 28
what MHCs are more common? why?
MHC I- they're in all nucleated cells, constitutive
6 of 28
what do MHC I activate?
Cytotoxic T cells
7 of 28
what do CD4 + T helper cells do?
activate cytotoxic cells, form memory T cells
8 of 28
where are MHC II's found?
in APCs
9 of 28
what do MHC IIs activate?
T helper cell
10 of 28
what evokes T helper cell activation and division?
a receptor binding
11 of 28
what do cytotix T cells do?
perforin,lymphotoxin, apoptosis
12 of 28
what form of Immunoglobin is the most common in blood?
IgG
13 of 28
What Ig is most common in the body overall?
IgA, abundant secretion by mucous membranes
14 of 28
5 types of Igs?
MADGE
15 of 28
each mature B cell produces what?
1 variant of Igs and recognises only 1 epitope (bit on antigen recognised)
16 of 28
what is the structure of Igs?
antigen binding site and heavy chain tail regions
17 of 28
why does each mature b cell recognise only one epitope?
hypervariable regions of antigen binding sites 5-10 aa's
18 of 28
what do follicular dendritic cells do?
make the Ig a reasonable fit for the antigen gets it the right shape
19 of 28
what do Fc receptors bind?
Fc rgion of antibody
20 of 28
what has Fc receptors?
macrophages
21 of 28
how is the bacteria going to die by being engulfed by a macrophage?
antibodys all attach to bacteria with tails tick out (fc region), the tail of antibody binds to Fc rec on macrophage
22 of 28
what is the process of losing self reacitive lymphocytes? where does it happen?
clonal deletion, in the thymus
23 of 28
where are B cells in lymphoid tissue?
cortex (follicular zone)
24 of 28
where re T cells in lymphoid?
paracortex ( intefollicular zone)
25 of 28
what cells populate therough the lymphoid tissue
T cells, B cells and APCs
26 of 28
what happens to cells on antigen presentation?
lymphocyte mobilization, cells divide and migrate to infection
27 of 28
what atttracts immune cells to the location of damage?
chemokines
