The purpose of the invariant chain is to block the peptide-binding site of Class II MHC molecules
A processed antigen first encounters and binds to MHC class II molecules in the Endosomal compartment
Endogenous peptides binding to MHC-A, MHC-B, MHC-C molecules on the surface of hepatocytes are critical for the response by Cytotoxic cells
Which is likely to be the most immunogenic? A protein that weighs 45,000 daltans
Antigens found in different species that trigger a similar antibody response are called Heterophile antigen
The ability to respond to antigen depends on Age, nutrition, genetics
A bacterial antigen to which the human immune system responds would be classified as Heteroantigen

What are considered acute-phase reactants Fibrinogen complement, CRP
Natural killer cells recognize and kill abnormal host cells that Lack MHC 1 molecule
The killing mechanism of natural killer cells is regulated by Both inhibitory & activating receptors
Toll-like receptors bind to: Pathogen associated molecular patterns
Patients with chronic granulomatous disease have neutrophils that cannot kill bacteria because They do not produce superoxide
Name enzyme that protects host cells rather than destroying invading cells A-1 anti trypcin
Toll-like receptors and C-type lectin receptors are examples of: Pathogen recognize receptors
After a macrophage phagocytizes, kills, and digest a microbe Some microbial peptides are bond by MHC class II
C-reactive protein, complement components, and antibodies are Opsonins
Proteins that form channels in target cell membranes are called Perforins
Oxygen-independent bacterial killing in the phagolysosome involves Ph activated defensins
