Question
Answer
Where do B cells originate?   Bone Marrow  
🗑
By what method does Bcells make their BCR's?   gene re-arrangement  
🗑
What gene segments do the heavy chain consist o?   One V, One D, One J and One C  
🗑
What gene segments do the light chain consist of?   One V, one J and one C  
🗑
What is the specific antigen that the B cell binds to called?   Cognate antigen  
🗑
What part of the cognate antigen does the BCR bind to?   Epitope  
🗑
What are the BCR accessory molecules?   IgAlpha and IgBeta  
🗑
What can co-stimulation can occur to reduce the amount of cross linking by 100-fold?   Complement receptor and complement fragments on the antigen  
🗑
In the T-cell independent pathway, what secondary simulation interaction occurs?   TLR and LPS  
🗑
In the T cell dependent pathway, what secondary co-stimulation interaction occurs?   CD40L and CD40  
🗑
How does class switching occur?   Gene re-arrangement in the constant region  
🗑
What is IgM good for?   Activating complement  
🗑
what shape is IgM?   Pentameric  
🗑
What is IgG good for?   Neutralising viruses , opsonisation, crossing the placenta and ADCC  
🗑
What is IgA good for?   Protecting the mucosal surfaces as it is resistant to degradation  
🗑
Why is IgA resistant to degradation?   Due to the J chain  
🗑
What shape is IgA?   Dimeric  
🗑
What is IgE good for?   Killing parasites  
🗑
How does IgE work?   Fc receptors on mast cellls bind to IgE. When Fab region of IgE binds to parasite, mast cell degranulates  
🗑
What two career choices do B cells have?   Plasma cells or memory cells  
🗑
What cells do MHC-I present to?   Cytotoxic T cells  
🗑
What cells do MHC-II present their antigen to?   Helper T cells  
🗑
What cells express MHC-I?   All nucleated cells  
🗑
What cells express MHC-II?   Antigen presenting cells  
🗑
What are the three MHC-I genes?   HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C  
🗑
Outline the three steps in MHC-I processing   1. Degradation of proteins to peptides 2. transport of the peptides to ER via TAP proteins 3. Binding of peptide to MHC-I  
🗑
What genes are responsible for MHC-II?   HLA-DP, HLA-DQ, HLA-DR  
🗑
What covers the MHC-II binding site in the ER?   Invariant chain  
🗑
What is the invariant chain converted to in the endosome?   CLIP  
🗑
What removes CLIP to allow binding of peptide to MHC-II?   HLA-DM  
🗑
What is TLR-2 responsible for?   Peptidoglycan  
🗑
What is TLR-4 responsible for?   LPS  
🗑
What is TLR-5 responsible for?   Flagellum  
🗑
What i TLR-7 responsible for?   ssRNA  
🗑
What is TLR-3/9 responsible for?   dsDNA  
🗑
What are the three APC?   Dendritic cell, macrophage and B cell  
🗑
During the DC resting phase, the expression of which molecules are low?   B7 and MHC-II  
🗑
When the DC migrates to the lymphocytes, what does it recruit from the blood to replace them?   Monocyte  
🗑
Why do macrophages express MHC-II if they dont go to lymph nodes?   Re-stimulate the T helper cells  
🗑
What is the usefulness of B cells as APC?   It can generate lots of MHC-II quickly in response to a low conc. of antigen in subsequent infections  
🗑
What are the two types of TCR?   Alpha and beta, OR gamma and delta  
🗑
What accessory molecule does the TCR need to be activated?   CD3  
🗑
What co-receptor does MHC-I bind with?   CD8  
🗑
What co-receptor does MHC-II bind with?   CD4  
🗑
What do Th1 cytokines fight against?   Bacterial infections  
🗑
What do Th2 cytokines fight against?   Parasites  
🗑
What cytokines stimulate Th cells to become Th1?   IL-12  
🗑
What cytokines stimulate Th cells to become Th2?   IL-4  
🗑
What substance does Tc cells secrete?   Perforin and granzyme  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
