| Question | Answer |
| Explain the difference between an 'antigen' and an 'epitope'. | An epitope is a small sub unit on the surface of an antigen which binds to the antibody. An antigen is a carrier molcules which generates the immune response. |
| Which surface marker is involved in presenting antigenic epitopes on the surface of B cells? | MHC2 complex. |
| Name the surface markers present on T cells which help them interact with B cells. | TCR/CD4. |
| Which cell type releases cytokines? | T cells. |
| Describe the role of a cytokine in activation of B cells. | - Stimulates antibody production - Stimulates class switching - Stimulates proliferation of B cells - Stimulates the differentiation of plasma cells. |
| Which cell type undergoes clonal proliferation? | B cells. |
| What triggers clonal proliferation? | Epitopes binding to BCR. |
| Name the type of bonds which stabilize an antibody's structure? | Disulphide bonds. |
| How many variable domains and how many constant domains does each heavy chain in IgG possess. | 1 variable and 3 constants. |
| List the four factors which contribute to the diversity of antigen binding sites. | - Variety of different genes - High somatic mutation rate - Splicing - Coded on different chromosomes. |
| List 4 variables that would make a molecule immunogenic. | -High molecular weight -Chemical composition (complex) -Degradability of antigen -Foreignness to host. |
| Name a molecule used in the process of conjugation. | MAP |
| List the type of chemical bonds involved in holding the antigens in a binding site on an antibody molecule. | -van der waals -hydrophobic -hydrogen -electrostatic |
