Which of the following is not a differences between naïve B cells and plasma cells?
plasma cells can be induced to undergo somatic hypermutation, but naive cells cannot.
Diphtheria and tetanus antibodies work by
neutralizing receptor binding fragments.
T/f
The epithelial cells of the mucosa respond to extracellular pathogens through the endosomal response system but are unable to detect pathogens or their antigens in the cytosol.
false
T/F
IgM, but not IgA will lead to complement fixation in the lumen of the intestine.
false
Whereas —— is the predominant immunoglobulin in intestinal fluid, —— is the dominant immunoglobulin in the urogenital tract.
dimeric IgA; pentameric IgM
activation of naive B cells begins with…
cross linking from multiple antigens
without T cells, —– can promote some IgM production in B1 cells
densely packed antigen
response seen in Digeorge patients without thymus
production of IgM in response to densely packed antigen
TFH cognate pair begins B cell transformation into…
making…
lymphoblast
soluble IgM
2 pathways for lymphoblast
primary or secondary focus
primary focus
cognate pair moves toward medulla and reproduce
—– focus makes plasma cells
—- focus makes memory cells
primary
secondary
results in germinal center
secondary focus
2 types of cells and zones in germinal center
centroblasts – dark zone – dedicated to making Ab
centrocytes – light zone – wait to bind antigen with TFH
within ——, germinal center drives immune response
a week
plasma cells are only long lived if…
they return to the bone marrow
can activate oncogenes
somatic hypermutation
—- deficiency prevents germinal centers from forming
CD40
isotype switching to —- is the norm for memory cells
IgG
mobile eosinophils destroy pathogen by…
cumulative action
crossaffinity
eosinophil reaction to innocuous substances
binary toxins
toxin component and binding component
toxin fragments
toxoid
pentameric IgM takes —- form on cell surface
IgM
