Q

Is naked DNA, or single stranded RNA a common antigen?

25
What type of macromolecule can be used as a T cell Ag?
PEPTIDES only!
26
What protein must the peptide Ags be bound to to be recognized by the TCR?
MHC
27
What can used as a B cell antigen?
anything, including antibiotics!!
28
How many chains make up the TCR receptor? What are their combinations?
Alpha/beta or delta/gamma
29
T/F: CD3 is on all T cells
True
30
what is the function of CD3
helps signal that the receptor has bound AG
31
Can you be both CD4 and CD8?
NO
32
Do CD proteins bind to the Ag or to the MHC molecule?
MHC
33
Does the TCR bind to the Ag or to the MHC?
to the Ag
34
Where does the foreign substance (ag) bind on the B-cells?
Ig receptor
35
How many light and heavy chains does an Ab have?
2 of each
36
Are the light chain and heavy chain copies identical, repsectively?
yes
37
What are the two types of light chains?
Lambda and kappa
38
T/F: Ag binding requires the interaction of the light chain with the heavy chain
true
39
What holds the light chains to the heavy chains?
disulfide bridges
40
How many amino acids or linear sugar molecules can the Ag binding site recognize?
6
41
What does the constant region of the Ab determine?What chain makes up this region?
Ig class and subclass; the heavy chain
42
What is the function of the hinge region?
to swivel to optimize binding
43
What is the Fab? Where is it cleaved? Is it a monomer or dimer?
The antigen binding fragment, cleaved WITHIN the hinge itself, releases two monomers
44
What is the Fc?
the crystallizable region of the antibody; pure protein with no variation
45
When cleaved BELOW the hinge, what fragment is created? what makes it special?
F(ab')2: won't clear the kidneys as fast and has double the binding capacity because it is a DIMER
46
How many different TYPES of receptors does each T-cell express?
just one!
47
Describe clonal proliferation?
1. APC presents a peptide Ag to a T helper cell 2. T helper divides and produces IL-2 3. IL-2 stimulates B-cell differentiation.
48
What T cell class is necessary to begin the immune response?
T Helper!
49
What region on the ab holds the Ag in place?
the CDR: complementarity determining region
50
T/F: Ab to Ag binding is covalent
NO NO NO
51
IgG1 and IgG3 bind receptors on (blank) cells
neutrophils
52
Binding of IgG1/3 to neutrophils allows them to do what?
recognize opsonins and eat the fungi and yeast
53
What is linear determinant for a b cell Ag?
Can bind to the peptide primary sequence; will still bind if denatured
54
what is conformational determination for b cell ag?
Secondary and tertiary structure dependendant: MAIN binding region is the FOLDED protein, but CAN STILL BIND denatured protein, just not as strongly
55
What is a neoantigenic determinant for b cell AG?
Any time you cut a protein you get new termini; this new "protein" is recognized as foreign and can stimulate autoimmunity
56
Can a single Ab recognize linear, conformational, and neoantigenic determinants?
Yes! (with varying binding strength mind you)
57
What is the first antibody produced in response to infection?
IgM
58
What antibody allow for antigen memory?
IgG
