types of immune cells Flashcards
how do we ID cells
by CD markers
first b cell development
pro b cell
how is a pro b cell made
based on cytokines they come in contact with
-drive a cell from immature to mature
where does b cell development begin
bone marrow
what cells release interleukin 7
stromal bone marrow cells
earliest markers on Pro B cell
CD43, CD45, C-kit, CD19
what is found on cells that tells you it is a lymph
Tdt (found on b and t cells)
what does C-kit do
Tells pro b cells to go on and continue to develop
what marker is an indicator of a b cell
CD19
major events on a pre-b cell
-development of heavy chain of Mu cell
-alpha and beta chains
heavy chain of Mu purpose
-non functional antibody
-necessary to receive signals and cytokines for b cells to continue development
-NON attached
what type of class is heavy chain Mu cell
IgM monomer
-have surrogate light chains (not attached)
alpha and beta chains also receive signals from
the stromal cells
what marker is starting to be seen in Pre-b cell
CD20
difference between immature b cell and pre- b
in immature there is no Mu chain in cytoplasm
in immature b cell there is sitting monomeric IgM sitting on the surface but what is different
now complete monomeric light chain because light chains attached to heavy chain
what CD marker is seen in immature B cell
CD21
-receptor site for epstein bar virus- infects b cells
what MHC markers do b cells get
class 2
-used for antigen presentation for T cell
-B cells good APC and at making antibodies
MHC class 2 present antigen to
T helper cell
in immature b cell what is introduced
self antigens
-if immature b cell reacts against self= apoptosis
90% of b cell destroyed
mature b cell will travel to
spleen or lymph nodes
if travel to spleen called
marginal zone B cells
-will stay here
-fight blood borne pathogens
if go to lymph nodes called
follicular zone b cells
-will enter circulation
-show IgD on surface for a signal receptor
-if not IgD will die
if a mature b cell does not come in contact with antigen after a few days
it will die
