Neutralizing antibodies are effective at preventing infection or toxicity mediated by pathogens or their toxic products. In fact, nearly all
vaccines currently in use function by eliciting neutralizing antibodies. One example is the tetanus vaccine, in which neutralizing
antibodies are generated against an inactivated form of the tetanus toxin (the tetanus toxoid). The most important feature of a
neutralizing antibody is
having high affinity for the antigen.
being efficient at activating the complement cascade.
having a high degree of multivalency, such as being a pentamer or hexamer of immunoglobulin monomers.
being present at a high concentration in the circulation.

Describe the term "in-frame" and also the reason that it would be necessary for the generation of diversity in antigen receptors.
Some pathogenic microorganisms encode proteins, such as the Staphylococcus Protein A, that bind to immunoglobulin constant region domains with high affinity. These microbial proteins provide a benefit to the microorganism by:
Preventing antibodies bound to the microbe from binding to Fc receptors on phagocytes
Blocking the binding of anti-microbial antibodies to the pathogen surface
Cleaving the antibody into fragments that separate the antigen-binding region from the effector function
Inducing aggregation of the anti-microbial antibodies by multivalent binding to the pathogen-derived protein
Preventing the antibody from neutralizing the pathogen

- Can S-layer proteins be detected by immunolabelling when a capsule is present? How do you know? I need help finding the answer in the article and explain in short answer link to article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC106848/arrow_forwardPeptide editing is an important component of antigen presentation for both MHC class I and MHC class II pathways, as it drives the preferential presentation of high-affinity binding peptides. For MHC class II peptide editing, HLA-DM plays a key role. In the absence of HLA-DM: MHC class II molecules traffic to the cell surface with CLIP in their binding sites. No MHC class II molecules are released to traffic to the cell surface. MHC class II molecules bind to HLA-DO and are inhibited from binding peptides. Pathogens can evade the immune system by blocking peptide exchange on MHC class II. HLA-DO competes for high-affinity binding peptides with MHC class II molecules and blocks antigen presentation.arrow_forwardDraw a schematic diagram of a typical IgG molecule and label each of the following parts: H chains, L chains, intrachain disulfide bonds, hinge, Fab, Fc, and all the domains. Indicate which domains are involved in antigen binding.arrow_forward
- Serum from individuals with high levels of antibody to SARS-CoV2 has been used to treat patients with severe COVID-19. What is ONE way (there are several) that passive immunization with the antibody to the virus could help these patients? HINT: think about what opsonization with antibody could do for the innate immune response.arrow_forwardDifferent classes of immunoglobulins are distinguished by the structure of their heavy chain constant regions. IgM is the first antibody isotype secreted following activation of a naive B cell. IgM is found at high concentrations in the serum, and is found as a very high molecular weight complex. This high molecular weight complex is composed of: A single IgM monomer plus monomers of IgA and IgG A single IgM monomer bound to several non-immunoglobulin serum proteins A single IgM monomer bound to serum complement components A pentamer of IgM monomers Two dimers of IgM plus IgD forming a tetrameric complexarrow_forwardThe adaptive immune system uses multiple strategies to generate diversity in our ability to mount responses to a wide array of infectious microorganisms. These strategies include the generation of diverse repertoires of B-cell and T-cell antigen receptors, as well as polymorphism of MHC genes. The polymorphism of MHC genes differs from the diversity of lymphocyte antigen receptors in that: It involves DNA rearrangements at multiple gene segments in the MHC locus. It requires different enzymes than the RAG1/RAG2 recombinase required for antigen receptor rearrangements. It results in a diverse repertoire of clonally distributed receptors on dendritic cells, rather than on lymphocytes. It creates diversity between individuals in the population rather than within a single individual. It does not contribute to the transplant rejection responses that occur after organ transplantation between unrelated individuals.arrow_forward
- 1:Describe the various stages of T cells and the events that occur during each of these stages during T cell development. What stages of T cell development would be affected in mice with the following genetic mutations? Justify your answer. a) Mice that do not express MHC Class I molecule. b) Mice that do not express Rag1 c) Mice that do not express the pre-T-alpha chain 2:Transgenic mice that have constitutive expression of Rag1/2 are being used in an experiment to study pre-BCR signaling. Based on your knowledge of early B cell development, speculate on what might be the fate of BCR rearrangement and how will this affect further development of B cells in the bone marrow? please answer in full detail I want long well explained answers.arrow_forwardThe innate immune response together with antibodies are generally not effective at clearing infections established by pathogens that replicate inside host cells. The evolution of T cells has provided a means for the immune response to ‘see’ intracellular infections based on the ability of T cells to: Secrete cytokines that diffuse into the infected tissue Activate type I interferon production by macrophages and dendritic cells Activate macrophages to induce inflammation Recognize pathogen-derived peptides on host MHC surface molecules Express cytoplasmic sensors for detecting pathogen-derived nucleic acidsarrow_forwardIndividuals or mice with defects in the biochemical pathways needed for loading peptides onto MHC molecules show greatly increased susceptibility to virus infections. Experiments examining the MHC molecules present on the surface of host cells in these individuals would show: Normal numbers of MHC molecules expressed on host cells, but no peptides bound to them. Very low levels of total MHC proteins expressed on the cell surface. Normal numbers of MHC proteins on the surface but all of them bound to self-peptides not pathogen peptides. Very high levels of total MHC proteins expressed on the cell surface. Only virus-infected cells expressing high levels of MHC proteins on the cell surface.arrow_forward
- Name two ways in which the presence of antibodies enhances phagocytosis.arrow_forwardOne strategy for vaccine development currently under investigation is the use of pathogen-derived T cell epitopes as a component of the vaccine. For viral pathogens, implementing this strategy involves scanning the predicted amino acid sequences of the viral proteins for likely peptide epitopes that would bind to MHC class I and MHC class II molecules. In addition to the complication of MHC sequence polymorphism in the human population, another complication of this strategy for peptide epitopes that would bind to MHC class II proteins is: The importance of viral proteins containing peptides that are cleaved into 8–10 amino acid long fragments. The ability of viruses to mutate their proteins to avoid MHC anchor residue sequences. The fact that long peptides (>13 amino acids) are rapidly degraded in cells. The fact that MHC class II proteins are intrinsically stable, even in the absence of binding to a peptide. The absence of defined sequence motifs that predict peptide binding to…arrow_forwardThe virus shown in the diagram below is only able to infect and replicate in epithelial cells. In order for the cross-presenting dendritic cell to display viral peptides, rather than self peptides on its surface MHC class I proteins, which of the following procedures could be utilized, starting with the components shown in the figure below? Mix epithelial cells with heat-killed virus, wait 24 hrs, wash away any virus particles outside the epithelial cells, then add epithelial cells to dendritic cells. Mix epithelial cells with viral peptides, wait 24 hrs, wash away any viral peptides not bound to the epithelial cells, then add epithelial cells to dendritic cells. Mix epithelial cells with live virus particles, wait 24 hrs, wash away any virus particles outside the epithelial cells, then add epithelial cells to dendritic cells. Mix dendritic cells with viral nucleic acids and epithelial cells for 24 hrs. MIx epithelial cells will viral nucleic acids, wait 24 hrs, wash away any viral…arrow_forward
