Chapter 20.6, Problem 18CYU
Class II MHC proteins display what kind of antigens? What class of T cell recognizes antigens bound to class II MHC? What types of cells display these proteins?
Figure 20.20 Simplified summary of the primary immune response.
Co-stimulation usually requires direct cell-cell interactions; cytokines enhance these and many other events. Although complement, NK cells, and phagocytes are innate defenses, they are enlisted in the fight by cytokines. (For simplicity, only B cell receptors are illustrated.)

Class II MHC proteins display what kind of antigens? What class of T cell recognizes antigens bound to class II MHC? What types of cells display these proteins?
Opsonization of pathogens by both antibodies and complement proteins (C3b) leads to uptake and destruction of the pathogen by phagocytic cells that express both Fc receptors and complement receptors. Which of the following in the figure below is the most efficient form of dual opsonization of the pathogen by antibody and C3b to maximize phagocytosis?
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.

- Figure 42.11 Which of the following statements about T cells is false? Helper T cells release cytokines while cytotoxic T cells kill the infected cell. Helper T cells are CD4+, while cytotoxic T cells are CD8+. MHC II is a receptor found on most body cells, while MHC I is a receptor found on immune cells only. The T cell receptor is found on both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.arrow_forwardSomatic cells can display antigen [small peptides] and present them to the body’s immunesystem via their MHC/HLA receptor displays. Discuss the paths for MHC/HLA1 vs. MHC/HLA2display. How do these two paths fit into the health of the body, and the response of theimmune system to normal/disease/infection?arrow_forwardHelper T cells are affected by HIV, how come is this receptor key to the immune system? which line of defense are we referring to? How is it connected to the immune system and which line of defense? Hence, based on your prompt, how are cytokines linked to the defense mechanism of HIV virus? Do you know or can you explain the cascade of events dealing with PAMPS, TLRs, interferon? What do they have to do with the second line of defense?arrow_forward
- Where are major histocompatibility complex-I (MHC-I) molecules located in the human body (cells)? Briefly describe how these surface markers present antigens to other cells. (Make sure to include where the antigen originates and what type of T-cell interacts with MHC-I antigen presentation.)arrow_forwardIgM antibodies are much more efficient than IgG at activating the complement cascade. However, under certain circumstances, IgG antibodies will activate the complement pathway. One example of a situation in which IgG binding to its antigen will not trigger the complement cascade is when the IgG antibodies are neutralizing a bacterial toxin protein by blocking the receptor-attachment site on the toxin. the IgG antibodies are binding self-antigens, such as chromatin released from dead cells. the IgG antibodies bind to a bacterial surface by recognizing a repetitive polysaccharide component of the bacterial capsule. the IgG antibodies bind to a viral capsid protein that is present in more than 100 copies on the viral particle surface.arrow_forwardWrite T if the statement is correct; write F if the statement is not correct. Antigen fragments that bind to MHC class I molecules are typically in endosomes. " " TAP1 and TAP2 are present on the plasma membrane of APCs. " " Proteasomes process antigens within the endoplasmic reticulum. " " Newly synthesized MHC class I molecules can be found within endosomes. " " Newly synthesized MHC class I α chains assemble in the ER with calnexin. " "arrow_forward

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.
