Lecture 15

1.
Where do immune cells originate?
In the bone marrow
2.
What are the subsets of B cells? (4)
Naive, memory, plasma, APCs
3.
What are the subsets of T cells? (3)
Helper, cytotoxic, natural killer
4.
What changes between primary and secondary responses?
Time and magnitude of response
5.
What are the components of the antibody structure? (3)
Light chains, heavy chains, disulphide bonds
6.
What antibodies do B cells express? 
CD 20
7.
What antibodies do plasma cells express? 
CD 19
8.
What antibodies do T cells express? 
CD3
9.
What antibodies do cytotoxic T cells express? 
CD8
10.
What antibodies do T helper cells express? 
CD4
11.
What antibodies do natural killer T cells express?= = CD3-ve
12.
13.
What are the regions on the heavy chains of antibodies? (2)
FC binding region, complement binding region
14.
What is the region on the light chains of an antibody?
Hypervariable, epitope binding region
15.
What the the FC region bind to?
FCRs on macrophages, neutrophils etc.
16.
What happens when an antibody on a B cell binds to an epitope?
B cell is activated
17.
What happens to an activated B cell?
They are able to receive signals from T helper cells
18.
What happens when B cells receive signals from T helper cells? (2) The proliferate and differentiate
19.
What do B cells differentiate into? (2)
Plasma cells (most), memory cells (some)
20.
What are the heavy chain isotopes of antibodies?
Mu, delta, gamma, epsilon, alpha
21.
What are the light chain isotopes?
Kappa, lambda
22.
What are the antibody effector functions? (5)
Neutralisation, phagocytosis, complement cytolysis, antibody dependent cellular toxicity, complement cytotoxicity
23.
How do antibocdies neutralise pathogens? (2)= =Bind antigens on viruses blocking them from binding to target cells, bind antigens of secreted factors from a pathogen blocking them from binding target cells
24.
How does an antibody enhance phagocytosis?
Opsonises bacteria with antibodies which bind to FC receptors on phagocytes, making the bond stronger
25.
How do antibodies facilitate pathogen cytotoxicity?
Bind to pathogen which then binds NK cell which injects digestive enzymes into pathogen or releases perforin and granzyme in its proximity
26.
How do antibodies facilitate the classical complement pathway?
C1q binds to IgG Fc region releasing membrane attack complex forming pores in pathogen membrane killing pathogen
