B cells
2.
Which is the largest antibody molecule?
IgM
3.
What type of antibody are IgM?
Aggluttinators
4.
What characteristic makes it IgM a powerful contributor to the immune system?
Efficient complement activator
5.
How much of the immonglobulin pool is made up of IgM?
10%
6.
What is the most common immunoglobulin?
IgG (75%)
7.
How does IgG contribute to the immune response? (4)= =Antitoxin, opsin, barrier, complement activator
8.

20%
9.
Where is IgA found?
Sero-mucous secretions
10.

Dimeric
11.
What type of polymer is IgG?
Monomeric
12.
What type of polymer is IgM?
5x polymer
13.
How does IgA contribute to the immune system/
As a barrier
14.
Where is IgD found?
Surface of naive B cells
15.
16.
Which immunoglobulin is responsible for allergies?
IgE
17.
What cells does IgE activate?
Mast cells
18.
What are humoral immunity characteristics? (3)
Product of B cells, is made up of antibodies, effective against extracellular antigens
19.
What makes the T cell receptor complex? (3)
CD3 + TCR + either CD4 or CD8
20.
What do cytotoxic T cells recognise? (2)
MHC1 + peptide
21.
22.
What type of cell presents MHC 1?
Target (virus infected) cell
23.
What type of cell presents MHC 2?
Antigen presenting cells
24.
What are the types of class 1 HLA? (3)
HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C
25.
26.
Where are the MHC 1 molecules found?
All nucleated cells
27.
What do class 1 MHC cells present to?
CD8 T cells
28.
Where are MHC 2 molecules found? (2)
B cells, APCs
29.
What do MHC2 present to?
CD4 T cells
30.
When does an MHC 1 APC/B cell present non self antigens to CD8 T cells? (2)
When infected with a virus
31.
When does an MHC II present peptide antigens?
After phagocytosis of antigenic material
32.
What happens when an MHC1 cell presents to CD8 T cells in lymph nodes?
Activates T cell
33.
What does activation of T cell allow for?
CD4 cell factors (eg. IL-2) stimulate proliferation
34.
What does proliferation result in? (2)
Memory cells, CD 8 T cells
