Cards

Term
burtons tyrosine kinase deficiency causes
Definition
x-linked agammoglobulinemia which causes prodominent infections
Term
alternative splicing
Definition
u chain on B cell receptor is replcaced with DJV-delta to make sIgD
Term
colonal deletion
Definition
if B cell reacts to self antigens apoptosis is initiated. a form of negative selection
Term
anergy
Definition
when a B cell goes through colonal deletion but passes even though its bad
Term
what cytokines play a role in T dependent antigens and plasma cell antibody production
Definition
CD40-CD154 and CD 80-CD28
Term
what happens in a CD40-CD154 deficiency
Definition
hyper IgM, no class switching, no memory cells
Term
what happens in a CD80-CD28 deficiency
Definition
no t-depdent response
Term
what is the difference between a B1 cell and a B2
Definition
B1 express CD5 which is normally on T cells in early embryo, they develop into B2 cells
Term
how is the TCR structured
Definition
intra and inter disulfide links
Term
what proteins develop on T cells first, while they are still double negative
Definition
glycoproteins except CD4 and CD8
CD44, CD25, some IL-2 receptors
Term
when gamma delta T cells are made, where do they go first second and third
Definition
first to skin, then to reproductive, then to peripherial and lymphoid tissue
Term
where does RAG 1 and RAG 2 seperate genes
Definition
regional signal sequence RSS
Term
explain how a B chain is made
Definition
D+J
DJ+V -> B chain protein
DNA ligase combines it with B constant
Term
at what point does the B chain become double positive
Definition
when B chain goes outside with surogate alpha pTa
Term
how is CD3 structured, what is its function
Definition
6 chains, with zeta chain being the main chain in signal transduction
Term
how many times can the B chain rerange
Definition
4
Term
at what point is the gamma and delta locus deleted from the T cell
Definition
when recombination of the a chain is activated
Term
what activities of positive selection occur in T cell development
Definition
cortex proteins contact thymocytes with MHC I or II to test for self interaction
if MHC I its CD8 and a chains adjust
if MHC II its CD4 and a chains adjust
Term
what negative selection is in T cell development
Definition
deletion of cells whost antigen receptors bind too strong to self peptides
Term
bare lymphocyte syndrome
Definition
lack of MHC I and or II
lack of or abnormal CD4 or 8 cells
Term
what happens in RAG enzymes are bad
Definition
gene segment recombination issue
bad or no TCR or BCR
omenn syndrome
Term
describe the structure of MHC I
Definition
a1 and a2 make receptor region
a3 is membrane anchor
HLA A, B, C code for different a chains
Term
what does B2 microgloubin do, what is it regulated by
Definition
folds a chain into binding site, regulated by INF a, b, gamma
Term
what are the genes for MHC II
Definition
HLA-DP, HLA-DQ, HLA-DR
Term
what regulates MHC II gene expression
Definition
INF gamma
Term
what is HLA-DAM
Definition
peptide loading
encodes TAP peptide transporter
encodes LMP2 and LMP7 subunits of proteasome
Term
where is class 3 MHC
Definition
on serum proteins CD2, CD4, factor B, TNF
Term
explain T cell activation
Definition
LFA1 or CD4 adherance attaches APC MHCII and TCR and CD28 and CD45 amplify to activate
Term
what is HLAB-27
Definition
commonly associated with disease like anklyosing spondylitis, reiter's syndrome, acute uvetis
Term
what genes are associated with leporasy
Definition
DR3 and DQ1
Term
what does a superantigen do
Definition
connect CD4 B chain on TCR and MHCII on APC making them make IL-1, 6, 8, TNF which cause inflammation
Term
where are early embryonic stem cells or blood islands
Definition
para-aortic splanchnopleura and aortic-gonad-mesononephron
Term
what is the function of the bone marrow stroma
Definition
make developmental cytokines and matiration of stem cells
Term
what cells are in a primary follicle
Definition
B cells, follicular dendritic, macrophages. waiting for antigen contact or die
Term
what cells are in the dark zone of a secondary follicle
Definition
centeroblasts (b cells that encounter antigen on surface of dendritic cells) only B cells with high affinity to many antigens survive
Term
what cells are in the light zone of secondary follicle
Definition
centerocytes (B cells that encounter antigen on dendritic cell), some cells undergoing class switching via CD4
Term
what cells are in the lymph node paracortex
Definition
Th1 and Th2 mostly, T dependent b cells, antigens and APC, active B cells making antibodies
Term
what cells are in the lymphnode medulla
Definition
plasma cells, CD8 cells, macrophages
Term
what is in the white pulp
Definition
periarteriolar lymphoid sheath T cells around central arteriole, primary follicles, secondary follicles with mantle (B cell) and margineal (B/T cell) zones
Term
what antibody is made most in spleen
Definition
IgM and some IgG
Term
explain how T cells move into peripherial tissues
Definition
inflammatory cytokines induce selectin on cell surface, selectin contact with endothelial molecules slowing T cells through venule to target
Term
what molecules are involved with rolling T cell to diapedesis site
Definition
selectin, ICAM, LFA-1, IL-8 receptor
