MIMM 214 Lecture Notes - Lecture 23: Phosphorylation, Mhc Class Ii, Cd154
Lecture 24 – March 6, 2017
Question
- Answer: C
- 1=iv; 2=iii; 3=ii; 4=i
Back to TFH Cells
- Secrete IL-21 and cytokines typical of type 1 (IFNgamma), type 2 (IL-4) or type 3 (IL-17)
responses
- Signal will activate to produce specific types of antibodies
- Tfh cells interact directly with B cells
- In response to all types of pathogens
B cells
B cells
- Lymphocyte
- Arise in bone marrow
- Key role in adaptive immunity
o Antigen specific
o Clonotypic
o Progenitors of antibody producing plasma cells
- Identified by expression of B cell receptor complexes on the cell surface = membrane bound Ig
Clonal selection and expansion
- Process of clonal selection
- Activated B cells undergo proliferation and differentiation
- One outcome: plasma cell that secreted antibodies
Signal 1: BCR binds antigen
B cells enter lymph node
- NaĂŻve B cells circulating in the periphery pass through the lymph nodes and spleen regularly
- Enter lymph node through HEV
o If B cell does not encounter antigen
â–Ş Leaves via efferent lymphatics
▪ If doesn’t encounter Ag after a few months, dies via apoptosis
o If B cell does encounter antigen
â–Ş Provides a survival signal (Signal 1)
How does the antigen end up in the lymph node?
- Antigens from pathogens arrive in lymph node via afferent lymphatics
- This includes Ag that has been opsonized via complement pathway
- Ag may be transported via activated conventional DCs → transferred to follicular DCs in lymph

Document Summary
Secrete il-21 and cytokines typical of type 1 (ifngamma), type 2 (il-4) or type 3 (il-17) responses. Signal will activate to produce specific types of antibodies. Key role in adaptive immunity: antigen specific, clonotypic, progenitors of antibody producing plasma cells. Identified by expression of b cell receptor complexes on the cell surface = membrane bound ig. Activated b cells undergo proliferation and differentiation. One outcome: plasma cell that secreted antibodies. Na ve b cells circulating in the periphery pass through the lymph nodes and spleen regularly. If doesn"t encounter ag after a few months, dies via apoptosis. If b cell does encounter antigen: provides a survival signal (signal 1) Antigens from pathogens arrive in lymph node via afferent lymphatics. This includes ag that has been opsonized via complement pathway. Ag may be transported via activated conventional dcs transferred to follicular dcs in lymph node. B cells encounter antigen in the lymph node.
