Document Summary

Its job is to produce cytokines to help cells do their jobs or activate them. If you do(cid:374)"t do this it (cid:272)a(cid:374) (cid:272)ause i(cid:374)fla(cid:373)(cid:373)atio(cid:374) Some na ve t-cells differentiate into regulatory t-cells (t-reg) Lack of t-reg cells is associated with chronic inflammation. Immunological specifity is important: an antibody made to one epitope will not bind another epitope (unless that epitope is very similar) Ige is the same for all humans but different from eg. that of monkeys. Idiotypes = differences in the hypervariable regions within an individual. Is a monomer with 2 antigen - binding sites. Iga: major secreted antibody of mucosal surfaces, most commonly found as a dimer, linked by disulfide bonds to the j (joining)- chain protein. Secretory piece is wrapped around both molecules during secretion. Secretory iga is found in tears, breast milk and on mucosal surfaces.
