Epitope |
Determinants of antigenicity |
|
Antigenic |
Term: recognized as foreign by host prrs and antibodies |
|
Antigen |
Any substance that can bind to an antibody or TCR |
|
Immunogen |
Substance that elicits an immune response |
|
T |
[T/F]: All immunogens are antigen, not all antigen are immunogen |
|
Size, complexity, form |
Intrinsic properties of immunogen |
|
Dose, route, foreigness |
Extrinsic property of immunogen |
|
> 10 000 mW |
Immunogen size |
|
Polymer (>monomer), aggregated (>soluble) |
Complexity and form of immunogen |
|
10 microgram to 1g, parenteral |
Immunogenic in terms of dose and route |
|
Hapten |
Low mW molecules that can only bind to antibodies but not induce immune response |
|
F |
[T/F]: Nucleic acids, simple polysaccharides with repeating subunits and lipids are good immunogens |
|
Soluble molecule is not easily phagocytosed |
Why is soluble form not a good immunogen |
|
T |
[T/F]: extremely high/low doses may suppress an immune response by stimulating tolerance |
|
Molecules is degraded before introduction to phagocyte |
Cons for introducing immunogen via oral route |
|
OPV (polio) , rotavirus |
Oral vaccines |
|
Diptheria-tetus-pertussis, hepa B, IPV, Hib, PCV-7 |
Intramuscular vaccine (5) |
|
Measles, yellow fever |
Subcutanous vaccine |
|
BCG (tuberculosis) |
Intradermal vaccine |
|
Binary complex Ag-Ig, ternary complex TCR-Ag-MHC |
B cell vs T cell: Interaction with antigen |
|
Yes, No |
B cell vs T cell: Binding of soluble antigen |
|
None, required |
B cell vs T cell: Involvement of MHC |
|
Protein, ploysaccharide, lipid; protein or lipid/glycolipid presented on MHC |
B cell vs T cell: Chemical nature of antigens |
|
Accessible, hydrophilic, mobile |
Epitope properties of those recognized by B cell |
|
Internal linear peptided |
Epitope properties of those recognized by TCR |
|
T cell surface glycoprotein |
T cell part: Recognizes MHC |
|
Homologous |
Antigen that induces antibody or TCR |
|
Heterologous |
Non-inducing antigens that react with antibody |
|
Cross reaction |
Interaction between antibody/TCR + heterologous antigen |
|
Alpha, beta chains; disulfide bond |
Chain of tcr, bond between them |
|
Variable domains of alpha and beta chains |
Interact to make binding site in TCR |
|
On surface of nucleated cells |
Whete mhc i are found |
|
Surface of APCs: B cells, macrophages, DCs |
Where mhc ii are found |
|
Cd8+, cd4+ |
Class1/2: recognition |
