where does gene rearangement of Ig/TCR occur
|
in lymphocytes in primary lymphoid organs
|
|
when do lymphocytes see the antigen
|
lymphocytes after the rearangement of TCR/Ig travel to secondary lymphoid organs and this is where they see the antigen
|
|
where are the primary lymphoid organs
|
bone marrow and thymus
|
|
what occurs in 2ndary lymphoid organs/periphery tissue
|
dendrites phagocytosis the antigen
|
|
how do dendrites carry antigen
|
dendrites eat up the antigen in the peripheral organs (secondary lymphoid organs)
dendrites then carry the antigen to the lymph nodes in the lymphatic system dendrites then present the antigen to the naive lymphocytes (which undergoes proliferation) lymphocytes then traffic to where they are needed |
|

leukocytes enter inflammade tissue via HIGH WALL ENDOTHELIUM (HEV)
dendritic cells w/ processed antigen for T cells move to lymph node antigen can also move to lymph nodes on it own and make contact w/ B cells lymphocytes that have matured and encountered antigen go through thoracic duct into circulation while in circulation lymphocytes home to the site of infection/inflammation |

what are adressins
|
they are surface proteins on endothelium which bind to surface proteins on lymphocytes to attract them to the correct location
|
|
where do memory t cells home

|
how do lymphocytes transmigrate (from circulation through endothelial cells lining capillary into tissue)
|
inflammation/infection in tissues send signal into capillaries attracting lymphocytes
lymphocytes bind to adressins on surface of endothelium via L-selectin endothelium will secrete molecules (chemokines) that cause change in lymphocyte (activate LFA-1) making it adhere tighter once a tight adhesion has been made the lymphocyte flattens and goes through a space in the endothelium (ICAM 1/2 bind to LFA-1) |
