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
what recognizes surface markers
monoclonal antibodies
what does CD3 used for
TCR signalling complex (all t cells)
what does CD4 use for
co stimulator (all TH)
what does CD20 use for
unknown function (all B cells)
what does CD8 used for
co stimulator (all CTL)
what is a TCR signalling complex
CD3
what is used in the detection of surface markers
FAC/Flow Cytometry
what occurs in flow cytometry/FAC
MoAb against a surface marker is conjugated w/ a fluorescent molecule (fluorescent antibody)

the fluorescent tag will fluoresce when light shined on it
what are the properties of primary lymphoid tissues
example: bone marrow/thymus
no antigen contact here
TCR/Ig rearrangement in lymphocytes occurs here
what are mature lymphocytes
lymphocytes that leave primary lymphoid tissues THEY ARE STILL NAIVE B/C NO ANTIGEN CONTACT
what are the properties of secondary lymphoid tissues
antigen contact btwn dendrite cells and naive lymphocyes

positioned in right place to receive antigen
what is the primary activator of lymphocytes
dendritic cells
what does interstitial fluid drain into
lymphatic system
what is lymph
fluid
what does lymph drain into
into circulation via thoracic duct
what is the movement of leukocytes in circulation etc
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
to the area where they first encountered antigen
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)
what does e-selectin do
e-selectin in on the endothelium

e-selectin grabs to Mucin like CAM
what does Interleukin 8 do (IL-8)
IL-8 is a chemokine secreted by the endothelium that causes a conformational change of the integrin on the lymphocyte surface
WHAT IS A NEUTROPHIL ACTIVATOR AND ACTTRACTOR
IL-8
what does a conformational change do to integrin
it allows integrin to grab onto ICAM on the endothelium
what causes a complete stop to the rolling of the lymphocyte
interaction of ICAM and Integrin
where are stem cells located
bone marrow
what are hte encapsulated lymph nodes
spleen
lymph node
what is the unencapsulated lymph nodes
MALT
the afferent lymph goes where
lymph node carrying dendritic cells w/ the processed antigen to be presented to TH

OR

antigen that will enter the lymph node and bind to B cells
what activates B cells
interaction w/ antigen and TH
there efferent lymp goes where
from the lymph node to circulation carrying antibodies and lymphocytes
what is found in EVERY 2ndary area
follicles
what do primary follicles contain
resting B cells
what do secondary follicles contain and where are they located
the core of 2ndary follicles contain large number of proliferating B cells and the germinal center
where are germinal centers
in secondary follicles
what are the properties of germinal centers
contain core of proliferating B cells

contain Follicular dendritic cells which display antigens to B cells
is the FDC antigen presenting cells
no because they don't internalize the antigen and only present it on the surface (antigen not bound to MHC)
where do plasma cells and memory cells form
germinal centers
what do primary B blasts enter
they enter germinal centers and exist as plasma cells and memory B cells
where are B and T cells segregated and why
B cells and T cells are segregated in secondary follicles to insure that T cells only interact with the proper antigen presenting cell (dendrites)
what do dendritic cells coming from periphery have access to
T cells
what do B cells have access to
follicular dendritic cells and antigen
where do activated B and T cells interact
at the edge of follicles
how does a primary follicle become a secondary follicle
when an antigen is present
what are the properties of the spleen
contains segregated B and T cell areas

HAS PRIMARY AND SECONDARY FOLLICLES
where are B cell areas/T cell areas/ 1 and 2 follicles
in the encapsulated lymph nodes
what handles antigen coming from the blood
spleen
what handles antigen comming from tissue
lymph node
what handles antigen comming from mucuous membranes (GI/respiratory tract)
MALT
what disease causes spleenomegaly anemia
when a person has spherocytosis and the spleen is unable to filter those RBC due to their size
what occurs when a person spleen is removed
w/o the spleen the person is succeptible to overwhelming post spleenotomy infection (OPSI) a septemic infection b/c spleen not there to filter antigens from blood

this occurs in people w/ spleenomegally b/c their spleens must be removed
what does MALT stand for
mucous associated lymphoid tissue
