recognition
B cell receptors bind to antigen, take in and digest antigen, then display epitopes on its MHC-II protein
-After costimulation by Th cell, divide repeatedly, differentiate into plasma cells, produce antibodies specific to that antigens atibodies
Attack
antibodies bind to antigen, render it harmless, "tag it" for destruction
antigens bind
t specific complementary receptors
Th cells bind
to antigen presented on surface of B-Cell and releases interlukens
plasma cells full of
rough ER
Humoral Immunity Process
present > check >D.check >clone >turn into plasma or memory cells
difference between humoral and cellular
in humoral you dont need a macrophage, the B cell does it on its own.
in humoral
the end cell just releases a protein, the cell itself doesnt do anything
antibody structure
stem region-doesnt change
light/heavy chain changes through every protein
antibody diversity
-immune system capable of as many as 1 Trillion different antibodies
somatic recombination
DNA segments shuffled and form new combinations of base sequences to produce antobody genes
somatic hypermutation
B cells in lymph nodules rapidly mutate creating new sequence
humoral immunity
ATTACK
Neutrolization
compliment fixation
agglutination
precipitation
neutrolization
antibodies mask pathogenic region at antigen
compliment fixation
antigens bond to LgM or lgG, antibody changes shape, initiate complement binding; primary defense against foreign cells, bacteria
Agglutination
Antibody has 2-10 binding sites, binds to multiple enemy cells, immobilizing them
Precipitation
antibody binds antigen molecules (not cells) : create antigen-antibody complex that precipitates, phagocytized by eusonophils
