Presentation Transcript

  1. Quiz two will be on Tuesday November 23rd MHC class 2 molecules and T lymphocyte Help Immunology lecture 20 November 18th 2010

  2. Peptides in MHC2 can slide across binding region to fit.

  3. So how do peptides get into MHC1 and MHC2 class molecules? • Class 1 molecules use the Endogenous pathway. • Class 2 molecules use the Exogenous pathway.

  4. No infection on a normal day…..

  5. CD8+T cell murdered cell

  6. Third method of Cytotoxic T cell killing

  7. cytotoxic T cell tumor cell

  8. First method of cytotoxic T cell killing of target cells

  9. MHC 2 molecules on surface • Everyday MHC 2 molecules produced and transported to the membrane of antigen presenting cells. • What does this look like on a good day when there is no infection …..

  10. B cell, Macrophage Dendritic cell not in the presence of antigen.

  11. What if B cells binds antigen ?What if dendritic cell pinocytoses antigen ?What if macrophage phagocytosis antigen ? Antigen is internalized, processed and presented on the surface of the cell bound to MHC 2 molecules and can be recognized only by CD 4+ T helper cells

  12. B- lymphocyte as a antigen presenting cell 1ST 2nd

  13. Dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes.

  14. While in RER, MHC2 being made

  15. While in the cell, antigen is being internalized

  16. T cells are MHC restricted. They only help or kill cells with whom they share MHC. Zinkernagel 1994

  17. Helper T cells are also MHC restricted .

  18. This work indicated that T cells recognize both MHC and specific antigen fragments. Does one receptor recognize the MHC and another receptor recognize the antigen fragment embedded in the binding site on the MHC ? Or is there one receptor with specificity for MHC in combination with a specific antigen fragment ?

  19. Dual Receptor Theory

  20. Experiment demonstrating the thymus selects this MHC specificity.

  21. T cell differentiation in the thymus

  22. T cell differentiation :How to explain MHC restriction and double the number of T helper cells compared to cytotoxic cells.
