Content preview

affinity maturation


Give this one a try later!


the increase in affinity for their specific antigen of the antibodies produced
as the response progresses




commensal bacteria


Give this one a try later!


microorganisms that normal live harmlessly in symbiosis with their host,
conferring some sort of positive benefit

,antibody classes


Give this one a try later!


IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE




Fc receptors (FcR)


Give this one a try later!


-a type of cell-surface receptor on macrophages and other cells in the
immune system
-binds the Fc portions of immunoglobulins
-different types for each isotype
-binding triggers phagocytosis or release of granules




combinatorial diversity V(D)J recombination


Give this one a try later!


-the process (exclusive to developing lymphocytes in vertebrates) that
recombines different gene segments into sequences encoding complete
protein chains of immunoglobulins
-multiple contiguous V gene segments are present at each Ig locus;
randomly select just 1 of each type = great diversity
V = variable gene segment
D = diversity gene segment
J = joining gene segment

,T cell receptor (TCR)


Give this one a try later!


the cell-surface receptor for antigens an T cells
-consists of a disulfide-linked heterodimer of the highly
variable α and β in a complex with the invariant CD3 and ζ
on a subset of T cells
-only cell bound
-2 different type: gamma-delta cell (TCR1) and alpha-beta
cell (majority)




ubiquitin ligase


Give this one a try later!


an enzyme that attaches ubiquitin covalently to the surface of other
proteins




polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs)


Give this one a try later!


white blood cells with multi-lobed nuclei and cytoplasmic granules
-composed of: neutrophils, basophils, and cytoplasmic granules




affinity

, Give this one a try later!


the strength of binding of one molecule to another single site




V(D)J recombinase coding and signal end modifications


Give this one a try later!


Coding end:
i. binding of repair proteins Ku70:Ku80
ii. DNA PK-Artemis complex join and open hairpin (endonuclease activity)
at random site
iii. repair by TdT/exonuclease: junctional diversity
iv. 2 coding ends are ligated by DNA ligase/XRCC4


Signal end: no modifications of ends, ligation by DNA ligase/XRCC4




G-protein coupled receptors


Give this one a try later!


-increase bacterial degradation during phagocytosis
-part of a large class of cell surface receptors that associate with
intracellular heterotimeric G proteins after ligand binding
-generate an intracellular signal by activation of the G protein
-all are seven-span transmembrane proteins




extravasation


Give this one a try later!
