Term
The antigen binding site of and antibody is the most variable region of the antibody ..true or false
Definition
true
Term
What determins and antibody's class?
Definition
Heavy chains
Term
B cell receptor complex includes the membrane bound form of the B cell's antibody in association with what?
Definition
Ig alpha / Ig beta heterodimer
Term
T cell receptor is a heterodimer made up of alpha/ beta or gamma / delta proteins in association with the what?
Definition
CD 3 region
Term
cytokines are a category of __
Definition
messenger molecules
Term
chemokines are a spcials type of _____ that direct migrations of WBC. the cause movement...
Definition
Term
Only chemokines can control the _____of leokocytes
Definition
chemotaxis.. movement
Term
what kind of bonds are important in receptor and ligand interactions?
Definition
multiple noncovalent bonds
Term
T cells use the____to bind peptides presented by MHC proteins on APCs.
Definition
αβ TCR
Term
Formation of a TCR–pMHC complex initiates _____
Definition
T cell signaling
Term
Mechanical forces augment T cell signaling in a manner that is dependent upon the association of the ___ subunits with the TCR
Definition
CD3
Term
Systemic bacterial infection is rapidly recognized as an emergency state leading to ________within the bone marrow
Definition
neutrophil release into the circulation and increased myeloid cell production
Term
TCRs recognize antigens presented by MHC. That triggers the formation of multi-molecular signalosomes that lead to the generation of second messengers and subsequent activation of multiple distal signaling cascades
Ca+2-calcineurin-NFAT = NFAT
RasGRP1-Ras-Erk1/2 = AP-1
PKCθ-IKK-NFκB = NFκB
TSC1/2-mTOR pathways. These signaling cascades control many aspects of T cell biology.
Definition
Remember
Ca+2-calcineurin-NFAT = NFAT
RasGRP1-Ras-Erk1/2 = AP-1
PKCθ-IKK-NFκB = NFκB
Term
In the peripheral lymphoid organs and tissues, naïve T cells are activated upon TCR engagement with foreign peptides presented by _____in response to pathogenic infection
Definition
dendritic cells and other antigen-presenting cells such as B cells and macrophages
Term
TCR complex is composed of TCRα and β, and the CD3 proteins ...TCRαβ dimer is responsible for recognition of peptide-MHC complexes ..
CD3 proteins, consisting of δ, ε, γ and ζ chains, associate with TCR via _____________
Definition
hydrophobic interaction
Term
Unlike TCRα and β chains, CD3 proteins are not directly involved in antigen recognition, but their cytosolic domains contain the ________ that are responsible for transmitting the TCR signal
Definition
immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs)
Term
Engagement of TCR triggers ITAM phosphorylation at the __ residues by
Src-family protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs),
leading to the formation of a proximal signaling complex and activation of downstream signaling events
Definition
tyrosine
Term
Cytosolic PTKs, such as the Src-family PTKs, Lck and Fyn, and the Syk-family kinase ζ-associated protein of 70 ZAP-70, are activated by ____
Definition
TCR ligation
Term
Lck activation triggers the phosphorylation of ITAMs of ___proteins
Definition
CD3
Term
Phosphorylated ___ form docking sites for several PTKs and other proteins
Definition
ITAMs
Term
The phosphorylation of ___ at ζ chain recruits ZAP-70 via its SH2 domains, which specifically bind to phospho-tyrosine residues on ITAMs
Definition
ITAMs
Term
Direct association of ZAP-70 with the activated TCR/CD3 complex results in phosphorylation/activation of other proteins and recruitment of ___, leading to the formation of signaling complex
Definition
adaptors
Term
Several studies have identified the primary role of ___phosphorylation in the regulation of phospho lipase C γ1 (PLCγ1) activation, cytosolic Ca+2 influx, and activation of distal signaling pathways, such as NFAT, AP-1 and NF-κB
Definition
ZAP-70
Term
_____kinases (MAPs) ERK1 and ERK2 are activated upon stimulation
Definition
mitogen-activated protein
Term
The induction of ___immunity is dependent on the processing and presentation of antigen on MHC class I molecules by professional antigen presenting cells (APC).
Definition
CD8 T cellS
