Exam 2 Review
Across
- 4. a protein on the surface of a target cell which, when ligated by a FasL protein on a killer cell, can instruct the target cell to commit suicide
- 8. activation of many B cells with different specificities
- 9. an area in the secondary lymphoid organ in which B cells proliferate, undergo somatic hypermutation, and switch classes
- 10. the region of the antigen that is recognized by a B or T cell's receptors
- 11. a synonym for positive selection. Survival in the thymus is restricted to T cells whose receptors recognize MHC-self antigen complexes
- 13. a process by which starved cells recycle their components
- 14. cluster together
- 15. a molecule that binds to a receptor
Down
- 1. synonym for central tolerance induction. The selection of T cells whose receptors do not recognize MHC-self peptide complexes in the thymus.\
- 2. a multi-protein complex in the cell that chops up proteins into small pieces
- 3. tiny tubes which transport antigen within lymph nodes
- 5. a cell that crowns a Peyer's patch, and which specializes in sampling antigen from the intestine
- 6. the process by which B cells in the bone marrow can draw again from the deck to try to make a BCR that is not self-reactive
- 7. an enzyme which CTLs and NK cells use to destroy their targets
- 8. a small molecule used by CTLs and NK cells to help destroy their targets
- 12. a small protein which occupies the binding groove of a class II MHC molecule until it is replaced by an exogenous peptide
