Midterm 2
Across
- 6. released by Th cells to control killer T cells and create memory killer T cells
- 7. V, D, J, and C are involved in a gene rearrangement that makes up this chain
- 8. catalyzes CLIP release and competes against other peptides for the binding site of the class II MHC molecule
- 10. BCRs, TCRs, and antibodies attach to here on the antigen
- 11. most abundant antibody on mucous surfaces
- 12. 95% of TCRs are of this type
- 13. a process that BCRs undergo to increase affinity maturation for their cognate antigen (requires Th cell help)
- 15. involved in anaphylactic shock by degranulating mast cells
- 16. cell that provides class I and II MHC molecules along with co-stimulation to immune cells
- 18. class II MHC proteins present __ peptides
- 19. a mechanism changes the antibody production of a B cell when it is activated
- 21. is part of the ADCC mechanism
- 23. activated by TNF, killed cell chemicals, and/or PRRs (TLRs)
- 25. in charge of transporting peptides to class I MHC molecules
- 27. BCRs become __ to produce an activation signal because it clusters IG-alpha and IG-beta together
- 29. class I MHC proteins present __ peptides
Down
- 1. an exception to what class I MHC proteins typically present for antigens
- 2. restimulates T cells once they arrive during an infection
- 3. when an antigen binds on non-BCRs to cluster them along (and consequently BCRs as well); allows parasites to "distract" the immune system
- 4. the chain that prevents certain peptides from binding to the class II MHC molecule as it's being made
- 5. a complex in the cell membrane that moves the signal from the TCR outside to inside the cell's nucleus
- 6. TCRs on a mature T-cell are __
- 9. dendritic cells and Th cells first bind together with adhesion molecules to form an __
- 11. T-cell activation that involves danger signals in the environment
- 14. concentrates antigens for presentation
- 17. B or T cells that have not been activated are called __
- 20. the "1st antibody" that can fix complement proteins
- 22. CTLs express __ to clip to class I MHC molecules
- 24. Th cells express __ to clip to class II MHC molecules
- 26. the type of B-cell that cannot be produced in T-cell independent activation
- 27. the receptor on the T-cell that the B7 protein from the APC binds to
- 28. the type of arrangement for a full-length heavy chain protein
