How do Immature B cell become mature B
cells?
-
what type of antigens activate B cells?
-
What are the antigens recognized by
B cells and other lymphocytes?
-
Thymus dependent
- 1.(Td): protein antigen requires help from TH cells
- TD antigens are proteins and recognized in conjunction with MHC molecules
B cells response to TD antigen requires direct contact with TH cells
-
Thymus independentactivation
- 2.(Ti): does not require T cell help or thymus
- •Act by extensive cross linking of antigens
-
what are the 3 major differences in response to Ti antigen
1.Response weaker
2.No isotype switch so only IgM formed
3.No memory cells formed
-
what are the Subset of B cells
- Follicular B cells
- Marginal zone B cells
- B-1 B cells
-
what kinds of B cell u can find in Spleen and other lymphoid organs?
Follicular and marginal B cells
-
what kinds of B cell u can find in mucosal tissue, peritoneal cavity?
B-1 B cells
-
Follicular B cells are:
•reside in the follicles of lymphoid organs make the bulk of T dependent, class switched, high affinity antibodies to protein antigens
protein antigen + TH cell
-
Marginal zone B cells are:
•cells located in the marginal zones of splenic white pulp respond to blood borne polysacharide antigen; predominantly IgM
- polysaccharides, lipid, ...
-
B-1 B cells are:
•respond to non protein antigen in the mucosal tissue and peritoneum; Ig M
- polysaccharides, lipid, ...
