Summary Lines of Defense
Immune System B cells T cells
Lymph nodes are contain high concentrations lymphocytes
Let’s now look at the specific lymphocytes that reside in these nodes.
B Cell Humoral Immunity Humoral Immunity –Antibody Mediated
The Antibody
Antibody Diversity How do we acquire so many different types of antibodies? How do we acquire so many different types of antibodies? –Somatic recombination –Junctional diversity –hypermutations

Cytotoxic T cell= CD8+
The major histocompatibility complex is a large group of genes on chromosome 6 is a large group of genes on chromosome 6
Tissue Transplantation MHC proteins differ between individuals MHC proteins differ between individuals
2 types of MHC MHC I MHC I MHC II MHC II CD8+ cells recognizes endogenous antigens CD8+ cells recognizes endogenous antigens CD4+ cells recognizes exogenous antigens CD4+ cells recognizes exogenous antigens
