II. B cell signaling
BCR and TCR share conserved signaling elements
Differences in signal initiation
III. T cell development
MHC molecule expression by cell type Professional APCs Discussed MHCII expression in professional APCs previously in the context of initiating adaptive responses to pathogenic infections. Now, focus on MHCII expression and function in thymic epithelial cells – this enables the presentation of self antigen during T cell maturation in order to select against autoreactive TCR clones.
