PROCESSING AND PRESENTATION
OF PROTEIN ANTIGENS Antigen processing peptide derivation out of native proteins Antigen presentation Displaying peptides in complex with self MHC on the cell surface
33
Features of antigens recognized by T lymphocytes
Protein antigens 2. Linear determinantes 3. On the cell surface within own MHC
34
Two pathways of antigen processing and presentation
MHC class I pathway MHC class II pathway
35
COMMON FEATURES OF BOTH PATHWAY OF ANTIGEN PROCESSING AND PRESENTATION
peptide antigens are formed by proteolytic cleavage in the APC’s organelles peptide binding to MHC occurs before they appear on the cell surface organelles and enzymes of general protein metabolism are used no distinction of foreign from self proteins
42
MHC class II pathway
44
1. Human MHC class I molecules are a. MHC class I 2. Human MHC class II molecules are b. CD8+ T-lymphocytes 3. Processing and presentation of antigens is necessary for c. HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C 4. Exogenous antigens that enter the cell by endocytosis are presented within d. CD4+ T-lymphocytes 5. Endogenously synthesized (within the cell) antigens are presented in e. dendritic cells, macrophages and B lymphocytes 6. Peptides derived from endogenous proteins that form the complex with MHC class I are formed in f. MHC class II 7. MHC class I presents the peptides to g. recognition by T lymphocytes 8. MHC class II presents the peptides to h. all nucleated cells 9. MHC class I molecules are expressed on i. proteasome 10. MHC class II molecules are expressed on j. HLA-DR, HLA-DP, HLA-DQ 1.____ c 2.____ j 3.____ g 4.____ f 5.____ a 6.____ i 7.____ b 8.____ d 9.____ h 10.____ e
