Concept: B and T lymphocytes respond to Ag separately and migrate into proximity through the action of chemokines, then physically interact.

Can we visualize this in a REAL situation? YES! DC can also display Ag to B cells B cells express TLRs T cells: CD28, CD40L B cells: B7-1/2, CD40

Gunzer, et al. Blood 104: 2801 Transgenic mouse expressing Added immunoglobulin genes: Because of allelic exclusion, the endogenous Ig genes do no rearrange. As a consequence, the mouse produces only 1 type of immunoglobulin. PROVIDES WHAT A SCIENTIST NEEDS--EXPERIMENTAL CONTROL. Normally only 1 in 10 4 -10 5 B cells recognize a specific antigen

Concept: B and T lymphocytes respond to Ag separately and migrate into proximity by the action of secreted chemokines, then physically interact. “The Hapten-Carrier Effect” --Exemplar: 2,4-Dinitrophenol Haptens ONLY generate responses when coupled to large carriers Generation of secondary/memory responses: The animal must be immunized with the same carrier conjugate (the carrier effect). Memory T cells: to the CARRIER Memory B cells: the the HAPTEN

Neutralization of microbes and their toxins Figure 10.26, 10.27 Hepatitis C virus coated with neutralizing antibodies (green) Prevent microorganisms and their toxic products from binding to host cells Requires only antigen- binding (V) region of the antibody (i.e., passive mechanism) Neutralizing activity can be mediated by any secreted antibody isotype

46
Antibody-mediated opsonization and phagocytosis of microorganisms Phagocytes bind to microbes coated with specific antibodies. IgG is particularly good at this. IgG binding enhances phagocytosis and killing. The process of coating microbes with IgG to enhance phagocytosis and bacterial killing is called opsonization. IgG is bound by Fc RI, expressed on different phagocytes. Fc: crystallizable fragment, : IgG, R1: receptor 1 (Fc RI=CD64).

1.IgE Structure a) Like IgM, has an extra C H 4 domain in the constant region. b) Binds Fc RI with very high affinity. 2.IgE Properties a) IgE does not fix complement. b) The least common serum Ig because it binds tightly to Fc receptors on basophils and mast cells in tissue even before interacting with antigen. c) IgE plays a role in parasitic helminth diseases. Since serum IgE levels rise in parasitic diseases, measuring IgE levels is helpful in diagnosing parasitic infections. Binding of eosinophils to IgE-coated helminths results in killing of the parasite. d) As a consequence of its binding to basophils and mast cells, IgE is also involved in allergic reactions. Binding of the allergen to the IgE on the cells results in the release of mediators (such as histamine) that result in allergic symptoms.
