T-Cell Recognition of Peptide Antigen through MHC-peptide complex
Summary of MHC • MHC-I consist of an alpha chain and beta-2 microglobulin and present endogenous peptides to T lymphocytes, which are processed by the cytosolic pathway in APC. • MHC-II have alpha and beta chains and present to T cells exogenous peptides processed by the endocytic pathway. • Non-classical MHC are involved in antigen processing, presentation and tolerance induction. • Minor H antigens are genetic variants of peptides presented by MHC to T cells and cause graft rejection and graft versus host reaction. • HLA has an association with autoimmune disease due to its capacity of altering antigen presentation and clearance, lympocyte activation and tolerance induction.
Summary of Today’s lecture • Adaptive immune system • Comparison between innate and adaptive immune system • Relevant cells and related molecules
