CDR1 and CDR2 regions are encoded by the V-gene The CDR3 of L-chain is encoded by V and J The CDR3 of H-cain is encoded by V, D and J genes
Hypervariable loops and framework: Summary • The framework supports the hypervariable loops • The framework forms a compact b barrel/sandwich with a hydrophobic core • The hypervariable loops join, and are more flexible than, the b strands • The sequences of the hypervariable loops are highly variable amongst antibodies of different specificities • The variable sequences of the hypervariable loops influences the shape, hydrophobicity and charge at the tip of the antibody • Variable amino acid sequence in the hypervariable loops accounts for the diversity of antigens that can be recognised by a repertoire of antibodies
B – CELL ACTIVATION Where and how do all these things take place?
B cells in blood T cell area B cell area Efferent lymph B-cell recycling in the absence of antigen (lymph node)
B cells proliferate rapidly B cells leave blood & enter lymph node via high endothelial venules Antigen enters node in afferent lymphatic Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Germinal centre releases B cells that differentiate into plasma cells Y Y Y Y GERMINAL CENTRE Transient structure of Intense proliferation Recirculating B cells are trapped by foreign antigens in lymphoid organs

The structure of the germinal centre Somatic hypermutation LZ FDC DZ Somatic hypermutation LZ: light zone DZ: dark zone FDC: follicular dendritic cell
Antigen is bound on the surface of follicular dendritic cells (FDC) FDC FDC-s bind immune complexes (Ag-Ab ) Ag detectable for 12 months following immunization A single cell binds various antigens Fig. 9.15. On the surface of FDC-s immune complexes form the so-called iccosomes,that can be released and taken up later by the surrounding germinal center B cells B cells recognize Ag on the surface of FDC
