antigen-presenting cell, APC Concept A group of immune cells, whose role is to take up, process and present antigenic peptides to T cells.
Professional APC • Macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells, which can express MHC class II molecules. • Non-professional APC • Other cell type capable of expressing MHC class II molecules eg. Endothelial cells, EC Fibroblasts Activated T cell
1 Dendritic cell,DC • highly branched morphology • can active naive T cells • markers
1) Markers • CD1a, CD11c, CD83 • Pathogen receptor, FcR • MHC II • co-stimulating factors (CD80,CD86) • Adhesion molecular CD40 • CD54 (ICAM-1), etc. • secreting cytokines • IL1, IL-6, IL-12, TNF-a, IFN-a, chemokines
2) Source, distribution and classification • Source DC are bone marrow-derived • Myeloid DC • Lymphoid DC
Bone marrow Blood Tissue Dendritic cell Blood dendritic cell ? Pluripotent stem cell Mycloid precursor Monocyte Indeterminate cell Macrphage
Distribution and classification DCs are found in many organs throughout the body • DC in lymphoid tissue • Interdigitating cell, IDC • Follicular DC, FDC • thymic dendritic cell, TDC • DC not in lymphoid tissue • Langerhans cells • Interstitial DC • DC in body fluid • Veiled cells • Peripheral blood DC
interdigitating DC, IDC IDC express high levels of MHC molecules, and are more potent antigen-presenting cells than others.
FDC B cells follicular DC, FDC FDC express high levels of membrane receptors for antibody and complement. By these, FDC actives the B cells in lymph nodes.
Langerhan’s cells, LC Langerhans cells found in the epidermis (skin) and mucous membranes (left), expressing high levels of FcR, receptor of complement, and MHC.Birbeck granule is the characteristic organelle. After capturing antigen in the tissues by phagocytosis or by endocytosis. DC migrate into the blood or lymph and circulate to lymphoid organs, become IDC(right)。

3) Differentiation, development, maturing and migration • Lymphoid DC • DC in lymph, negative selection of T cells • myeloid DC • Immature • mature
Four phases • Pre-DC • Monocyte, Mo • Immature DC • Uptake antigen • Express MHC • Secrete chemokines • Migration • Mature DC • Express high levels of MHC I and II, CD80, CD86, CD40, CD54, HSP, etc.
4) activation and tolerance • Activation • First signal (MHC-peptide) • Second signal (co-stimulating factors) • Adhesion molecular • Cytokines (IL-12) • Tolerance • Negative selection
2 Mononuclear phagocyte system, MPS Macrophages (Mf) are phagocytic cells of monocytic lineage residing within tissues and are particularly well equipped for effective antigen presentation.
Different names in different tissues • Monocyte ( blood ) • Kupffer cells ( liver ) • Mesangial cells ( kidney glomerulus ) • Microglia ( brain ) • Alveolar macrophages ( lung ) • Histiocyte ( connective tissue )

markers • MHC II • CR1(CD35) • CR3(CD11b/CD18) • IgG Fc受体 • Functions • Receptors • Enzymes • Cytokines

3 B cellbone marrow-dependent lymphocyte About 5-15% of the circulating lymphoid pool are B cells difined by the presence of surface immunoglobulin.
Characteristics of B cells • not actively phagocytic • Class II-positive • BCR
Binding and uptake of antigen • depends on the physical state of the antigen and the cell type involved. • Antigen processing • MHC class I processing pathway • MHC class II processing pathway • Antigen presentation
1 Binding and uptake of antigen • exogenous antigens • Bacteria, cells and soluble proteins • processed by APC • endogenous antigens • Produced within the cells, Such as viral proteins or tumor proteins • processed by host cell
Uptake antigen by immature DC • Pinocytosis • Liquid or small granule • Receptor-mediated endocytosis • effective • selective • saturated • FCR, 甘露糖R • Phagocytosis • Large molecular or microbe
Uptake antigen by MPC • Phagocytosis • Large solid or molecular complex, such as bacteria, fragment of cells, etc. • Phagecyte (mf, granulocyte) • Pinocytosis • Receptor-mediated pinocytosis • Endocytosis • Low levels of particulate or soluble antigens • exocytosis
Uptake antigen by B cells • nonspecifically engulfed • BCR-mediated
2 Antigen processing • Degradation of externally- or internally- derived antigen into short peptide sequences • Association of the peptide with MHC molecules
MHC class I processing pathway Antigenic protein proteosome peptide fragment released into cytosol binds to TAP protein moves to endoplasmic reticulum(ER) Newly synthesized Class I a chain and b2 microglobulin move to ER calnexin binds to a chain peptide fragment and b2m bind to a chain release of a chain from calnexin complex moves to Golgi apparatus glycosylation in Golgi apparatus secretory vesicle plasma membrane
proteasome • LMP, low molecular weight polypeptide or large multifunctional protease • Structure: • 20S 26S • Function: • Degradation of protein
TAP, transporter associated with antigen processing • structure: • TAP-1 and TAP-2 • function: • transports small peptides (8-13 aa) to the ER
calnexin • Structure • 88kD integral ER membrane chaperone protein • Function • Binds to a nascent MHC class I a chain after release from a ribosome into the ER lumen so that the a chain will not leave the ER until it binds both a short peptide sequence and b2 microgobulin
