《Immunology》Lecture 3:B Cell and Antibody Feng Zhang(Ph.D) Office:Biological BuildingRoom 402 Email:zhangfeng@imau.edu.cn
3.1 B Cell • Born in the bone marrow • 1 billion B cell per day per guy • Early stage: select gene coding 2 kinds of BCR proteins and relocate to B cell surface. • BCR v.s. Antibody • Very simillar • Antibody lack anchor sequence
3.1.1 BCR • Components: 2H + 2L • Gene localized on Chromosome 14
3.1.2 How BCRtransfer signal • Homologous /cognate antigen • Epitope
3.1.3 B Cell activation With Th help:
Without Th help: • Repeat epitopes BCR • Mitogens (error activation)
BCR crosslinking + ? activation • BCR crosslinking proliferation but no antibodies secreted! • Only with 2nd signal: from innate Immune sys (such as IFN- γ) • Other reason: T cell only recognize proteins, so with Th help, only for proteins, but not for other molecules like lipid or saccharides..
3.2.2 IgG • Subtype: IgG1, 2,3 • ADCC (antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity) • Neutralize virues • Penetrate blood-placenta barrier • Half life: about 3 weeks (v.s. IgM 1 day)
3.3 SOMATIC HYPERMUTATION • Normal: single base mutation rate: 1/100million • In V, D, J region: 1/1000 • Increase the high affinity to antigen- optimization! • Affinity mutation • Only for B cell activated by Th.
3.4 B CELLS MAKE A CAREER CHOICE Plasma cells are antibody factories. Memory B cells are not produced when B cells are activated without T cell help.
Questions • B cells are produced according to the principle of clonal selection. Exactly what does this mean? • 2. Describe what happens during T cell-dependent activation of B cells. • 3. Describe “fail-safe” systems that are involved in B cell activation. • 4. How can B cells be activated without T cell help? • 5. Why is T cell-independent activation of B cells important in defending us against certain pathogens? • 6. Describe the main attributes of IgM, IgG, IgA, and IgE antibodies. • 7. Why do class switching and somatic hypermutation produce B cells that are better able to defend against invaders? • 8. Why do most mast cells wait until their second exposure to an allergen before they degranulate? Hint: Think about the timing.
1, B细胞是通过克隆选择理论产生的,这是什么意思? • 2, 请详述T细胞依赖的B细胞活化。 • 3, 请详述在B细胞活化过程中的两个保险体系。 • 4, 请详述在没有T细胞辅助的情况下B细胞是如何被激活的。 • 5, 为什么非依赖T细胞的B细胞活化对于我们防御特定病原体是如此重要? • 6, 详述IgM、IgG和IgA的主要作用。 • 7, 为什么经过类型转换和体细胞高突变产生的B细胞可以更好地防御入侵者?
