Immune System B cells T cells
B Cell: humoral or antibody mediated immunityANTIBODIES=IMMUNOGLOBULINS • Humoral Immunity • Matures in bone marrow • Moves to lymph nodes (& other locations) • Secretes antibodies “as plasma cell” • Also creates “memory” B cells B-lymphocyte
Different classes of immunoglobulins or antibodies IgA IgM IgG IgE IgD
Antibody Diversity • How do we acquire so many different types of antibodies? • Somatic recombination • Junctional diversity • hypermutations
V J C Antibody genes are composed of segments
Somatic Recombination • http://www.bio.davidson.edu/courses/Immunology/Flash/somaticrecomb.html
How are vaccinations related to immunity? Active and Passive
Active Vaccinations: AntibodyProduction Memory Cells!
Onto T Cells The next part gets tricky

T Cells These are some of the General characteristics of the T Cell receptor for antigen recognition. VJC (D) + D in the beta chain
Cytotoxic T Cell and MHC I Antigen presentation CD8+ cell
Tissue Transplantation • MHC proteins differ between individuals
The major histocompatibility complex • is a large group of genes on chromosome 6
Helper T Cell and MHC II Antigen presentation
B lymphocytes source of antibodies Overview of T lymphocytes
