    Study Notes

    Adaptive Immunity

    • Adaptive immunity involves antigen presentation and Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules.
    • Essential for the immune system to respond to specific pathogens.

    Antigen Presentation

    • Antigen presentation occurs when an antigen is displayed on a cell's plasma membrane.
    • This process is crucial for T-lymphocytes to recognize and respond to the antigen.

    Types of Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs)

    • All nucleated cells and specialized antigen-presenting cells (APCs) present antigens to T-lymphocytes.
    • APCs include dendritic cells, macrophages, and B-lymphocytes.

    Mechanism of Antigen Presentation

    • Requires the physical attachment of antigens to transmembrane proteins.
    • MHC molecules are the transmembrane proteins crucial for antigen attachment.

    MHC Classifications

    • Two major MHC categories: MHC Class I (found on all nucleated cells) and MHC Class II (found on APCs and also MHC Class I).
    • MHC molecules are coded by a group of genes in plasma membranes.

    MHC Class I Characteristics

    • MHC Class I molecules are unique glycoproteins determined genetically.
    • They present randomly selected self-antigens, typically ignored by immune cells.

    Role of MHC During Infection

    • MHC Class I presents foreign antigens during infections, enabling communication with cytotoxic T-lymphocytes.
    • Proteins from viral particles are digested into peptide fragments, which are then processed by the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).

    Synthesis and Transport of MHC Class I

    • MHC Class I molecules are synthesized in the RER.
    • Foreign peptide fragments attach to MHC Class I during synthesis, indicating unhealthy cells.

    Transport Vesicles

    • Transport vesicles from the RER contain MHC Class I with bound viral peptides and are processed through the endomembrane system and Golgi apparatus to reach the plasma membrane.

    Fusion and Display

    • MHC Class I molecules with foreign antigens are displayed on the plasma membrane after fusion of secretory vesicles.
    • This process allows for the recognition of infected cells by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes.

    CD8 Interaction

    • CD8 specifically interacts with MHC Class I molecules, facilitating the immune response against infected or abnormal cells.
