Study Notes

Complementary binding between Ag-Ab

  • Complementary binding between antigen (Ag) and antibody (Ab) limits the size of the epitope.
  • Typically, 6-7 amino acids (aa) or sugars can fit into the deep pocket structures of linear epitope binding sites.
  • Conformational epitopes of globular proteins cover a much greater space on flatter surface binding sites of Ab.

Conformational epitopes

  • Conformational epitopes may consist of 15-22 aa.
  • Complex proteins may contain multiple overlapping B-cell epitopes.
  • The size of the binding pocket determines how big the epitope can be.
  • This is why viruses can escape the immune response by changing just one aa in the epitope, as this can represent a 20% change in the surface of the binding site.

Immunodominance

  • The immune system (IS) will find one or two "favorite" binding sites, which will dominate the immune response.
  • These are called immunodominant epitopes and are usually located on the surface of the antigen, are flexible and the right size for binding.
  • Pathogens may exploit this by placing a very good epitope on their surface, which does not affect their function, in order to distract the IS from other important epitopes that are needed for function.

B-cell epitopes

  • B-cell epitopes can be almost anything: sugars, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, heavy metals.
  • For Ag in solution, epitopes must be:
    • Topographically accessible on the native molecular surface (hydrophilic)
    • Flexible and mobile for agglutination (often located on bends and loop structures of protein)
    • Sequential or nonsequential (conformational)

Adjuvants

  • Adjuvants are chemical compounds added to antigens to make them more immunogenic and appealing to the immune system.
  • They are not specific to a particular antigen and can be used to enhance immune responses to many different antigens.
  • Different adjuvants work through a variety of mechanisms, such as:
    • Stimulating immune response by activating innate immune cells, increasing antigen presentation, and providing costimulatory signals.
    • Prolonging exposure to the antigen by binding and precipitating the antigen, leading to slow release and increased phagocytosis.

Antigen structure and epitopes

  • Lymphocytes do not recognize the entire antigen, but rather small, discrete sites called epitopes.
  • B-cells and T-cells can see different epitopes on the same antigen.
  • There can be multiple epitopes on a single antigen, and these can overlap.
  • Even within the same immune response, an organism can produce multiple antibodies that recognize distinct parts of the same protein.

Example: HIV

  • HIV's GP120 protein is a large glycoprotein that is highly immunodominant.
  • However, most of this protein does not affect HIV's function, making it a decoy for the immune system.
  • This allows HIV to evade the immune system and continue infecting cells.

Antigens

  • Any molecule that can interact with an immunoglobulin (Ig) receptor of B-cells or the T-cell receptor complexed with MHC.
  • Not all antigens elicit an immune response, only immunogens.
  • Immunogens: A molecule that induces a specific immune response.

Immunogen Properties

  • Foreignness: Molecules must be seen as "non-self" for the immune system to react.
    • The greater the evolutionary distance between species, the higher the chance of generating an immune response.
    • Exceptions: Highly conserved molecules like collagen or cytochrome c may not be immunogenic even in distant species.
      • Some self-molecules, normally sequestered from the immune system, will raise an immune response (e.g., sperm or lens tissue).
  • Molecular Size: There is a correlation between the size of a molecule and its immunogenicity.
    • The best immunogens are in the range of 100,000 Da.
    • Small molecules (5-10,000 Da) are generally poor immunogens.
    • Molecules must be big enough to be processed by immune cells.
  • Chemical Heterogeneity: Size alone does not make a good immunogen.
    • Synthetic homopolymers (repeating units of the same monomer) are not immunogenic regardless of size.
    • Large co-polymers (different types of monomers) can be immunogenic and adding aromatic amino acids increases the chance.
    • Proteins with more complexity in their primary structure and showing secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure increase immunogenicity.

Epitopes

  • Lymphocytes (B-cells and T-cells) recognize small, discrete sites on macromolecules called antigenic determinants or epitopes.
  • Epitopes seen by B-cells and T-cells differ in several fundamental ways.
  • Not all epitopes are created equal.
    • Some epitopes are immunodominant, meaning they are the most effective at eliciting an immune response.
    • Pathogens often evolve to display immunodominant epitopes that do not affect their function, allowing them to evade the immune system.
  • Epitope Size is defined by the binding site of the antibody.
    • Agretope: Part of an antigen that binds to the MHC molecule.
    • Epitope: Part of an antigen that is recognized by the T-cell receptor.
  • B-cell epitopes can recognize a vast array of molecules, including proteins, sugars, lipids, nucleic acids, and even heavy metals.
  • B-cell epitopes must be accessible on the native molecular surface, flexible, and mobile for agglutination.
  • B-cell epitopes can be sequential (linear) or nonsequential (conformational).
  • T-cell epitopes are primarily seen by T-cells as short peptides presented by MHC molecules. They are typically internal, linear, and amphipathic (having both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions).

B-cells vs. T-cells

  • B-cells recognize antigens directly using their surface immunoglobulins (Ig).
  • B-cells can recognize soluble antigens.
  • T-cells recognize antigens only when presented by MHC molecules.
  • T-cells are restricted to recognizing peptides presented by MHC molecules.
  • B-cells recognize any molecule with a 3D shape, including proteins, sugars, lipids, and nucleic acids.
  • T-cells can only directly recognize proteins and typically only as peptides presented by MHC molecules.
  • B-cell epitopes are often on the surface of proteins, while T-cell epitopes require processing and presentation by MHC molecules.

Immunogenicity and Antigenicity

  • Antigenicity refers to the ability of a molecule to bind to an antibody or T-cell receptor.
  • Immunogenicity refers to the ability of a molecule to elicit an immune response.
  • All immunogens are antigens, but not all antigens are immunogens.
  • The immune system is not designed to react to everything, only to those molecules that are considered threats.
  • Immunogens are a subset of antigens that trigger a specific immune response.

Antigens

  • Any molecule that can specifically interact with the immunoglobulin (Ig) receptor of B-cells (or the T-cell receptor complexed with MHC)
  • Not all molecules induce immunity, only immunogens

Immunogens

  • Any molecule that induces a specific immune response
  • All immunogens are antigens. Not all antigens are immunogens

Flagellin

  • Can act as a PAMP (Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern) when recognized by TLR
  • Can act as an Antigen detected by antibodies in a Western blot
  • Acts as an Immunogen when injected and triggers an immune response in vivo

What Makes a Good Immunogen?

  • Humoral Immunogens (B-cells): Proteins >> Polysaccharides >> Lipids or Nucleic Acids
  • Cell Mediated Immunogens (T-cells): Proteins, some lipids, some glycolipids

Adjuvants

  • Activate the immune system
  • Enhance phagocytosis
  • Can be used to improve the effectiveness of vaccines

Antigens - Epitopes

  • Lymphocytes recognize small, discrete sites on macromolecules called antigenic determinants or epitopes
  • Epitopes seen by B-cells and T-cells differ in fundamental ways

Immunodominant Epitopes

  • Some epitopes are better recognized and elicit a stronger immune response
  • These are known as immunodominant epitopes
  • Pathogens can intentionally display immunodominant epitopes that are not important for their function

Examples of Immunodominant Epitopes

  • HIV GP 120: B cells love it, but it doesn't actually impede HIV's function
  • The stem of GP120 is the important part for infection, but it is often ignored by the immune system

Multiple Epitopes

  • Each antigen can have multiple epitopes
  • Different antibodies can recognize different epitopes on the same antigen
  • Epitopes can be overlapping

B-Cell Epitopes

  • B-cells recognize proteins, sugars, nucleic acids, and heavy metals
  • Epitopes must be topographically accessible on the native molecular surface
  • Epitopes must be flexible and mobile
  • Epitopes can be sequential or nonsequential (conformational)

T-Cell Epitopes

  • T-cells recognize peptides presented on MHC molecules
  • Must be amphipathic, containing both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions
  • The binding site of the Ag on MHC is called the Agretope
  • The TCR binding site is called the Epitope

MHC Class I vs. MHC Class II

  • MHC Class I (9-11 amino acids): Present on all cells, shows the immune system what's going on inside the cell (viruses, cancer)
  • MHC Class II (11-17 amino acids): Present on antigen-presenting cells like macrophages, shows the immune system what's happening in the outside world

Comparison of B-Cell and T-Cell Epitopes

Feature B-cells T-cells
Antigen interaction Membrane Ig and antigen Membrane TCR, antigen, MHC
Soluble Antigen? Yes No
Additional molecules required No MHC, CD4/CD8
Chemical nature of antigen Protein, lipid, polysaccharide, nucleic acid Protein
Epitopes Accessible, hydrophilic, mobile, sequential or conformational Accessible or internal, linear, amphipathic

Antigens

  • Any molecule that can specifically interact with immunoglobulin (Ig) receptors on B cells or the T cell receptor complexed with MHC.
  • Not all antigens induce immunity.
  • Immunogens are antigens that induce a specific immune response.

Immunogens

  • Molecules that elicit a specific immune response.
  • Must be "non-self" or foreign to induce an immune response.
  • Degree of foreignness influences immunogenicity, meaning that greater phylogenetic distance between species tends to result in greater immunogenicity.
  • Highly conserved molecules across species, like collagen and cytochrome c, might not be immunogenic even in distant species.

Adjuvants

  • Substances that enhance the immunogenicity of antigens.
  • Enhance immunogenicity by:
    • Prolonging antigen exposure.
    • Creating a depot effect where antigens are slowly released.
    • Activating the immune system with TLR ligands, generating help signals.

Antigenic Epitopes

  • Specific regions of antigens that are recognized by antibodies or T cell receptors.
  • Antibodies can recognize linear epitopes, which are continuous amino acid sequences, or conformational epitopes, which are created by the 3D structure of the antigen.
  • T cell epitopes are exclusively protein or glycolipid based and require processing by antigen-presenting cells (APCs).
  • T cells recognize processed antigen fragments presented by MHC molecules.

Key Differences Between B-Cell and T-Cell Recognition

  • B cells can recognize a wide range of antigens, including proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, and other molecules with 3D structures.
  • T cells are restricted in the type of antigens they can recognize, primarily proteins, and only when presented by MHC molecules.
  • B cells directly bind to antigens.
  • T cells only recognize processed peptides that are presented by MHC molecules.
