Study Notes

Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)

  • MHC is a tight cluster of linked genes.

Immune System Cells

  • Chediak-Higashi syndrome is caused by a deficiency of NK cells.
  • Polymorphonuclear leukocytes include:
    • Eosinophils
    • Basophils
    • Not macrophages
  • Mast cells have a high affinity receptor for IgE.
  • Microglial cells are macrophages associated with the central nervous system.

Antigen Presentation

  • Dendritic cells constitutively express Class II MHC molecules.
  • Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) include:
    • Dendritic cells
    • Not lymphoid dendritic cells
  • Follicular dendritic cells do not function as antigen-presenting cells.
