Brain Kidney And Lens protein
...
Heterogenic Specificity;-some of the antigens are present in different species, class,
family kingdoms and phylum
...
They are absent in rabbit so they are used to prepare antibodies
...
For ex- Weil Felix test (Typhus Fever) PaulBunnel Test (Infectious mononucleosis) cold Agglutination test (atypical Pneumonia)
...
T cell dependent(TD)
2
...
They need to be mediated by T cell
...
This MHCII receptor causes T cell to differentiate into T(h) cells
...
It interact with CD40 receptor on B cell to
produce Ab
...
They interact
with BCRs of innate immunity
...
Type 1- Directly mitogenic and cause polyclonal B cell activation
...
Type 2- They activate B cell to generate Abs with help of cytokinines and also activate
complement system
...
[These are
usually lipids sugar and nucleic acid]
Superantigens- These are antigenic molecules which when introduced activates massive
number of T cells
...
They have high molecular weight
...
They don’t bind in the groove between and chains of MHCII receptor, they rather
bind lateral to chain and V chain of TCR
...
Determinant recognized by innate immune system:Adaptive immunity they recognize discrete determinants and demonstrate high degree
specificity
...
These molecular patterns are pathogen associated molecular patterns
(PAMPs) and receptors are pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)
...
Toll like receptors-Trans membrane receptors on macrophages and
dendritic cells
