Like T cells, B cells require multiple signals for activation.
Antigen binding to the B cell antigen __________provides one
signal, while antigen-specific effector ________ provide the other
signals. The requirement for multiple signals to activate either a
T cell or a B cell helps to prevent _______ and dangerous
activation of _________ , including __________
_________. Most of the proteins involved in cell–cell recognition
and antigen recognition in the immune system,
including _________ , TCRs, and _______
proteins, as well as various co-receptors,...
1.What best describe a thymus independent type 2 antigen?
a.Can only activate mature B cells.
b.can only activate immature B cells.
c.Babies respond well to these antigens.
d.Induce high affinity antibodies
Immunological features differentiating naïve B cells activated
in primary immune responses from memory B cells functioning in
secondary immune responses include the fact that [complete the
sentence and assess each subsequent statement (1-7) as either
factually correct (true) or incorrect (false)]:
8. the frequency of antigen-specific B cells is lower in
secondary immune responses.
9. higher levels of IgM are produced in secondary immune
responses.
10. the level of somatic hypermutation is higher in secondary
immune responses.
11. B cells...
You cultured a population of mature B cells in the presence of
antigen alone or antigen plus IL-2, IL-4, and IL-5 & neither
population of B cells proliferated. What are the missing
components?
List the sequence of activities that a B cell undergoes after
activation to a protein antigen. Begin with the process o f
activation of a B cell (specifically identify each step in
activation), then continue until after the centrocyte has
interacted with the follicular dendritic cell and follicular helper
T cell and has made plasma and memory cells. These memory and
effector B cells make IgA antibody.
