ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY - 2

• CD molecules
• CD4
• CD8
Antigens
• Immunogenicity versus antigenicity
Contribution of the immunogen to
immunogencity
• Factors that influence immunogenicity
• Foreignness
• Molecular size
• Chemical composition and heterogeneity
• Susceptibility to antigen processing and
presentation
Contribution of biological system to
immunogenicity
• Genotype of recipient animal
• Immunogen dosage and route of
administration
• Adjuvants
B-Cell Epitopes
• Soluble antigen
• Hydrophilic mobile peptides containing
sequential or nonsequential amino acids
• Chemically there are Protein, polysaccharide,
lipid
• Involment of MHC molecule is not required
• Involes binary complex of membrane Ig and
Ag
C-Cell Epitopes
• Involes ternary complex of T-cell receptor, Ag
, MHC molecule
• No binding of soluble antigen
• Required to display processed antigen
• there is involvement of MHC molecule to display
processed antigen
• the chemical nature of antigen is mostly proteins but
also some lipids and glycolipids presented on MHC
molecule
• there are internal linear peptides produced by
processing of antigen and aoundto MHC molecule
Immnoglobulins structure and
function
• Heavy-chain
• Light-chain
• Constant region
• Variable region
Immunoglobulin fine structure
• Immunoglobluin domains
• A loop of about 60 amino acids formed
through intra chain disulfide bond
• Light chains contain one variable domain and
one constant domain
• Heavy chains contain on variable domain 3 or
4 constant domain
Variable-Region domains
• Hyper variable regions(complamentarity
determining regions)
• Framework regions
Immunoglobulin class and biological
acativities
• Opsonization
• Activation of complement
• Antibody-dependent cell-mediated
cytotoxicity(ADCC)
Immunoglobulin classes
• Immunoglobulin G
• Immunoglobulin M
• Immunoglobulin A
• Immunoglobulin E
• Immunoglobulin D
Antigenic determinants on
immunoglobulins
• Isotype
• Allotype
• Idiotype
Immunoglobulin superfamily and
monoclonal antibodies
