[q] Proteins synthesized in the cell cytosol are routinely degraded in proteasomes, and the peptides from these proteins are transported through a peptide transporter, known as the ……., into the endoplasmic reticulum, where they have the opportunity to bind to freshly synthesized MHC class I proteins.

[q] ……. is used to present antigens that antigen presenting cells (dendritic cells, macrophages and B-lymphocytes) have encountered in the body and have taken up by phagocytosis or endocytosis.

[f]IExhbmdlcmhhbnMgY2VsbHMu[Qq]

[q] Several surface molecules are involved in the activation of mature, naive T lymphocytes:

[q] …….. are bacterial proteins that cross-link the variable β domain of a T-cell receptor to an α chain of a class II MHC molecule. This, in turn, activates macrophages, resulting in overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α). Excess amounts of these cytokines induce systemic toxicity.

[q] Differentiation of a Th0 cell into a Th1 cell is stimulated by intracellular pathogens (viruses and intracellular bacteria). These pathogens induce a strong innate immune response with the resultant production of ……. by macrophages and …… by NK cells.

[c]IFNob3cgbWUgdG hlIGFuc3dlcg==[Qq]

[f]IElMLTEyLCBJRk4tzrMu[Qq]

[q] Th1 cells secrete high levels of the inflammatory cytokine ……. which amplifies the Th1 response and inhibits the Th2 response.

[c]IFNob3cgbWUgdG hlIGFuc3dlcg==[Qq]

[f]IElGTi3Osy4=[Qq]

[q] Differentiation of a Th0 cell into a ……. cell seems to be encouraged in response to large extracellular parasites such as helminths or allergens. Several cytokines are produced including IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, and IL-13.

[c]IFNob3cgbWUgdG hlIGFuc3dlcg==[Qq]

[f]IFRoMi4=[Qq]

[q]  produced by Th1 cells promotes further Th1 development and inhibits the proliferation of Th2 cells, while …….. produced by Th2 cells promote Th2 differentiation and inhibit the activation of THI cells.

[q] Differentiation of a Th0 cell into a …… cell occurs in the presence of extracellular bacterial and fungal infections. The activated cells will secrete the cytokines IL-17, IL 21 and IL-22.

[q] …….. help maintain specific immune tolerance by suppressing CD4 and CD8 T-cell effector functions. Have been shown to be critical for the prevention of autoimmunity. Activated cells produce anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, TGF-β).

[f]IElzb3R5cGUgc3dpdGNoaW5nLg==[Qq]

[f]IGxnRS4=

Cg==

Cg==[Qq]

[q] …….. results from an inability of B-lymphocytes to undergo isotype switching from lgM to other immunoglobulin isotypes such as lgD, lgG, lgE and lgA due to genetic deficiencies in the CD-40 T-lymphocyte ligand that is essential in inducing B-cells to switch classes.

[c]IFNob3cgbWUgdG hlIGFuc3dlcg==[Qq]

[f]IEh5cGVyLWxnTSBzeW5kcm9tZS4=[Qq]

[q] During the intense proliferative response of the B cell, random mutations in the coding of the variable domain region may occur. This is called …….?
