The Adaptive Immune Response Is a Specific Defense Against Infection Name the class of molecules that includes antibodies, and name the five groups that make up this class.
Based on the constant region of the antibodies there are only five iso-types of the antibodies, while millions of different “V” region domains in the variable part of the antibodies.
Write T if the statement is correct; write F if the statement is not correct. P and E selectins are expressed by endothelial cells. " " TCRs consist of heavy and light chains. " " A disulfide bond can be found on TCRs. " " The antigen binding site in TCRs is contributed by the variable region of the H chain and the variable region of the light chain.

eds Antibodies (Immunoglobulins) Objective 14 Antibodies (immunoglobulins) are glycoproteins secreted by plasma cells. They are located in interstitial fluid, plasma (gamma globulin fraction) and in body secretions. onse A. Antibody Structure Heavy chain Antigen-binding site Light chain Insmakamos Hinge region Complement- binding site Stem region Macrophage binding site OHO (a) Antibody molecule OHO X = Disulfide bond Carbohydrate four polypeptide chains (two heavy, two light) chains are held together by covalent disulfide bonds (S=S) each heavy chain and each light chain has two functional areas: consists of highly variable amino acid sequences which forms the basis of antibody specificity; antigen binds here ????? to more conserved amino acid sequences; there are five basic sequences of amino acids, which define the 5 antibody classes (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE and IgD); ????? each class has its own characteristic set of effector functions (see next page) Your notes: 4 40 4. 39
Some Type-II immunopathology mediated autoimmune diseases have manifestations inmultiple different organs. Discuss how antibodies to one single antigen can cause damage inmultiple sites throughout the body. Things you might discuss include, but are not limited towhere the antigen could be expressed, how antibodies are made, how they bind antigen,where they circulate, the ratios of antigen to antibody, mechanisms of the immune systemthat result in cellular/tissue damage, or how immune system components can affect otherorgans. You might also comment on what makes one antigen an attractive target rather thananother. Please do NOT comment on all the things listed above, they are just to get youthinking. If you are having trouble getting started, it might help to think about a specificdisease which affects multiple organs.

Describe the reason that it is useful that antibodies have two antigen binding arms.
Complement activation is a cascade reaction, with each component sequentiallyacting on others, in a similar way to the blood-clotting system. Discuss the effectsthat occur when peptides are generated from the activation by either the classicalor the alternative pathway. This is an immunology question
Generally, polysaccharides are not good antigens, because B cells that recognize them cannot get T-cell help. But for some pathogens, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae opsonization by antibodies that bind the thick polysaccharide "capsule" layer surrounding the bacteria is the major mechanism of clearing the infection. As expected, a pure polysaccharide vaccine is not terribly effective, but much better immunity is achieved by vaccinating with a polysaccharide covalently linked "conjugated" to an unrelated protein. Explain how this conjugate vaccine allows B cells capable of making anti-polysaccharide antibodies.
