This document summarizes antigen processing and presentation. It discusses two main pathways - the endogenous/MHC class I pathway which processes intracellular antigens and presents them on MHC class I for recognition by CD8+ T cells, and the exogenous/MHC class II pathway which processes extracellular antigens in antigen presenting cells and presents them on MHC class II for recognition by CD4+ T cells. Key aspects of each pathway are outlined, including antigen processing, peptide binding to MHC molecules, and cell surface presentation to T cells.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a collection of genes on chromosome 6 in humans that code for MHC molecules. MHC molecules are divided into three classes: class I molecules are found on almost all nucleated cells and present intracellular peptides; class II molecules are found on antigen-presenting cells and present extracellular peptides; class III molecules are secreted proteins with immune functions like complement components. MHC molecules present peptide fragments to T cells to trigger immune responses and also determine compatibility for organ transplants.

The document provides an overview of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, including their history, structure, organization and inheritance, and functions in antigen presentation and immune responses. MHC molecules are membrane-bound glycoproteins that are encoded by genes in the MHC locus and present antigen peptides to T cells to initiate adaptive immune responses against intracellular and extracellular pathogens.
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules present peptide antigens to T cells and are highly polymorphic. MHC molecules are classified into three main classes - Class I molecules present intracellular peptides to CD8+ T cells, Class II present extracellular peptides to CD4+ T cells, and Class III genes encode complement proteins. MHC molecules have a peptide-binding groove that binds short peptides for presentation to T cells. MHC polymorphism generates a diverse repertoire of molecules that can present a wide variety of peptides and mount immune responses against pathogens.

MHC class I and II molecules are membrane-bound glycoproteins that present antigen peptide fragments to T cells. MHC class I presents endogenous antigens processed via the cytosolic pathway to CD8+ cytotoxic T cells, while MHC class II presents exogenous antigens endocytosed and processed via the endocytic pathway to CD4+ helper T cells. The cytosolic pathway involves proteolytic degradation of antigens in the cytosol and transport of peptides to the ER for assembly with class I MHC. The endocytic pathway involves internalization of exogenous antigens, processing in endosomes, transport of class II MHC to endosomes, and assembly of antigen peptides with class II MHC.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a set of genes found in all mammals that encodes cell surface proteins essential for the immune system to distinguish self from non-self. The MHC is involved in antigen presentation, immune cell interactions, and determining compatibility for transplantation. In humans, MHC genes are located on chromosome 6 and are divided into three main classes: Class I presents antigens to cytotoxic T cells, Class II presents antigens to helper T cells, and Class III encodes proteins involved in inflammation.

These proteins help the immune system recognize foreign substances by presenting antigen fragments to T cells. There are three main classes of MHC molecules: class I molecules present antigens to CD8+ T cells on nearly all nucleated cells; class II molecules present antigens to CD4+ T cells and are found on antigen-presenting cells; class III molecules encode for other immune system proteins. MHC molecules have a groove that binds peptides for presentation to T cells, allowing the immune system to detect infected or damaged cells.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules are membrane-bound glycoproteins that function as specialized antigen-presenting molecules. There are two main classes of MHC molecules - class I and class II. Class I molecules present intracellularly derived antigens to CD8+ T cells, while class II molecules present extracellular antigens engulfed by antigen-presenting cells to CD4+ T cells. Both classes of MHC molecules form stable complexes with peptide ligands within a binding groove and display them on the cell surface for recognition by T-cell receptors.
The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC):
- Is located on chromosome 6 and contains genes such as HLA that play a role in distinguishing self from non-self.
- Genes are organized into three classes: class I present antigens to T cells, class II present antigens to T helper cells, and class III genes produce immune system proteins.
- MHC molecules are highly polymorphic and inherited as sets (haplotypes) from each parent, allowing presentation of a wide variety of antigens.
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) antigens are a set of cell surface proteins essential for the acquired immune system to identify foreign molecules. MHC antigens bind to pathogen antigens and display them on the cell surface for identification by T-cells. MHC is a cluster of genes on chromosome 6 in humans that encodes these antigens. There are three classes of MHC - Class I presents antigens to CD8 T-cells on all nucleated cells, Class II presents antigens to CD4 T-cells on antigen presenting cells like macrophages, and Class III plays a role in immune function through complement and cytokines. MHC antigens act as antigen presenting structures and play important roles in immune responses, transplantation tissue matching, and autoimmune diseases.

The document discusses immune recognition molecules, focusing on major histocompatibility complex (MHC), T-cell receptors, T-cell epitopes, T-cell markers, B-cell epitopes, and Toll-like receptors. It describes how MHC molecules present antigen peptides to T cells to initiate immune responses. MHC class I molecules present intracellular peptides to CD8+ T cells, while class II molecules present extracellular peptides to CD4+ T cells. MHC molecules bind peptides through their peptide-binding cleft in a polymorphic and promiscuous manner. Very few peptide-MHC complexes are needed to activate antigen-specific T cells.
1) The HLA (MHC) genes encode cell surface proteins that present antigens to the immune system and are important for determining compatibility in transplantation. They are codominantly expressed and polymorphic with multiple alleles in populations.
2) MHC genes can be divided into classes I, II, and III. Class I genes present antigens to cytotoxic T cells and are expressed on most cells. Class II genes present antigens to helper T cells and are expressed primarily on antigen presenting cells.
3) Antigen presenting cells such as dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells activate T cells by presenting antigen through MHC molecules along with co-stimulatory signals. This activation induces T cell proliferation, differentiation, and cytokine production.
The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a cluster of genes found in all mammals that plays a key role in the immune system by helping distinguish self from non-self. MHC genes are organized into three classes: Class I presents antigens to cytotoxic T cells, Class II presents antigens to helper T cells, and Class III encodes proteins involved in immune functions. MHC molecules are highly polymorphic and vary considerably between individuals, helping the immune system recognize a wide variety of pathogens.
1. The MHC molecules present peptide antigens to T cells. Class I MHC present intracellular peptides to CD8+ T cells, while class II MHC present extracellular peptides taken up by endocytosis to CD4+ T cells.
2. Antigens are processed through different pathways depending on if they are intracellular or extracellular. Intracellular antigens are degraded by the proteasome and transported into the ER by TAP to bind class I MHC. Extracellular antigens are endocytosed and degraded in lysosomes to bind class II MHC.
3. The peptide-MHC complexes are then transported to the cell surface for recognition by T cell receptors.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a set of genes that code for cell surface proteins essential for the acquired immune system to recognize foreign molecules in vertebrates. Peptides from intracellular pathogens are carried to the cell surface by MHC class I and MHC class II and presented to CD4 T cells. Antigen presenting cells like dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells present MHC class II antigens to CD4 T cells, while all nucleated cells present MHC class I antigens.
Antigen-presenting cells display antigen peptides on their surface bound to MHC class II molecules. When a T helper cell recognizes this complex, it becomes activated through costimulatory signals from the antigen-presenting cell. MHC molecules bind intracellularly degraded antigen peptides and present them to T cells. Exogenous antigens enter cells through endocytosis or phagocytosis and are degraded and presented via MHC class II. Endogenous antigens are degraded and presented via MHC class I in the endoplasmic reticulum.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a collection of genes that encode glycoproteins found on the surface of mammalian cells. MHC proteins present antigens and help the immune system distinguish self from nonself. There are two major classes of MHC molecules: class I molecules present antigens to cytotoxic T cells on all nucleated cells, while class II molecules present antigens to helper T cells on antigen-presenting cells that have engulfed foreign antigens. Together, MHC molecules play a key role in cell-cell interaction and initiating adaptive immune responses.
The MHC complex is a cluster of genes present in all mammals that plays an important role in self/non-self discrimination. MHC genes code for cell surface antigens that present antigens to T cells and are highly polymorphic between individuals. There are four classes of MHC molecules: Class I presents endogenous antigens to CD8+ T cells on all nucleated cells; Class II presents exogenous antigens to CD4+ T cells on antigen presenting cells; Class III proteins have immune functions; Class IV is no longer used. The MHC complex is crucial for immune recognition and response.

Certain gram-positive bacteria can form highly resistant endospores. Endospores develop within vegetative bacterial cells and are produced by genera such as Bacillus and Clostridium. Endospores are extraordinarily resistant to environmental stresses like heat, radiation, chemicals, and desiccation. This resistance makes endospores important in food, industrial, and medical microbiology as they must be sterilized using autoclaves. Endospores have a complex structure consisting of an exosporium, spore coat, cortex, core wall, and core, which contains inactive cell structures. The core contains dipicolinic acid and calcium ions that contribute to heat resistance through stabilization of DNA and dehydration of the pro
Coeliac disease is a long-term autoimmune disorder triggered by ingesting gluten, which damages the small intestine and interferes with nutrient absorption. It commonly causes symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, fatigue and weight loss. The only treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet. It is caused by an immune reaction to gluten and related proteins found in wheat, barley and rye. Diagnosis involves blood tests to detect antibodies and biopsy of the small intestine to check for damage. Left untreated, it can lead to complications like malnutrition and increased cancer risk.

Restriction enzymes are enzymes found in bacteria that cleave DNA at specific recognition sites. They provide a defense mechanism against invading viruses. There are three main types of restriction enzymes: Type I recognize asymmetric sequences and make random cuts in DNA far from the recognition site. Type II recognize palindromic sequences and cut within or near the site. Type III recognize two separate sequences and cut DNA some distance after the site. Restriction enzymes are named based on the bacteria they were isolated from.
Vectors are DNA molecules that can carry foreign DNA into host cells. There are two main types of vectors - expression vectors, which are used to produce proteins, and cloning vectors, which are used to replicate and clone DNA fragments. Common cloning vectors include plasmids, cosmids, phage vectors like lambda, and bacterial and yeast artificial chromosomes. Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that are commonly used to clone DNA fragments up to 12kb in size. Cosmids and phage vectors like lambda can carry larger fragments up to 45kb and 20kb respectively. Bacterial and yeast artificial chromosomes can carry even larger fragments up to 100kb and 1mb respectively but are more difficult to work with. All vectors require key

difference between Transcription in eukaryotes and prokaryotes kamilKhan63
In prokaryotes the transcription is simple while in eukaryotes the transcription is complicated or complex.
Occurrences
Prokaryotic transcription occurs in cytoplasm.
Eukaryotic transcription occurs in nucleus.
3. In prokaryotes mRNA is transcribed directly from the template DNA strand while in eukaryotes 1st pre-mRNA is formed and then processed to yield mature mRNA.
Post translational modification of protienkamilKhan63
The document discusses post-translational modifications (PTM) of proteins. It defines PTM as the chemical modification of proteins after translation, including phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, glycocylation, and other types of modifications. These modifications are important as they increase protein diversity and regulate functions like activity, localization, and interactions. The document also describes techniques for detecting PTM, including mass spectrometry and blotting.
This document provides guidance on taking a patient's medical history. It outlines important steps like introducing yourself, speaking in the patient's language, asking open-ended questions, and actively listening. Key details to record include the patient's name, age, sex, job, address, present complaints, and a systems review. The history should also cover past treatments, allergies, family history, and personal/social factors like relationships, economic status, and alcohol use to understand the patient's full medical context.

Difference between prokaryotes and eukaryoteskamilKhan63
This document summarizes the key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles, have circular DNA or plasmids instead of chromosomes, are generally unicellular, and are smaller than eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles, multiple linear chromosomes, can be uni- or multicellular, and are larger than prokaryotic cells. The document provides examples of organisms for each cell type and describes differences in cell structures.
Difference between innate and adaptive immunitykamilKhan63
The document compares innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity provides immediate protection and is nonspecific, responding to any pathogen. It involves physical barriers, phagocytes, and the complement system. Adaptive immunity provides acquired, antigen-specific protection through lymphocytes and memory cells. It responds more slowly but is more effective. Adaptive immunity is developed after exposure while innate immunity is present from birth.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
