NO! I am currently taking an online health class and the answer was true or false to the question above, and i googled the internet and it said yes so i chose true and got the answer wrong, so no antigen is not a self cell
Yes. The first signal that a T cell receives from an antigen presenting cell (dendritic cell) is MHC presenting an antigen (foreign peptide). This gives the T cell specificity to this antigen.
Yes the antigen binding sites on the Cell determine the antigen which it bonds to and differentiates using histocompatabilty markers.
The T cell enters a state of anergy. In this case, the T cell becomes tolerant to that antigen and is unable to divide or to secrete cytokines. This state of unresponsiveness to antigen is called anergy.
when a antigen enters the body then the body would send antibodies to get rid of them. The antibody doesn't get rid of the antigen they tag it by binding to it so that a cell..a white blood cell can come and destroy by phagi.
antigen
A non-self antigen is a 'Foreign' cell or chemical which is not naturally found inside the body.
Yes. The first signal that a T cell receives from an antigen presenting cell (dendritic cell) is MHC presenting an antigen (foreign peptide). This gives the T cell specificity to this antigen.
MHC I and MHC II are always expressed. The antigen it presents on a cells surface can be foreign or it can be self. It is the T cell that determines whether what the MHC is displaying is self or not. Remember antigen can be protein, lipid, sugars, etc.
An antigen can be anything from virus to bacteria to a soluble protein from outside or inside a cell. This includes both foreign and self peptides. An antibody that finds an appropriate antigen will bind to it and your B and T cells determine if it's self or not. A processed antigen came from cytosol. A protein will be taken by ubiquitin to a proteosome where it is broken up into small peptides. These peptides will make their way into the endoplasmic reticulum (through TAP) where they are exposed to MHC's.
Yes the antigen binding sites on the Cell determine the antigen which it bonds to and differentiates using histocompatabilty markers.
Neither. Alloreactivity has to do with a lymphocytes reacting to a foreign antigen. Positive and negative selection are processes of central tolerance which is to say that they deal with a T cell's ability to bind self-antigen.
