What are the differences between Bcell receptors and Tcell receptors?
there are different types of b cell and t cell. both are lymphocytes, a subclass of white blood cell. the t cells are mainly used in identifying antigens and releasing chemicals which attact macrophages (big immune cells which 'eat' antigens), to destroy the antigen. b cells are used in the production of antibodies. when they encounter a new antigen, plasma cells and memory cells are formed from the division of a b cell. the memory cell remembers the antigen and which antibody to use, while the plasma cell makes the antibodies to fight a particular antigen or class of antigens
The difference between pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis is that?
Pinocytosis is nonselective in the molecules it brings into the cell, whereas receptor-mediated endocytosis offers more selectivity.
Macfarlane burnet theory about antigen antibody reaction?
The Burnet theory about antigen antibody reaction is a basic concept about how we make antibodies specific to a foreign substance which has the ability to induce an immune response (antigen). Each B cell displas one unique type of B cell receptor on their surface (which is basically a membrane bound antibody). Therefore many B cells, each expressing its own type of B cell receptor are needed to cover the inexhaustable number of antigens that are possible, in the hope that one type of B cell receptor will be able to recognise the shape of that antigen. If one B cell does recognise the antigen in question, then this B cell will become activated to make many clones of itself, which will obviously carry identical B cell recptors which fit the antigen. |Therefore the clonal selection theory by Burnet is about antibody antigen interactions which result in the 'best-fit' B cell receptor inducing a reaction to tell the B cell carrying the receptor to multiply and produce lots of identical antibodies which can then be secreted to bind to the antigen they are specific for.
How many receptors are present on the cell surface of red blood cell?
It is not fixed for any type of cell in particular that it has such number of cell recepters this number highly varies between different types of cells. I know that the antigen cell receptor is called as an epitope which decides the interaction between a particular antibody. The blood plasma are the highest proportion in blood apart from RBC.
What is the function of a receptor?
Receptor proteins are used to pass messages between cells. They send the messages from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.
What is e difference between receptor proteins and marker proteins?
receptor protein and marker protein are differente''marker protein have cell surface marker that act as name together, the identification of different types of cells and the receptor proteins transfer information from the outside of the cell to the inside receptor proteins are like boulders that how it's difference.
Difference between receptor proteins and carrier proteins?
Receptor proteins are fond in cell membrane surfaces. They are not transport proteins, they conduct the signalling event that cause the cell proliferation, migration and cell death process such as apoptosis. Hormones activates such signalling cascades by binding on the hormone receptors of the cell.
What is the name of the nerve cell between the receptor cell and the central nervous system?
SENSORY NEURONE
What is the meaning of receptor repertoire?
Receptor repertoire refers to the diverse collection of receptors present in an organism, such as cell surface receptors or antibody receptors. It represents the range of specificities and affinities that receptors have for interacting with various ligands or antigens in the environment. The diversity of the receptor repertoire is essential for the organism to effectively respond to different stimuli and maintain homeostasis.
Which is a major difference between the cell membrane and the cell wall?
Which is a major difference between the cell membrane and the cell wall
Define receptor of body?
A receptor is located on a cell membrane. Any neuronic transmission, hormone, etc. that cannot get inside of the cell's membrane will sit on the receptor in order to pass its message along to the cell. When the molecule sits on the receptor, it causes a series of reactions to occur inside of the cell. From the series of reactions that occur inside of the cell, the message is passed along, and the cell will perform as indicated by the molecule on the cell receptor.
What is serpentine receptor?
A serpentine receptor is a receptor in the cell membrane that plays a role in signal transduction.
