Which cell are presenting sea cell rhinitis?
There is no condition known as sea cell rhinitis, but there is seasonal rhinitis. One cell that is presenting in this condition is nasal mucosal antigen-presenting cell, or APC.
Is T cell activation antigen specific?
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.
What cell is not and antigen presenting cell?
Basophils is not Phagocytic
What does not serve as an antigen-presenting cell?
natural killer cells.
What group does the phagocytic antigen-presenting cell belong to?
monocyte-macrophage
The function of an antigen-presenting cell depends on the presence of what?
MHC proteins.
Antigen presenting cell?
Antigen-presenting cells display foreign antigens on the cell surface with the hopes of T cells noticing recognizing these complexes. The cells that do this on a routine basis are called Professional APC's. This group consists of dendritic cells, macrophages, B-cells, and certain activated epithelial cells.
How are antigens removed from bacteria?
Macrophages ( in the lymph nodes ) act like phagocytes to engulf and digest the pathogen. But they do not fully digest it. They separate out the antigens and incorporate them into a cell surface molecule. This is exposed on the surface of the macrophage, which becomes known as an antigen-presenting cell. Its function is to find the lymphocytes that can neutralise that particular antigen.
What are the double signals in T cell activation?
T cells receive 3 signals during activation:1. Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) presenting an antigen (foreign peptide) to the T cell receptor2. The co-stimulatory signal (B7 on the dendritic cell binding to CD28 on the T cell)The first signal ensures that the T cell is specific for the antigen it has been presented.The T cell cannot be activated without also recieveing the second signal. This is how the T cell checks that it has been presented an antigen by a "professional" antigen presenting cell.3. Cytokines (signalling molecules) are released by the dendritic cell - these cause the differentiation of the T cell
What does a naive b cell do?
It hangs around in a lymph node until an 'antigen-presenting cell' comes and finds it, and then it starts producing antibodies specifically to 'hunt down' or stick to whatever protein it is that the antigen-presenting cell shows to it. Once it starts producing antibodies, it's then known as a plasma cell. Antigen-presenting cell = phagocytic or 'pacman-like' macrophage or neutrophil that has eaten evil stuff and keeps a trophy of it's kill on its cell surface to wave around like a flag as it returns from the site of an infection back to base camp (AKA: lymph nodes). My apologies for all the battle references, but I imagine the immune system and its functions in a very graphic, very action-movie kind of way. It's just too cool and complex not to.
The main antigen-presenting cells in the body are?
MACROPHAGES
What is the first signal required for activation of a T cell?
The first signal required to activate a T cell is MHC(Major Histocompatibility Complex) presenting an antigen(foreign peptide) to the T cell receptor.
