Linked Recognition occurs when a B cell is activated by a helper T cell that responds to the same antigen as the B cell. The epitope recognized by the B cell must be "linked" to the epitope recognized by the helper T cell--in a manner such that both epitopes are physically linked in a certain manner. However, the two epitopes need not be the same.

The importance of linked recognition can be observed in maintaining self tolerance. Also, a B cell recognized by a helper T cell is up to 10,000 times more efficient at displaying peptide fragments on their MHC class II molecures than B cells that are not helped.

What are the roles of N-linked and O-linked glycosylation in protein structure and function?

N-linked glycosylation helps with protein folding, stability, and recognition of the protein by other molecules. O-linked glycosylation can affect protein function by regulating protein activity, localization, and interactions with other molecules. Both types of glycosylation play important roles in modifying protein structure and function.


What is the difference between a glycoprotein and a glycolipif?

A glycoprotein is a molecule composed of a protein linked to a carbohydrate, while a glycolipid is a molecule composed of a lipid linked to a carbohydrate. Glycoproteins are mainly found on the surface of cells and play a role in cell recognition and signaling, while glycolipids are primarily associated with cell membranes and are involved in cell adhesion and signaling.
