New cards
What provides signal 1 for B cell activation?
Antigen binding to BCR
2
New cards
What is a thymus independent (TI) antigen?
Activates B cells without T cell help
3
New cards
What antibody is produced in TI responses
IgM only
4
New cards
Why can’t TI responses class switch?
No T cell help
5
New cards
What are TI-1 antigens?
Antigens that activate BCR and innate receptors (LPS)
6
New cards
What are TI-2 antigens?
Repetitive epitopes that extensively cross-link BCRs
7
New cards
What is a thymus-dependent (TD) antigen?
Requires CD4+ help
8
New cards
Which interaction provides signal 2 in TD responses?
CD40-CD40L
9
New cards
Why are TD responses stronger?
Class switching, memory, affinity maturation
10
New cards
Which cells act as APCs for TS responses
B cells themselves
