- Which of the following statements is the most accurate concerning lymphocytes? a. T cells and B cells both express TCRs. These are the product of approximately 100 genes. Each lymphocyte expresses only one of the ~100 receptors coded for by these genes, and in the absence of clonal selection the liklihood that two cells express the same receptor is only moderate b. T cells and B cells express TCRs and BCRs respectively. These are the product of genetic recombination and can comprise one of millions of combinations. Each lymphocyte can express 1000s of different receptor variants, maximizing the likelihood that a single adaptive immune cell will recognize pathogen-associated antigens. c.

- Which of the following is true about MHC? Check all that apply. A. MHC I is expressed in all nucleated cells with 3 alpha chains and stabilized by beta2 microglobulin B. MHC II is expressed in antigen presenting cells and has 3 pairs of alpha and beta genes, HLA-DP, DQ, DR and more C. MHC I in humans known as HLA has 3 genes HLA-A, B and C D. MHC is polygenic but not polymorphic in humansSketch a B cell antigen receptor. Label the V and C regions of the light and heavy chains. Label the antigenbinding sites, disulfide bridges, and transmembrane region. Where are these features located relative to the V and C regions?For the diagram below, all of the following statements are true EXCEPT: Antigen- binding site V C Heavy chain V Light chain S.S. Fc (stem) region c C Hinge region None of the other four answers (All are true statements) Antibodies (Immunoglobulins) are composed of four protein molecules, two identical "light" chains and two identical "heavy" chains Antigens bind to the "stem", composed of the constant regions of the two "heavy" chains The variable (V) regions form the antigen binding sites The constant (C) regions determine class of antibody
