Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 17Q
It is often said that the normal microbiota of a human “trains” the immune system to react to foreign antigens and not react to self antigens. Use what you know about clonal deletion and clonal selection to suggest how this might happen.

- Generally, polysaccharides are not good antigens, because B cells that recognize them cannot get T-cell help. But for some pathogens, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae opsonization by antibodies that bind the thick polysaccharide "capsule" layer surrounding the bacteria is the major mechanism of clearing the infection. As expected, a pure polysaccharide vaccine is not terribly effective, but much better immunity is achieved by vaccinating with a polysaccharide covalently linked "conjugated" to an unrelated protein. Explain how this conjugate vaccine allows B cells capable of making anti-polysaccharide antibodies.arrow_forwardDrag the labels to correctly relate host cells to the defense processes they carry out.
