Chapter 43, Problem 12TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The relationship between losing DNA in B and T cells during maturation and DNA as heritable biological information based on similarities between cellular and organismal generations.
Introduction:
The B cells and T cells are types of lymphocytes. They originate from the stem cells as other blood cellsby a process known as hematopoiesis. Some of the lymphocytes move to thymus that matures into T cells. The lymphocytes present in the bone marrow mature into B cells. An antigen binds tothe receptor present on B or T cell and elicits a B cell or T cell response. Unlike other cells of immune system, particular lymphocytes have an antigen receptor specific for one epitope. So, it can bind to antigen of any pathogen that displays that epitope.

Researchers can make monoclonal antibodies by immunizing a mouse with a molecule (or with a microorganism). The resulting antibody-mediated response produces a set of antibodies that recognize different parts of the molecule. The mouse's B cells are then harvested from its spleen and fused with cancerous B cells from a myeloma cell line. The resulting hybrid myeloma ("hybridoma") cells are cloned: Individual cells are grown in tissue culture as separate cell lines. Each cell line produces and secretes antibodies that recognize one part of the immunizing molecule. These antibodies are called monoclonal antibodies, and they can be purified and used for research or other purposes. Monoclonal antibodies are effective for passive immunization, but only in the immediate term. Antibodies produced by one's own immune system can last up to about six months in the bloodstream, but monoclonals delivered in passive immunization often last for less than a week. Why the difference?
Body Systems
Antigens are cellular parts that are able to bind to antibodies. Antigens are usually made out of proteins or polysaccharides, so they
include parts like the coats, capsules, or cell walls of pathogens (disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms).
Antibodies are proteins that are produced by the immune system to prevent the growth and spread of pathogens. Antibodies bind to
antigens, like keys fitting into specific locks.

- The T-cell receptor gene segments are arranged in a similar pattern to immunoglobulin gene segments and are rearranged by the same enzymes. While B cells and T cells differ markedly in their functions during an immune response, the two lymphocyte subsets share the enzymatic machinery and overall scheme for generating antigen receptor diversity. This is because: B cells and T cells recognize the same form of antigen expressed by an infecting pathogen. Animals with B cells developed first, and later evolving species then developed T cells. B cells and T cells both need enormous antigen receptor diversity to provide protection against the diversity of pathogens. Antibody and T-cell receptor gene segments are both flanked by similar recombination signal sequences. B cells and T cells both secrete their antigen receptor proteins after they are activated by antigen-binding.arrow_forwardWrite correct and sequence optionarrow_forwardPart b pleasearrow_forward

Mix epithelial cells with heat-killed virus, wait 24 hrs, wash away any virus particles outside the epithelial cells, then add epithelial cells to dendritic cells. Mix epithelial cells with viral peptides, wait 24 hrs, wash away any viral peptides not bound to the epithelial cells, then add epithelial cells to dendritic cells.

These strategies include the generation of diverse repertoires of B-cell and T-cell antigen receptors, as well as polymorphism of MHC genes. The polymorphism of MHC genes differs from the diversity of lymphocyte antigen receptors in that: It involves DNA rearrangements at multiple gene segments in the MHC locus. It requires different enzymes than the RAG1/RAG2 recombinase required for antigen receptor rearrangements. It results in a diverse repertoire of clonally distributed receptors on dendritic cells, rather than on lymphocytes. It creates diversity between individuals in the population rather than within a single individual. It does not contribute to the transplant rejection responses that occur after organ transplantation between unrelated individuals.arrow_forward

How do these vaccines work? * The vaccine will not cause the disease, but will help develop the body’s first line of defense. The vaccine mimics the virus that causes the disease and triggers the creation of antibodies. No answer The presence of the virus in the vaccine will improve the innate immune response of the body. The vaccine causes a mild infection that will trigger the production of antibodies against the virus.arrow_forwardWhat occurs in a cell-mediated immune response? Select all that apply. Naive B cells bind to antigen on the surface of a bacterium and become activated. A dendritic cell incorporates digested viral antigen-MHC complexes.
