Lymphocyte Development 1. B cell development in the bone marrow shares may features with T cell development in the thymus. A) Discuss the two major goals of lymphocyte development? B) Compare and contrast the ordered steps of receptor rearrangement in B and T cells. C) What cell surface molecules make up the pre-B cell receptor and the pre-T cell receptor and are they only required for development?

Match the following cells rith their meanings below: hematopoietic stem cell lymphocyte mопосyte basophil cosinophil erythyocyte neutrophil platelet 1. red blood cell white blood cell: phagocyte and precursor of a macrophage 2. 3. thrombocyte bone marrow cell; gives rise to many types of blood cells 4. 5. leukocyte formed in lymph tissue; produces antibodies 6. leukocyte with dense reddish granules; associated with allergic reactions 7. leukocyte (poly) formed in bone marrow and having neutral-staining granules 8. leukocyte whose granules...
1. At the molecular level, what drives B cell development in the bone marrow? 2. What is the role of stromal cells in B cell development in the bone marrow? 3. Describe the sequence of events in B cell development with respect to rearrangement of heavy and light chain Ig genes. 4. Why does Ig gene rearrangement often fail to produce a functional protein product? What mechanisms exist to overcome this problem? 5. What is “allelic exclusion” and what is...
1. How does a double positive T cell become a mature T cell? Include the selection process. 2. What is the effector function of CD8+T cells? How do they cooperate with CD4+ T cell effector functions? 3. What specifically drives the formation of each subset of Th effector cells? How do these Th effector cells respond once activated (i.e. what are their effector mechanisms?) 4. Describe in detail the signals in which an APC activates a T cell, and include...
Lymphocyte Development 1. B cell development in the bone marrow shares may features with T cell development in the thymus. A) Discuss what you consider to be the two major goals of lymphocyte development (i.e, what is the purpose of the Bone marrow and Thymus environments). B) Describe what occurs during the Precursor B cell stage and identify/describe the analogous stage in T cells.
A. Discuss the importance of the bone marrow stroma for B-cell development. B. What would be the effect of anti-IL-7 antibodies on the development of B cells in the bone marrow, and at which stage would development be impaired? Explain your answer. C. What is MHC restriction? How is it achieved during T-cell development? D. How is self-tolerance achieved during B- and T-cell development?
Which of the following statements is (are) true of a T cell that expresses two α chains (and thus two different T-cell receptors) as a result of ineffective allelic exclusion of the α chain during rearrangement? There will be two unique TCRs on the surface of this T cell. Engaging either of the T-cell receptors on MHC molecules of the thymic epithelium will result in positive selection. If either T-cell receptor binds strongly to self-peptide presented by self-MHC molecules, the...

D 7. Deficiency in RAG1 and/or RAG2 can affect the proper development of which of the following cell types, resulting in decreased numbers of circulating cells of those types? B cells T cells NK cells Both B and T cells All of the answers are correct. D 8. Which of the following are functions related to the expression of MHC molecules? To display self-peptides to demonstrate cell health To display foreign peptides To display self-peptides to test developing T cells...
Explain how the adaptive immune response is able to generate the diversity of antigen receptors necessary to recognize the multitude of foreign antigens. Explain how clonal selection contributes to the development and expansion of antigen specific lymphocytes that do not respond to self. Distinguish cytokines and chemokines and their roles in the immune response What are the 3 roles of antibody in the immune response What are the two types of T cells that contribute to cellular immunity? What are...
