Why are MHC molecules able to bind a variety of peptides?
1. the peptide-binding groove of a specific MHC molecule can bind several peptides simultaneously
2. The MHC genes undergo somatic recombination to produce thousands of MHC molecule variants
3. MHC bind very loosely and transiently to peptide antigens, so a wide variety of peptide antigens can bind any specific MHC molecule
4. a small number of amino acids in the peptide antigen bind specifically to complementary pockets in the MHC molecule binding groove
The peptide-binding groove of a specific MHC molecule can bind several peptides simultaneously.
Any protein processed into peptide present in MHC molicule and displayed on surface of cell.
Each MHC molicule have single binding groove. It can bind to many different peptide fragments of different length of amino acids.

1. Opsonization involves: Select one: a. The binding of an antibody to an epitope on a pathogen b. Rearrangement V and J regions of the light chain locus c. Recombination of different V, D, and J regions of the heavy chain locus d. Expression of MHC Class I proteins on all nucleated cells for recognition of self e. Subtle mutation of the heavy and light chain genes to optimize antibody structure 2. Which of these produces and secretes antibodies in...
This pathway to complement activation can be initiated by several different signals including the properdin/factor P activation pathway The classical pathway The alternative pathway Lectin pathway All of the above The mechanism that permits Ig to be synthesized in either a membrane-bound or secreted form is: Allelic exclusion Codominant expression The one-turn/two-turn joining rule Differential RNA processing Which of the following allows for recombination in the V(D)J coding regions? IL-2b TdT RAG-½ All of the above Generation of combinatorial diversity...
ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS FULLY AND CORRECTLY!!!
1) A patient has inherited two defective genes for TAP2 (remember the case study from before) Which of the following are true? (circle all that apply): - The patient will have a scarcity of CD4+ T helper cells -MHC class I molecules will not be expressed to any extent on the patient's cells -MHC class II molecules will be reduced in expression - The patient will have an impaired ability to fight viral...
Could you help with any of these ? and provide an explanation
so I'll understand? thank you so much
