1. Define the terms: antigen, hapten, epitope, paratope (slide 43), agretope (slide 40), and immunogen. Describe the differences in how B and T cells and their antigen receptors see antigens and what those differences mean as far as composition of antigens that can be recognized by B and by T cells.

QUESTION 11 How is the immune system able to recognize a limitless number of different antigens and epitopes? While each lymphocyte carries receptors that recognize only one type of epitope, the immune system produces a wide variety of lymphocytes each of which carries unique receptors A genetic "memory" of the pathogens your parents encountered (and their parents and so on) is passed on to each generation, increasing the number of possible responses over time. Each lymphocyte is coated with many...
Subject: intro to immunology Question: Explain the difference between T-Independent and T-Dependent B-cell responses, describing the B-cell subsets that participate in each type of response and the biochemical nature of the antigens that evoke them.
ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS FULLY AND CORRECTLY
5-1 T cells recognize antigen when the antigen a. forms a complex with membrane-bound MHC molecules on another host-derived cell b. is internalized by T cells via phagocytosis and subsequently binds to T-cell receptors in the endoplasmic reticulum c. is presented on the surface of a B cell on membrane-bound immunoglobulins d. forms a complex with membrane-bound MHC molecules on the T cell e. bears epitopes derived from proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. 5-2 a....
