Document Summary

Two types of t-cell: t cytotoxic cell recognises infected/abnormal cells & lyses them, t helper cells assists humoral & cellular response. T-cell receptors bind to specific region cell response to release perforins that lyse infected cell: are glycoproteins made up of 2 polypeptide chains /w diff. a-a sequences. Antigens don"t bind unless they have a mhc marker. Mhc molecules found on all cells it is the mhc that is capable of binding the antigen. Receptors on macrophage membrane can bind to constant region of the heavy chain region of the antibody. Variable region of antibody binds to antigenic determinant enables it to recognise that pathogen has antibodies hence engulfs antigen, lyses it than presents it to t helper cell. Macrophage detects pathogen engulfs pathogen & antigen is phagocytised digested by vesicle into smaller pieces in vesicles by enzymes mhc molec inside macrophage picks up antigen presents it on the outside of the macrophage.
