Document Summary

Engulf, chop up antigen, combine with mhc-ii, present on cell surface where helper t cell can then bind: recognition: costimulation: matching proteins, nonantigenic (cannot start immune response) Second step to ensure immune response happens. Both docking steps have occurred: helper t cytokines required for clonal expansion. Il-1 from presenting cell (activates helper t cell: tnf. Stimulates production of more helper t cells. 99% of antigens are processed in lymph nodes: antigen recognition b cell selection and activation, clonal selection and differentiation of b cells. An antigen selectively activates a tiny fraction of quiescent lymphocytes, which grow and divide to become a clone of effector (plasma) cells. While most of the clone cells differentiate into antibody-secreting plasma (effector) cells, those that do not become long-lived memory cells that can mount an almost immediate humoral response if they encounter the same antigen again. This selective proliferation of a clone = the primary immune response.
