front 1 February 1	back 1 lecture 5 B cell module
front 2 recap of lecture 4	back 2 state of nonresponsiveness antibody binds to B cells and macrophages engulf them? apoptosis - programmed cell death can be triggered program is cell intrinsic (all cells have it) when send such strong signal of auto reaction -> trigger apoptosis
front 3 B cell dev stages in the bone marrow coincide with the steps of VDJ gene recombination	back 3 Mature B cell has rearranged VDJ heavy chain rearranged VJ light chain has IgM and IgD antibodies has CD19 B cell activation 3 types of mature B cells - diff subsets of B cells -> divisions of labor
front 4 mature B cells: 3 types	back 4 FoB follicular B cells follicle is structure in lymph node and spleen where immune cells congregate - and roam body most B cells are follicular zone B cells (most abundant) IgM + IgD MZB marginal zone B cells sit around where blood goes/etc from spleen so can capture antigens 1/10th of splenic B cells B1 Can make antibodies when nothing is around provide natural immunity smth abt fetal in fluidic parts of the body

front 5 functional consequences of B cell activation in antibody responses	back 5 no data
front 6 division of labor among 3 mature B cell types	back 6 2 major ways B cells can activate T cell dependent antibody responses follicular B cells activated with the help of T cells T cell independent antibody responses stimulate marginal zone B cells and B1 B cells dont need help of T cells
front 7 repetitive epitopes in an antigen can activate B cells to produce antibodies	back 7 for T cell independent responses repetitive epitopes can activate cell and make it proliferate, not changing quality of antibody polysaccharides and nucleic acids - repeated structures when receptors cluster - enough to initiate biochemical responses to send B cells into proliferate/expand sends such powerful signal that it triggers antibody production/B cell response
front 8 T cell independent B cell activation	back 8 2 types of these antigens trigger B cells of repetitive epitopes B cells receive direct help from innate receptors, TLRs simultaneous activation of BCR and other receptors on B cells (ex: TLRs) induce the B cells to proliferate and differentiate extra activation signal cross linking of BCR: type 2 T cell independent immune response strong cross linking of BCRs by repetitive polysaccharides or protein epitopes extensive receptor aggregation -> B cell activation all life made of protein, fats, carbs, nucleic acids, etc. Thus, antigens have these This may be a mechanism to provide protection during time adaptive immunity is maturing - during the first few days, it would be innate response, and possibly this response Repetitive epitope can bring together a lot of BCR(?) – can be so powerful that change machinery in B cell, and undergo the changes that make it produce antibodies

front 9 mechanism of B cell activation by BCR signaling	back 9 Signal transduction BCR signaling activates transcription factors and alters gene expression know BCR or TCR don’t have inherent ability to activate B or T cell on its own -> so it associates w/ other proteins that can do that ** antigen receptors don’t have inherent ability to activate - when phosphorylation occurs w/ tyrosine kinases - get phosphorylated quickly -> eventually activate transcription factors to irreversibly activate B cell - bc genes turned on and used for immune response - process important – biochemistry of B cell changes upon seeing antigen - if possible to activate this receptor massively, then all the changes that occur are possible to lesser extent
front 10 What are T cell-independent antigens and how do they activate B cells? What type of B cells are activated by T cell-independent antigens	back 10 pause for activity Repetitive epitope can bring together a lot of TCRs – can be so powerful that change machinery in B cell, and undergo the changes that make it produce antibodies B1 and marginal B cells can be triggered
front 11 T cell-dependent ans T cell-indepfnent antibody production	back 11 T-dependent BCR or antibody molecule can see linear or nonlinear epitopes bc antibody structure sees shapes (not sequence) - can see many types of molecules - same antigen can be taken up by T cell in shape of a peptide - this presentation of antigen is key in gaining T cell help for helping B cells make antibody - make IgG, IgA, IgE - NOT IgM - B cells activated from antigen, and T cells also activated - how do they meet w/ same specificity for same antigen? - this can happen anywhere T-independent dont fully understand, go over this???
front 12 B cell receptor signaling functionally alters B cells: expand clonally and solicit T cell help as APC	back 12 Naïve B cell – starts to express proteins - also are better survivors than before encountered antigen - they can also present antigen to T cells, by showing it a small peptide - the T cell will then help the B cell naive B cell -> expression of proteins that promote survival and cell cycling -> increased survival, proliferation antigen presentation interaction w/ helper T cells

front 13 B cell receptor signaling functionally alters B cells: (continued, just 3 more possible functions after BCR signaling)	back 13 become responsive to cytokines, migrate and differentiate into plasma cells naive B cell + antigen inc expression of cytokine receptors responsiveness to cytokines inc expression of CCR7 migration from follicle to T cell zone generation of plasma cells antibody secretion When B cells see antigen, express new molecules on surface (cytokine receptors) - when B cells see antigens, become alert bc now can respond to soluble molecules did not see before - can go to where T cells are - B cells can become plasma cells -> secrete antibodies BCR signal transmission is a process that changes the B cell a lot – can never go back
front 14 phases of B cell activation during an immune response	back 14 antigen recognition by naive IgM IgD B cell activation of B cell + helper T cell/other stimuli proliferation/differentiation antibody secreting plasma cells -> antibody secretions IgG expressing B cell -> isotype switching high affinity Ig-expressing B cell -> affinity maturation and memory B cell
front 15 extracellular vs intracellular pathogens	back 15 antibody mediated immunity is for extracellular pathogens, toxins, etc. more abt immunity to intracellular pathogens discussed in T cell module How do T cells see antigen? T cells limited – only see peptides (protein antigens) 2 types of microbes generally - live in cell or - extracellular Antibodies cannot get into cells Only way to cure intracellular pathogens -> by killing infected cells Killer T cells – kill infected cells
front 16 B and T cells see antigens independently	back 16 follicular B cell + antigen -> then helper T cell -> then isotype switched, high affinity antibodies; memory B cells, long-lived plasma cells

front 17 antigen-specific B and T cells find each other in immune cell hubs (lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, etc.)	back 17 How B and T cells find each other Lymph nodes thru bodies - circulate immune cells constantly If lymphocytes going thru tissues constantly, are likely to find each other - chances of a unique B and T cell seeing each other increases because of heavy traffic of immune cells thru the body
front 18 B and T cells see antigens differently	back 18 no data
front 19 T cells want their antigens (peptides) to be served on a platter	back 19 System T cells use to recognize antigen - they cannot find floating antigens (must be presented) See peptide displayed on MHC molecule (presenting the antigen to the T cell) T cell see antigen only in this fashion, and must be presented by antigen presenting cell from own body’s cells (personal butler)
front 20 infected cells process Ag (peptides) and MHC molecules serve them to T cells	back 20 How looks inside the antigen presenting cell (dendritic cell, macrophage, etc) What happening in cell - pathogen enter, broken down into pieces, peptides displayed on MHC molecule and presented to T cell this process = antigen processing T cells can only see peptide after being processed by our cells (antigen presenting cells) Very diff from B cells – can see directly

front 21 B cells are antigen-presenting cells to solicit T cell help in the GCs	back 21 B cell recognition of native protein antigen receptor-mediated endocytosis of antigen antigen processing and presentation T cell recognition of antigen B cells can chop up the antigen, make peptide, and present them to the T cell = glue between antigen specific T and B cell = how they find each other specifically -> Allows them to cooperate -> This occurs in lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, in the GC
front 22 B cells promote and solicit T cell help for their activation	back 22 Interaction btw B and T cells B cell present antigen to T cell B cell is specific to the antigen Activates T cell (innate antigen presenting cell can do the same thing to activate the T cell) + start making cytokines B cells make cytokine receptors once activated - so the cytokines made by cytokines are recognized by B cells Activated T cell starts making protein receptor called CD40 ligand (on T cell surface) B and T cell must physically interact – make junction similar to neurons talking They connect for hours -> further and further activated (T cell more and more activated by peptide, and B cell more and more activated by cytokines from T cell) 3 signals 1. B cell presenting antigen to T cell 2. CD40 ligand and CD40 interacting 3. Cytokines form T cell to B cell = the cells interacting. CD40 signal potent for clonal expansion -> T cell makes B cell clonal expansion occur more rapidly - T cell help is superior in B cell activation, compared to B cells on their own = in this process, make a LOT of B cells, and thus more plasma cells and antibodies
front 23 B cell Ab response requires Ag and a 2nd plus signals	back 23 hypothesis says B cell must receive 3 signals in order to undergo clonal expansion + make antibodies usually provided by T cells 3rd is important, but not on this slide cytokines, TLRs CD40 ligand/receptor interaction B cell presenting antigen to T cell
front 24 B cells interact physically with T cells to make higher quality and quantity antibody response	back 24 takes 2 to tango B and T cells must interact to make humoral response optimally physical interaction required to make potent B cell receptor = ultimately helps B cells and activates T cells when doe sB/T cell antigen presentation happen, and when is it done by innate cell instead? initiation of immune response by antigen presenting cell, can be done by B or innate cell depends on chance and which cell meets first

front 25 What is required for the full activation of B cells during a T cell-dependent immune response?	back 25 pause for activity
front 26 the germinal center reaction	back 26 activation of B cells and migration into germinal center -> B cell proliferation -> somatic mutation and affinity maturation; isotype switching -> exit of high-affinity antibody-secreting cells and memory B cells where does specific B and T cell interaction take place? once B and T cells see antigen and recognize each other, can go on to form new structure that did not exist prior to infection (germinal center) to optimize immune response optimization B cell is tested for how well it binds w/ antigen -> if good, then multiplies many cycles of testing and multiplication btw the light and dark zone makes possible to select better binding B cell clones for antigen binding many B cells go on to be memory cells or make antibodies = why memory response is effective, bc have gone thru germinal center testing to have cells that respond/bind very well to antigen why secondary response is more powerful, robust, precise, and faster (same for vaccines, not just natural immunity) what changes in B cells that increase their affinity?? answer: affinity maturation
front 27 whats happening in the germinal center? isotype switching and somatic hypermutation	back 27 affinity maturation B cell activation by CD40L induces activation induced deaminase (AID) that promotes SHM Occurs thru somatic hypermutation - CD40 interaction makes B cells start making new enzyme (activation induced deaminase (AID)) – responsible for mating mutations in binding site of antibody - in the junctions where variability occurs, creates NEW mutations ONLY after B cell fully mature and part of immune response - carried out by AID specifically
front 28 antibody affinity maturation by somatic hypermutation	back 28 somatic mutations lead to selection of high affinity B cells (lower affinity change to high affinity) mutations cause change in antibody binding site shape T cell help and germinal center environment are required for somatic hypermutation in B cells during immune responses Happens in the binding site, where variable regions are In both heavy and light chains, but occurs more in heavy chains This process perfects the antibody – originally is not as perfect as it can be - further maturation of affinity of antibody - happens only with T cell interaction’s CD40 interaction, which starts this AID being used, and thus leading to this affinity maturation

front 29

affinity maturation of primary antibody by SHM (somatic hypermutation)

back 29

IgM primary antibody -> somatic hypermutations in binding site of antibody

front 30

selection of high affinity B cells in the germinal centers (GCs)

back 30

B cells with somatically mutated Ig V genes and Igs with varying affinities for antigen

B cells with high affinity membrane Ig bind antigen on follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) and present antigen to helper T cells

B cells that recognize antigen

for selection of high affinity antibodies

select only the best binders
- best affinity -> go on
- if not high affinity -> apoptosis

during this process - start expressing death receptor

if T cell not attached to B cell, the death receptor is lost?
T cells can protect B cells from death?
