4: Antigen recognition by B-cell and T-cell receptors
Innate Immune Responses: Initial defence against infection. & Controls pathogens with specific molecular patterns or
those inducing interferons and nonspecific defences.
• Adaptive Immune System
o Lymphocytes recognize a variety of antigens1, which are recognized by specialized proteins on
lymphocytes.
o B cells have immunoglobulins2 (Igs) as recognition proteins.
o B-cell receptor (BCR) 3is a membrane-bound form of immunoglobulin.
o B cells produce antibodies 4with the same specificity as BCR.
• Antibody Structure and Function
o Antibodies have two functions: specific binding (to pathogens or their products in extracellular
spaces) and recruiting other cells to destroy pathogens.
o Variable region (V region) 5binds antigen, while the constant region (C region) 6engages elimination
mechanisms.
o Antibody variability allows recognition of a wide range of antigens.
o C region has five isotypes7, each activating different effector mechanisms.
• T-Cell Receptors (TCRs)8
o Membrane-bound proteins associated with intracellular signalling.
o Recognize short peptide fragments of protein antigens presented by MHC molecules9 on host cells.
o MHC molecules=transmembrane glycoproteins encoded in the major histocompatibility complex
(MHC)10 and are highly polymorphic11, increasing the range of bound peptides.
o TCR recognizes both peptide antigen and the MHC molecule (MHC restriction12).
• Despite different antigen recognition methods, both B and T cells use structurally similar receptor molecules.
➔ Basic structure accommodates variability in antigen specificity.
1
Any molecule that can bind specifically to an antibody or generate peptidefragments, recognized by a T-cell receptor
2
The protein family to which antibodies and B-cell receptors belong
3
The cell-surface receptor on B cells for specific antigen; composed of transmembrane immunoglobulin molecule (which
recognizes antigen) associated with the invariant Igα and Igβ chains (which have a signalling function). On activation by antigen,
B cells differentiate into plasma cells producing antibodies of the same antigen specificity as this receptor.
4
A protein that binds specifically to a particular substance (antigen). Each antibody molecule has a unique structure that enables
it to bind specifically to its corresponding antigen, but all antibodies have the same overall structure and are known collectively
as immunoglobulins. Antibodies are produced by differentiated B cells (plasma cells) in response to infection or immunization
and bind to and neutralize pathogens or prepare them for uptake & destruction by phagocytes.
5
The region of an immunoglobulin or T-cell receptor that is formed of the amnio-terminal domains of its component polypeptide
chains. These are the most variable parts of the molecule and contain the antigen-binding sites.
6
That parts of an immunoglobulin or a T-cell receptor that is relatively constant in aminoacid sequence between different
molecules. Also known as the Fc region in antibodies. It determines its particular effector function.
7
The designation of an immunoglobulin chain with respect to the type of constant regio it has. Light chain scan be of either
kappa or lambda isotype. Heavy chains can be of µ, δ, γ, α or ε isotype. The different heavy-chain isotypes have different effector
functions and determine the class and functional properties of antibodies (IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, IgE)
8
The cell-surface receptor for antigen on T lymphocytes. It consists of a disulfide linked heterodimer of the highly variable α and
β chains in a complex with the invariant CD3 and ζ proteins, which have a signaling function. T cells carrying this type of receptor
are often called αβ T cells. An alternative receptor made of variable γ and δ chains is expressed with CD3 and ζ on a subset of T
cells.
9
Highly polymorphic cell-surface proteins encoded by MHC class I and MHC class II genes involved in presentation of peptide
antigens to T cells. They are also know as histoncompatibility antigens.
10
A cluster of genes on human chromosome 6 that encodes a set of membrane glycoproteins called the MHC molecules. The
MHC also encodes proteins involved in antigen processing and other aspects of host defese. The genes fort he MHC molecules
are the most polymorphic in the human genome, having large numbers of alleles at the various loci.
11
Existing in a variety of different forms; applied to a gene, occuring in a variety of different allels
12
That fact that a peptide antigen can only be recognized by a given T cell i fit is bound to a particular self MHC molecule. MHC
restriction is a consequence of events that occur during T-cell development.
