  2. Ii antigen system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ii_antigen_system

    The Ii antigen system is a human blood group system based upon a gene on chromosome 6 and consisting of the I antigen and the i antigen. [1] The I antigen is normally present on the cell membrane of red blood cells in all adults, while the i antigen is present in fetuses and newborns. [2]

  3. CD74 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD74

    HLA class II histocompatibility antigen gamma chain also known as HLA-DR antigens-associated invariant chain or CD74 (Cluster of Differentiation 74), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD74 gene. [5] [6] The invariant chain (Abbreviated Ii) is a polypeptide which plays a critical role in antigen presentation.

  4. Antigen presentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antigen_presentation

    A non classical MHC-II molecule (HLA-DO and HLA-DM) catalyses the exchange of part of the CD74 (CLIP peptide) with the peptide antigen. Peptide-MHC-II complexes (pMHC-II) are transported to the plasma membrane and the processed antigen is presented to the helper T cells in the lymph nodes. [9]

  5. Immunological memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunological_memory

    The adaptive immune system and antigen-specific receptor generation (TCR, antibodies) are responsible for adaptive immune memory. [citation needed] After the inflammatory immune response to danger-associated antigen, some of the antigen-specific T cells and B cells persist in the body and become long-living memory T and B cells. After the ...

  6. Cross-presentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-presentation

    After antigen peptide loading, the MHC molecule is transported out of the ER, through the Golgi complex, and then onto the cell surface for cross presentation. [10] It appears that both pathways are able to occur within an antigen presenting cell, and may be influenced by environmental factors such as proteasome and phagocytic inhibitors. [6]

  7. MHC class II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHC_Class_II

    In some cells, antigens bind to recycled MHC class II molecules while they are in the early endosomes, while other cells such as dendritic cells internalize antigens via receptor-mediated endocytosis and create MHC class II molecules plus peptide in the endosomal-lysosomal antigen processing compartment which is independent of the synthesis of ...

  9. Immunoglobulin superfamily - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobulin_superfamily

    The antigen receptor of T cells is the T-cell receptor (TCR), which is composed of two chains, either the TCR-alpha and -beta chains, or the TCR-delta and gamma chains. All TCR chains contain two Ig domains in the extracellular portion; one IgV domain at the N-terminus and one IgC1 domain adjacent to the cell membrane. Antigen presenting molecules
