IntroductionIntroduction
Every mammalian species studied to date possesses a tightly linked cluster of genes – the major histocompatibility complex – whose products (MHC antigenes) are associated with self/nonself discrimination.
The MHC copmplex plays a central role in the development of both humoral and cellular immune response.

MHC IMHC I and binding of Ag fragments and binding of Ag fragments
Top viewAntigen fragment (green) is trapped by MHCI molecule in endoplasmic reticulum and transported to the surface of the cell.
The Ag fragment spans for 8-10 amino-acid residues. Alfa helices of 1 and 2 domain (red) bind Ag fragment.

MHC and TCR MHC and TCR Antigens and superantigensAntigens and superantigens
Antigens are processed by APC cells and presented in the frame of MHCII molecules. Ag fragments are localized in the cleft between 1 and 1 domains of MHCII. APC`s activate just Ag specific clone of T cells.(right side of picture)
Superantigens bind out of MHC cleft and activate many clones of T cells. The response is nonspecific, produce a lot of mediators (interleukines) that can lead to shock reaction.(left side of picture)
![Page 9: Lecture](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56815444550346895dc24f16/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Exogenous antigens (Ag) are presented by APC cells.
MHCII is synthesized in endoplasmic reticulum. Transported to Golgi system and released to cytoplasma in primary lysosome.
Ag is endocytosed and transported in early edosome.
After fusion of early endosome and primary lysosome the Ag is degradated to Ag fragments by lysosmal enzymes.
Fragments of Ag are trapped by MHCII molecules and expressed on cell surface where recognized by Th cells.

Activation of Th cells MHC II molecules
Th cells recognize Ag fragments by TCR (T cell receptor).
The response of Th cells depend on the affinity between TCR and MHCII+Ag. 1) low affinity (usually self Ag) -> T cells are not activated 2) high affinity (usually foreign Ag) - > T cells accept the interaction as
THE FIRST SIGNAL, but the T cells are still not fully activated.
After delivery of SECOND SIGNAL represented by cytokine IL-1 (produced by macrophages) Th cells became ACTIVATED and provide HELP for :
1) Tc cells via IL-2 ( Tc became cytolytic)
2) B cells via IL-4, IL-5 (proliferation, diferentiation, class switching)

Activation of Th cells MHC I molecules
Endogenous antigenes (foreign as well as self) are presented by all nucleated cells.
MHCII molecules are synthesized in endoplasmic reticulum. Endogenous Ag is cleaved in cytoplasm by proteasome and Ag fragments are transported to endoplasmic reticulum via TAP transporters.
Ag fragments are then trapped by MHCII molecules and transportedto surface of cell membrane, where recognized by Tc cells.

Activation of Tc cells MHC I molecules
Tc cells recognize Ag fragments by TCR (T cell receptor).
The response of Tc cells depend on the affinity between TCR and MHCI+Ag. 1) low affinity (usually self Ag) -> T cells are not activated 2) high affinity (usually foreign Ag) - > T cells accept the interaction as
THE FIRST SIGNAL, but the T cells are still not fully activated.
After delivery of SECOND SIGNAL represented by cytokine IL-2 (produced by Th cells) Tc cells became ACTIVATED - cytolytic and lyse cells which present the Ag which was recognized during the first signal delivery.

GeneticsGenetics
MHC genes are:
• very polymorphic
• inherited according Mendelian rules
• expressed codominantly on the cells
