Role of Lymphocytes - 3
•
B-cell and T-cell interaction - continued
•
B-cell
•
antigen on MHC II
•
T
helper
(CD4+)
•
TCR = CD3
•
1.TCR on CD4+ cell recognizes antigen on MHC II of B-cell
•
2.CD4+ cell secretes cytokines that cause B-cell to proliferate,
differentiate, and secrete antigen specific antibodies
•
U
IL-2
•
U
IL-4
•
IL-2 + IL-4
•
3.the interaction of CD40 on B-cell with gp39 on CD4+ cell causes B-
cell proliferation
•
gp39
•
CD40
