. Concepts (2.5 marks / concept, totally 20 marks) 1. Epitope: the smallest unit of an antigen to which an antibody or cell can bind. 2. Superantigen: molecules that polyclonally activate a large fraction of the T cells by binding to MHC class II molecules and T-cell receptors. 3. Positive selection: thymocytes in the cortex of thymus with TCRs with a moderate affinity for self-MHC molecules on epithelial cells are allowed to develop further. Others undergo apoptosis and die. MHC restriction. 4. Idiotype: are unique antigenic determinants associated with antigen binding sites of antibodies and are the results of the different amino acid sequences which determine their specificities. 5. APC: is a cell that displays peptide fragment of protein antigens, in association with MHC molecules, on its surface and activates antigen-specific T cells. 6. Hypersensitivity: refer to the tissue damage or functional disturbance that occurs as an overreaction by the immune system to a variety of antigens encountered on a second occasion. 7. Fab: fragment antigen binding. Complete L chain paired with the VH and CH1 domains of the H chain 8. McAb: monoclonal antibodies which are produced by a single clone of B cell hybridoma and are homogenous in structure and specificity.
