, - **Recognition mechanism (BCR can recognize free-floating antigen, TCR require

antigen to be bound to MHC) (**MAIN DIFFERENCE**)


- Consequences of activation (BCR activation leads to antibody secretion, TCR

activation does NOT lead to receptor secretion)


What is (self) MHC-restriction? - ANSWER✔✔-The TCR on T cells will interact with

MHC-peptide only if the MHC is of the same type as the one the T cells encountered in

the thymus during their selection process (only your T cells can recognize your MHC

molecules)


On which cell types are MHC molecules expressed? - ANSWER✔✔-MHC I: all

nucleated cells (so not on erythrocytes)


MHC II: antigen presenting cells (B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells)


On which cell types are TCRs expressed? (this isn't a trick question). - ANSWER✔✔--

CD8 Cytotoxic T cells


- CD4 Helper T cells


What does MHC stand for? - ANSWER✔✔-Major Histocompatability Complex


What are the components of the MHC II? - ANSWER✔✔-beta chain (B1, B2)


alpha chain (a1, a2)
