Lymphocyte Receptors
Lymphocytes role in surveillance
and recognition is a function of
their receptors.
B-cell receptors bind free
antigens
T-cell receptors bind processed
antigens

Characteristics of
Antigens
Perceived as foreign, not a normal
constituent of the body
Foreign cells and large complex
molecules over 10,000 MW are most
antigenic.
Antigenic determinant, epitope
small molecular group that is
recognized by lymphocytes
Antigen has many antigenic
determinants.

Special Categories of
Antigens
Alloantigens cell surface markers of
one individual that are antigens to
another of that same species
Superantigens potent T cell
stimulators; provoke an overwhelming
response
Allergen antigen that provokes allergy
Autoantigens molecules on self
tissues for which tolerance is inadequate

Interactions
Antibody-Antigen
Interactions
Antigen-Antibody binding are very specific, their
effects are:
Opsonization process of coating
microorganisms with specific antibodies so they
are more readily recognized by phagocytes
Agglutination Ab aggregation; cross-linking
cells or particles into large clumps
Neutralization Abs fill the surface receptors
on a virus or the active site on a microbial
enzyme to prevent it from attaching
Antitoxins are a special type of Ab that
neutralize a bacterial exotoxin.
