Question 1

Question
What is MHC?
Answer
  • Presents antigens to T-cell on antigen presenting cells
  • Receives antigens from T-cells to antigen presenting cells

Question 2

Question
TCR's- T Cell Receptors that detect antigens presented by antigen presenting cells
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 3

Question
Presentation of antigens through MCH/TCR activates the T-cell
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 4

Question
How to Superantigens work?
Answer
  • Increase the presentation of antigens by MHC, super-stimulating the T-cells
  • Allows MHC/TCR binding without antigen present, super-stimulating the T-cells
  • Prevents T cell activation by destroying TCR's

Question 5

Question
Why are Superantigens dangerous
Answer
  • They prevent T-Cell activation
  • The over-activate T-Cells
  • Which causes T-Cells to over-release cytokins, causing shock like symptoms
