Asilmi 07- B CELLS AND ANTIBODIES
B Lymphocytes are predicted to generate approximately 1 X 1011 distinct antigen receptors.
However, the human genome only contains about 35,000 distinct genes.
How does such a limited genome enable the generation of an almost infinite number of antigen receptors?
Asilmi 07- B CELLS AND ANTIBODIES
Answer: Diversity is generated through somatic recombination of gene segments that code for the variable regions of the receptors.

THE GERMLINE ORGANIZATION OF ANTIGEN RECEPTOR GENE LOCI.
The Ig Heavy chain locus contains up to a few hundred variable (V) region genes. The variable region gene segments are followed by diversity (D)
and joining (J) gene segments.
The Light chain loci displays a similar organization to the Heavy chain locus, except that it lacks any D gene segments. There are two light chain loci - and .

GENERATING DIVERSITY BY V(D)J SOMATIC RECOMBINATION
6. The resulting mRNA is translated to generate a unique IgM heavy chain.
5. The V-D-J gene segment is spliced to the first C region RNA ( Chain)
4. The new gene is then transcribed.
3. A V gene segment then recombines with the D-J segment, generating a recombined V-D-J gene.
2. In a single lymphocyte clone, one D gene segment randomly recombines with one J gene segment.
1. V, D and J gene segments are arranged in tandem.

1. Each recombination generates a unique variable region - unique antigen specificity.

2. In contrast, the constant region does not change - conserved effector function.

1. Naïve B cell encounters antigen.
STAGES OF B CELL ACTIVATION
2. Helper T cells stimulate B cells.
Asilmi 07- B CELLS AND ANTIBODIES
PRESENTATION OF ANTIGENS TO T HELPER CELLS BY B CELLS
1. The naïve B cell receptor binds its cognate antigen.
2. The receptor triggers endocytosis of the antigen.
3. Antigen is processed and presented on a Class II MHC molecules. (B cell acts as classical APC)
4. B cell stimulates T cell activation.
Asilmi 07- B CELLS AND ANTIBODIES
HELPER T CELL ACTIVATION OF B CELLS
1. B Cells process and present antigens to helper T cells.
2. T cells commence production of molecules that activate B cells (CD40, cytokines).
3. The combination of CD40 (physical contact) and cytokines activates B cells.
4. T helper cell signals induce B cell activation (proliferation and differentiation).

3. Activated B cells begin clonal expansion.
Asilmi 07- B CELLS AND ANTIBODIES
CLONAL EXPANSION
Each B and T cell encodes a unique BCR or TCR with a unique specificity.
When a BCR or TCR encounters its cognate antigen the B cell or T cell is stimulated to undergo multiple rounds of cell division, thereby expanding. Each daughter is identical to the parent cell, i.e. a clone.

MEMORY LYMPHOCYTES
Active Lymphocyte
Memory Lymphocyte
Some active lymphocytes differentiate into memory lymphocytes.
MEMORY LYMPHOCYTES: Produced from naïve lymphocytes as a result of antigen exposure. Persist for years in a quiescent state. Rapidly reactivated by repeat exposure to antigen and mediate faster, more potent immune responses.
