Some Chapter 10 study questions:•What are the major steps required to generate robust B cell activation? What cell types are involved?•How do B cell homing properties change over the course of B cell activation? What mediates this process?•What critical events occur during formation of a B cell immunological synapse with a helper T cell? What is the function of the synapse?•What is the basis of the hapten-carrier effect?•What is the role of the germinal center? What cell types are present there?•How do antibodies act by neutralizing immunity, by fixing complement, and by antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)?•Which antibodies are typically multimeric?•What are the special functions of IgE?

Antibody-mediated opsonization and phagocytosis of microorganisms
•Phagocytes bind to microbes coated with specific antibodies. IgG is particularly good at this. IgG binding enhances phagocytosis and killing.
•The process of coating microbes with IgG to enhance phagocytosis and bacterial killing is called opsonization.
•IgG is bound by FcRI, expressed on different phagocytes. Fc: crystallizable fragment, : IgG, R1: receptor 1 (FcRI=CD64).

1. IgE Structurea) Like IgM, has an extra CH4 domain in the constant region.b) Binds FcRI with very high affinity.
2. IgE Propertiesa) IgE does not fix complement.b) The least common serum Ig because it binds tightly to Fc receptors on basophils and mast cells in tissue even before interacting with antigen.c) IgE plays a role in parasitic helminth diseases. Since serum IgE levels rise in parasitic diseases, measuring IgE levels is helpful in diagnosing parasitic infections. Binding of eosinophils to IgE-coated helminths results in killing of the parasite.d) As a consequence of its binding to basophils and mast cells, IgE is also involved in allergic reactions. Binding of the allergen to the IgE on the cells results in the release of mediators (such as histamine) that result in allergic symptoms.

Very rapid (seconds) mast cell degranulation following IgE crosslink
Because of the high affinity, IgE-coated mast cells sit there in your tissues…like a loaded gun.

Some Chapter 10 study questions:•What are the major steps required to generate robust B cell activation? What cell types are involved?•How do B cell homing properties change over the course of B cell activation? What mediates this process?•What critical events occur during formation of a B cell immunological synapse with a helper T cell? What is the function of the synapse?•What is the basis of the hapten-carrier effect?•What is the role of the germinal center? What cell types are present there?•How do antibodies act by neutralizing immunity, by fixing complement, and by antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)?•Which antibodies are typically multimeric?•What are the special functions of IgE?
