Antigen Processing, Antigen Presentation, & Dendritic cell Activation
Antigen uptake by dendritic cells
Dendritic cells take up pathogens.
Antigen processing
The dendritic cells process the pathogens. So that the pathogens
can be recognized by T cells.
Antigen processing.
T cells can only recognize a peptide presented on the surface of antigen-
presenting cell through MHC molecule.
Dendritic cell migration
The dendritic cells migrates to the draining lymph node.
DC migration
Antigen presentation to T lymphocytes
The dendritic cell presents an antigen to naïve specific T lymphocyte.
Intracellular Pathogens Processing & Presentation
Intracellular pathogens
• Virus
• Intracellular bacteria
Presented to T cell by MHC class I
Intracellular antigen processing
Extracellular Pathogens Processing & Presentation
Extracellular antigen processing
Extracellular antigen processing
Review
MHC molecules expression on human cells
All nucleated cells express MHC class I .
Only certain cells express MHC class II .
MHC molecules expression on human cells
Dendritic cells, B cells, and macrophages express both MHC
class I and class II.
But only dendritic cells is known as professional antigen presenting cell.
Those cells are antigen-presenting cells.
Dendritic cells as proffesionalantigen-presenting cells
Express co-stimulatory molecules.
Migrate to the lymphoid organs to present the antigen to T cell.
Distributed throughout the body and have processes which help in antigen uptake.
Dendritic Cell Activation
Dendritic Cells Maturation
Ag processing
Dendritic cells begin a maturation process as they migrate via the
lymphatics to the draining lymph node
DC maturation
Dendritic Cell Maturation
Changes occur in the surface marker of dendritic cell by which change
the nature of dendritic cell.
Play role in DC migration to T cell zone of lymphoid organ.
Co-stimulatory molecule which play role in T cell activation.
Able to phagocyte pathogens.
Mature vs Immature Dendritic Cells
Mature dendritic cell migrates to T cell zone of the secondary
lymphoid organ
DC maturation
Mature dendritic cell activates antigen-specific T lymphocyte.
