Chapter 16, Problem 4CT
Summary Introduction

To describe:

The immunological impairements that would result in mice deficient in each of the following class-I MHC, class-II MHC, TCR,BCR, Il-2receptor and IFN-γ.

Introduction:

Immune system activation causes the priming of BCR and TCR with binding of the epitopic antigen inside the cleft of the receptor along with the major histocompability complex formation. It is formed on the surface of antigen presenting infected cells. B-cells and T-cells release cytokines and interferon’s which cause apoptosis of the infected cells in the human body.
