Learning Objectives for "The Adaptive Immune System: B1. MHC Molecules"

After completing this section you should be able to perform the following objectives.

18. State which body cells display MHC-I surface molecules and which cells normally display MHC-II surface molecules.

2*. Define endogenous antigen and exogenous antigen and state which class of MHC molecule primarily binds each.

3*. State which type of T-lymphocyte recognizes epitopes from protein antigens on MHC-I molecules and which type recognizes epitopes from protein antigens on MHC-II molecules.

4*. State the role of proteasomes in binding of peptides from endogenous antigens by MHC-I molecules.

5*. State the role of lysosomes in binding of peptides from exogenous antigens by MHC-II molecules.

(*) = Common theme throughout the course
