Class α & β chain Class I α-chain + m SEPARATE INTRACELLULAR PATHWAYS FOR CLASS I AND CLASS PRESENTATION OF PEPTIDES The general rule is: Endogenous Class I Exogenous Class However Endogenous peptides may be released, endocytosed & presented in Class (not surprisingly) Three distinct forms of endocytosis Phagocytosis e.g. MФ, DC, PMN Pinocytosis all cells Receptor-mediated endocytosis e.g. B-cell All can lead to Class presentation pathway. Infected cell targeted Non- cell also targeted Dendritic cells may take up exogenous peptides and direct them to their own Class I pathway ( Cross-Priming - additional help for Tc development) Cross-presentation by peptide transfer through gap junctions.

Additional findings on examination included hypotension (blood pressure 0/50mmHg), conjunctival injection, and cellulitis of both calves. Over the next 2h there was increasing pain and swelling of the right calf associated with disappearance of the pedal pulse, necessitating emergency fasciotomies of the anterolateral and posterior compartments of the right leg. Gram stain of the fluid obtained during fasciotomy showed gram-positive cocci with an abundant growth of Group A β-hemolytic streptococci on muscle culture. The same organism was also isolated from throat and blood cultures. Exotoxin typing revealed pyrogenic exotoxins A and B. A diagnosis of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome was made on the basis of the above findings. The patient made a full recovery following treatment with intravenous clindamycin. Question: What is the molecular basis for these symptoms? 2 APC weak binding, no signalling TH no specific TcR/Ag recognition 2 APC TH TSST-1 strong binding, signalling IL-2, TNFα... TSST-1 AS "SUPERANTIGEN" Cross-links TCR and MHC Class. Massive activation of CD+ T-cells and release of cytokines; Cytokine Storm normal immune response: ~1/10,000 T-cells superantigen : ~1-20% of all T-cells Bacterial and viral superantigens cause massive non-specific triggering of T-cells Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin (TSST-1, -2) [Strep] Streptococcal Pyogenic Exotoxin A (SPEA) Staphylococcal Enterotoxins B & C3 (SEB, SEC-3) Mycoplasma arthritidis-derived superantigen (MAS) Exfoliative toxin A (ETA) [Staph] Note: superantigens are not really antigens...

Bare Lymphocyte Syndrome (199) Absence of MHC Class (="type 2") Repeated, severe infections - bacterial, viral, fungal, protozoal, respiratory, diarrhea, failure to thrive (presents like SCID) Inheritance: varied autosomal recessive, symptoms begin to appear in early infancy Deficiency or absence of MHC Class expression CD+ T-cell lymphopenia [why??] Hypogammaglobulinemia (IgG, IgM, IgA) Deficient or absent antibody responses (immunizations, microbial antigens) Therapy: Hemopoietic Stem Cell transplant Deficiency in T-cell help for B-cells and CD+ T cells, for macrophage activation, etc. 5
