Contemplating Langerhans and marginal zone B cells: they appear to deliver the antigens to FDC

Do lymphatic Langerhans deliver antigens to the Germinal center Follicular Dendritic Cell like the marginal zone B cells in the spleen?

If only langerhans and Marginal zone B cells interact with the FDC giving it antigens then what do they have in common? (langerhans at the lymph and MZB at the spleen)

contemplating follicular T cells and B7-2

The B7 ligands inform the T cell which pathway to take: to become follicular T cells or to become regulator Tcells  then as a T follicular to find a B cell to make antibodies. B7 when binding CTL-4 can also slowly stop the reactions.

B7-2 and follicular T cell development
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3089765/

B7-2 is on Langerhans, medial zone B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells which bring the antigens to the lymph or spleen

B7-1 is on the follicular B cell that presents to the follicular T cell that with TCR stimulation activates the T cell and Icos is expressed.

(B7-1 is also on activated T cells and activated macrophages)

Pd-L is increased with ifn gamma on cd4 and cd8 cells so they can interact with the myeloid or plasmacytoid dendritic cells.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29743314

The notion that B7-2 tells the T cells to become follicular is logistical. The antigen carrier wearing B7-2 informs the T cell that we have the antigen so please find an antigen presenter, a B cell and make antibodies with them.

in the absence of additional dendritic/antigen carrying cells  the T cells having seen APC can't make il-21 ( become follicular?)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21715693/

Is this the B7-2 ?

How do B cells see the antigen for internal antigens? SCS macrophages are key



When you separate the inner and outer antigen pathways you can see where B cells become antigen presenters themselves but how do they see the antigens and make the proper antibody when the TCR of T cells are critical ?




In these scenarios we have left out the macrophages.  The SCS macrophages display viruses and antigens but macrophages are the "second stimulators".  They keep T cells activated and I believe they might also show the viral antigen to B cells that have been activated.



The macrophages are required for GC formation:

Contemplations of IgG2 and IgG3 antibodies


When it comes to viruses IgG2 binds cytosolic viruses and IgG3 binds mitochondrial and nuclear viruses but what happens when bacterias and parasites move inside of the host cell? Which IgG antibodies are involved?

LEC educates on local antigens before allowing cells into lymph gland

LEC educates on local antigens before allowing cells into lymph gland

Tolerance is the "self education" given the B and T cells. B cells have been taught the external antigens in the bone marrow while T cells have learned the internal DNA/RNA antigens in the thymus. These self educations where all genes are expressed are called Central Tolerance.

Peripheral Tolerance is given to B and T cells by the gatekeeper cells of the lymph glands: the Lymphatic Endothelial cells.  Lymphatic endothelial cells express the tissue specific genes of the cells of their area. They also sample and wear the antigens commonly found in their area.


These lymphatic endothelial cells will only allow in T and B cells that do not react with the self antigens specific to the tissues of the of the peripheral area into the lymph gland.  (B cells are hypothesized to be educated too but this is not proven)

Current ideology is that if we can get antigens from a transplanted organ into the LEC tolerance to the transplanted organ will occur. The question is how is this done exactly and how often do LEC update their antigens.
