introductory bio. question
    #5517525 - 04/14/06 11:06 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I'm studying immune system basics right now. A question about acquired immune system:

BCell and Tcell receptors can, in theory, bind to as many as 10^12 to 10^16 different antigens. I am wondering 1) how many antigen recognizing factors we normally have coursing through our veins and lymphatic ducts and 2) if an antigen is introduced into our body but it happens to be unrecognizable by any of the BCell or Tcell receptors what happens? Do these cells die off quickly being replaced by other cells with a new recombinant gene type that would hopefully match the epitope? Something is missing...
