Types of Immune Cell Receptors

The video tutorial by Professor Dave covers the various types of immune cell surface receptors, focusing on five main categories: antigen receptors, costimulatory receptors, inhibitory receptors, cytokine receptors, and chemokine receptors. Each category is explained in detail, highlighting their roles in immune response, such as recognizing pathogens, requiring costimulation for activation, regulating immune responses, and facilitating cell communication. The tutorial emphasizes the complexity and specificity of these receptors in maintaining immune system balance.

What is the significance of costimulation in T cell activation?

How do inhibitory receptors like CTLA-4 and PD-1 function in immune regulation?

What role do cytokines play in the immune response?
