11. Activation of T lymphocytes Flashcards
what type of cells are constantly in the blood
naive T cells
what are the type of cells that can activate T cells
dendritic cells
where do naive T cells go from blood
2ndary lymph nodes where they meet dendritic cells
what is the movement from lymph nodes to organ they are needed
homing
how do activated T cells get to correct area
randomly go through circulation until it get to correct area
what helps to complete T cell differentiation
macrophages
what can effector T cells activate
Follicular B cells
how do Ag get to lymph nodes
mature/ activated Dendritic cells ingest and cleave Ag for presentation on membrane and take from periphery to lymph nodes
how do T cells find correct Ag
interact with many until find correct one
where do activated T cells go
remain in lymph nodes to help B lymphocytes or migrate to sites of infection to activate macrophages
what is induced by T cell recognizing Ag
IL2 secretion and clonal expansion
who do effector CD4+ T cells respond to Ags
produce cytokines
what do cytokines from activated CD4+ cells induce
recruitment and activation of leukocytes as well as activation of B cells
what is the function of CD8+ cell
kill infected or altered cells
what is activated by effector CD 4+ cells
macrophages, B cells and inflammation
what are the types of CD 4+ cells
effector and memory
CD 8 cells other name
cytotoxic T lymphocytes
what types of cells do naive CD 8 cells become
effector and memory CD8 cells
how does immune response work against intracellular pathogens
kill the host cell with macrophage ingestion then phagocytosis
how long does it take memory cells to differentiate
3-5 days so window opportunity due to innate immunity first
fever with no sickness is caused by
memory cells
what is induced when T cells have Ag recognition and co-stimulation
secrete cytokines, proliferation, differentiation into effector and memory cells
function of effector T cells
eliminate microbes and cause tissue damage
what happens after Ag is eliminated
T cell response declines
which T cells are long lived cells
memory
what is the advantage of memory T cells
enhanced ability to react against Ags
three signals for T cell activation
Ag recognition, costimulation, cytokines
naive T cells can only be activated by ___________ while effector can be activated by ________________
naive by DCs w/ antigen while Effector can recognize Ags presented by tissue macrophages and B cells
TCR activation by APC requires binding of which adhesion molecules
LFA1 to ICAM 1, CD2 to CD 48 or 59
inhibitory signal for TCR to APC
CTLA 4 to CD 80/86
what is CTLA 4
homology of CD 28
activation co-stimulation for signal 2
CD 28 to CD 80/86
what is LCK associated
CD 4 and 8
what dose LCK do once TCR is active
phosphorylates CD 3 and ZAP 70 after it binds P-CD3
what does ZAP 70 do
phosphorylates LAT and SLP76
what is the role of LAT
recruit GADS and GRB2
what is the role of GRB2
phosphorylates and activates PLCy
what does activated PLCy produce
IP3 and DAG
what does IP3 activate
NFAT and increased Ca2+ via calmodulin/ calneurin pathway
what does DAG lead to
activation of PKC to activate NFkB
besides Grab 2 and GADS, what does LAT activate
RAS and MAP K for AP!
what does LCK phosphorylate
ITAMS of CD3 complex
had do phosphorylated ITAMs cause
bring in ZAP 70 by SH2 domains to the P
what happens when ZAP 70 binds ITAM
Lck phosphorylates ZAP 70
what does phosphorylation of ZAP 70 cause
catalytic activity
what does ZAP-70 phosphorylate
LAT and SLP-76
what is the role of SLP 76
scaffolds to recruit other signaling molecules
what type of PTK is ZAP70
SYK
what do super antigens bind
MHC II molecules and V region of B TCR. Only specific TCRs
what is a saying for superantigens
glue T cells to APC and activate them
what is the problem of super antigens
activate many for massive amounts of cytokines for shock. KEEP T cells bound to MHC and don’t allow release
what can superantigens not do
be processed into peptides
example of bacterial superantigens
staphylococcal enterotoxins
what to staphylococcal enterotoxins cause
food poisoning and Toxic shock syndrome
what is the classification of super antigens
mitogens
concentration needed for SAg to cause fever, shock and death
less than 0.1 pg/ml
what makes SAg -T cell binding so bad
leads to proliferation of more SAg-T cells
what are the pro inflammtory cytokines that cause such problems with super antigens
TNF, IL 1 and IL2 for fever and shock
what type of immune response is T cell activation
innate immunity
what determines which helper T cells are activated
cytokines such as IL2
what activates APCs to produce costimulators
microbes and cytokines for innate immunity
what is an example of a costimulator besides CD 28/ CD 80/86
B7
which cytokines is signal 3
IL 12
what does IL 12 do
differentiation of naive T cells into effector cells
what are the anti-apoptotic molecules
Bcl Xl and BCL2
