12: Differentiation and Fxn of Cd4+ Flashcards
how are T cells made
on demand
how many T cells have specific TCR for pathogen
1 in 10^6
TCR who recognize invader means they are
mobilized and activated
how many TCRs are a and B
90-95%
what do a and B TCRs recognize and bind
both peptides in MHC
where does activation of T cell occur
in LM
what are langerhans cells
immature DCs with low levels of B7
where do langerhans reside
skin epithelial
how many T cells can activated DCs interview
500 naive T cells per hour
most efficient APCs
mature, DCs
what is the evolution of DCs
immature Ag capturing to APC and T cell priming cells
what do DCs convert Ags into
immunogens
where do langerhans go after skin
lymphatic system
where do langerhans become DCs and what do they express
lymph nodes and express B7
what type of Ags are recognized by T cells
peptide/ protein Ags
where do activated CD4+ T cells go
enter circulation, remain in LN, migrate to follicles, help B cells make Abs
what happens for TCRs to have Ag recognition
they cluster
what initiates a signaling cascade
2 TCRs recognize an Ag
what do CD4 activate compared to CD8
4= T helper and 8=CTLs
marker for counting total number of T cells
CD3
co-stimulators can also be called
facilitators
how does costimulation alter TCR numbers
100x fewer TCRs needed for activation
what is the Role PI3 kinase in T cell activation
activate PIP3 for AKt and mTOR for increased protein synthesis
what causes clonal expansion of T cells
IL2 to IL2Ra for proliferation
what is the role of effector CD4+ cells
activate macrophages and B cells
what is the role of effector CD8+ cells
kill target cells and activate macrophages
what happens after Th cell activation
separates from APC so APC can bind other T cell
T cell growth factor
IL2
which cells do NOT have IL2R
naive T cells
how are IL2 growth factors
enhance activated T cell resistant to apoptosis
what happens in effector phase of T cell mediated immunity
effector T cells migrate to site of Ag
how do Effector T cells migrate
through blood vessels to peripheral tissue by binding cytokine activated endothelial cells due to infection in tissue
What is the role of CD4 T h cells
recruit and activate phagocytes to destroy microbes
role of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes
kill infected cells
what is different about the types of T helper cells
produce certain set of cytokines that determine cell phenotype
what is cytokine production from T helper cells called
differentiation or commitment
Th1 activates what type of immune response
cell-mediated
what type of immune response is activated by TH2
Ab mediated
TH 17 activate which immune response
inflammation and anti-bacterial
how do immature DCs recognize Pathogens
PRRS
what do PRRs provide for immunity
A bridge between innate and adaptive
What does PRR signaling cause
activation and maturation of APCs
what is another name for naive T helper cells
TH0
what cytokine produces T H1 cells
IL12
what is produced by TH1 cells
IL2 and IFNy
TLRs for gram+ and LPS
TLR 1,2,6
TLR for dsRNA
TLR3
TLR for Gram - LPS
TLR 4
TLR for flagellin
5
TLR for unmethylated CpG DNA
9
what is another name for PRR
TLR
inducing cytokine for T reg
TGF-B, IL2
produced by T reg
TGF B, IL10, IL35, STAT6, FOXP3
what do T regs do
suppress tumor immunity, promote immune tolerance and maintain homeostasis
TH1 produce
IFNy, TNF or Lta, SAT 4, T-bet
what is role of T helper
promote tumor immunity, intracellular pathogens, autoimmunity
